"It integrates well with the other products we're using. We have it with multiple windows like Palo Alto, Arista and it easily integrated with them."
"The bandwidth and throughput are pretty good."
"It handles stress very well. We have not reached a point of needing to worry about its capabilities."
"It provides peace of mind because it is a stable product that you aren't going to lose sleep over at night wondering if it will be running or not."
"I think they have very strong routers because they have multiple processors. I like its easy configuration with applications. For example, configuration with Linux, Iptables, and routing protocols."
"The solution offers very good multi-routing."
"This equipment is resilient and available at a good price."

"I would like to see better security, where there are more access controls and data confidentiality."
"There should be a system in place to help existing users make an easier transition to the newer interfaces."
"The configuration is difficult."
"I would like the ability to moderate between devices on-premise to off-premise. This would be a vast improvement."
"It does the job, but it's not cloud native. It could be even better, like having a single pane of glass and being less expensive."
"Cisco Cloud Services Router could improve by having more features. It is lacking features, such as virtualization and containerization. Additionally, there should be increased security and connectivity between routers."
"Cisco Cloud Services Router could improve the GUI."
