For the initial setup, I would rate it as 10 out of 10. It's very user-friendly and simple to implement Cisco devices.

Deployment didn't take more than one hour.

Even the command line is very user-friendly. A layman could very quickly understand Cisco's command line.

With Cisco, depending on what you want, you need to be certified to be able to set up. It's not as easy for newcomers. IT’s only when you know what you're doing, and you understand the Cisco commands that you can set up. I'm Cisco certified, so I find it easy to set up. However, the person who is not certified won't set it up.

I would rate the initial setup a seven or eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The solution can be deployed in a day. At times, the deployment process may take a week, depending on the other interconnections in an environment.

The initial setup is not complex. Cisco has acquired many other companies, so there are many API-based integrations, and sometimes those are not smooth. 

I had someone help me with the setup process, which wasn't a complicated process. Although it may seem complicated the first time you go through it, doing it a second time, you may not feel that it is a complicated process.

It was not just the router but the whole network, which means there were other devices also. So, the deployment process took just one month.

In terms of the initial setup, Cisco is the leading technology here, so the users are also the biggest in the world. We can easily find any necessary documentation about the configuration, the use cases, and best practices. For me, the setup of Cisco is okay. It depends on our documentation.

I'd rate the ease of setup based on the available documentation eight out of ten. 

The solution is very easy to set up and implement. It's not an issue at all. As long as you have a design ready to go, everything can happen very fast. 

How long it takes to deploy depends on the routing cables that you are going to handle, however, it's not too long. Usually, it's just one day.

We have two admins managing the product. Of course, we're getting help from the ISP for managing some devices.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The deployment took six months to a year to complete because the majority of the deployment was done at the headquarters level first, followed by the rollout to the regions once the headquarters deployment was completed. 

The entire project lasted more than a year. It took 12 months to create and get the entire organization connected.

The initial setup is straightforward. The setup doesn't take a long period of time. 

The deployment is very similar to what you would expect from other vendors. You do need to do some architectural design before implementing. You need to have a good understanding of the layout of the network and what you will need. 

Cisco does provide training online that is available readily from anywhere. Most people are quite familiar with Cisco, and those who are not can learn a lot online. 

How much technical staff you will need will depend on how big of a deployment you are planning. Typically, two to three engineers are sufficient. However, it can vary from project to project. 

The solution offers a pretty simple implementation. For the basic setup, it's really easy. The complexity comes to them when it comes to deploying the routing for the whole solution based on the company's requirements.

It usually requires four people to deploy and maintain the solution. That said, it depends on the data center and the size of the environment.

The solution's deployment phase is okay since it is a process that may not seem too easy, but at the same time, one may not experience any hassles.

I rate the product's deployment phase a five out of ten.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

Considering the configuration phase that takes time, the solution can be deployed in a time frame between three to four hours to two or three days.

The solution's initial setup process is easy. Although, it might appear complicated compared to devices based on the graphical interface. An expert can deploy it in 30 minutes to an hour. At the same time, an end user might take a day to complete the process.

The initial setup was of medium difficulty.

There was some complexity in setting up the existing network to the new network. It took almost six months to implement. However, the timeline was impacted by COVID. There were no issues with the product, but the issue was upping the tunnel and upgrading systems.

Our vendor and partner helped us with installation. The vendor did the initial configuration, and now we are taking care of the maintenance.

Cisco is easy to deploy and easy to set up.

Cisco Enterprise Routers has a simple implementation. The timeframe it tale for the implementation depends on the solution we are deploying. It varies up to ten hours. We use Cisco's wireless, routers, switches, and a few firewalls.

The initial setup is straightforward. Most of the people can understand and do it on their own. As far as the management platform is considered, hybrid solutions are being used by large enterprises. Some other enterprises use Meraki-based solutions as well, and some of them use the on-prem solution.

The initial setup can be hard. That said, we have a good amount of experience. It’s easier to manage the process if you have a good understanding of the solution in general.

I’m not sure how long it took to deploy the solution. For a big project, it might take as long as two weeks, however, a small deployment might only take a few hours. Every deployment differs according to size and requirements.

The solution is easy to install. It is so easy. It does not present an issue. 

Installation is simple.

The initial setup was easy. Deployment only took one day.

The initial setup takes around 30 to one hour, depending on the configuration and the person’s technical ability.

I rate the initial setup a five out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

The initial setup for this product is very easy, once some training has taken place.

The initial setup is complicated and requires knowledge of the solution. 

We opted to work in teams so we would have more knowledge in the field for implementations. Each site team consisted of 14 technicians and there were more than 1,000 technicians across all sites. 

We first analyzed existing routers and switches to provide supervisors with a list of equipment to be replaced. We then prepared installation and configuration plans to ensure seamless implementations. 

The initial setup was quite easy. Our employees are Cisco certified so they are familiar with the setup and activities of the products. The very initial setup was in 2001. After that, we just swapped it for the updated rules of the devices. That's all we had to do. It's been a seamless integration and a seamless upgrade with very minimal downtime. 

Our implementation strategy was that we had to open an office in 30 days. It took us about two weeks to wire the entire office up and put the hardware in place. It was a total initial build so we had no issues at all. Everything was covered. We did have serious problems where we had the wiring issues and whatnot, but otherwise, it was business as usual.

We have three people in our network department who oversee the devices, maintenance and whatever needs to be done. We have two technicians and one Cisco certified tech.

The product's installation is easy if you have Cisco's support contract. The tool's deployment depends on the enterprise's volume and size. You need at least three engineers to handle the tool's deployment. The solution's maintenance is easy. 

The initial setup is not too complex and we have around 20,000 end users. We have engineers and IT technicians who are able to provide us with maintenance services. 

The initial setup was straightforward and was completed in one day.

The initial setup was straightforward and took between three to four weeks.

I have deployed many routers. All of our technologies have been applied to the routers.

The installation process should be simplified, since it is quite complex in a new version.

There are two many changes taking place. While we are still in the process of learning how to use a new version, another is sent. It can be hard for us to deploy a new version, as we lack the knowledge for its use.

The basic setup is pretty straightforward, although we have reached out to Cisco for help when we needed to implement tight security and integration with other Cisco products.

We have a technical team of about ten people who manage these routers. There are six system administrations and three people in the head office.

The setup is pretty straightforward. I'd rate it eight out of ten. The process is very simple. 

The setup can be a bit complex. It depends on the implementation. 

The deployment took about one month.

I am a trained Cisco engineer, the implementation was not that complicated.

The initial setup is straightforward, and it's easy to install. It takes less than an hour to implement this solution. We have a technical team with about 20 people maintaining this solution.

It is easy to deploy and takes 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the configuration you want to upload and the type of security.

In my opinion, the initial set up is useless for a person (a specialist or a technician) who wants to run a full scenario. If I were Cisco, I would eliminate that initial setup.

Deployment took some time. One person came in to terminate cable. Then, the next day, they sent someone to configure the router which took three hours. Some of the settings weren't quite working right, which is why it took that long. 

We have a great number of people, a significant number of engineers, in the information system.

As a manager, I don't have the details of what is involved in the setup.

The initial setup is straightforward. It is easy to install.

It does take some time because you need to do the configuration. 

It can take a day to deploy. It may take longer if it is a complex environment, or if it is a simple environment, it can be done faster.

The initial setup is straightforward. The one interface that I use for one command center and the LAN are simple to set up.

The initial setup is quite simple. We have two people maintaining this solution.

We prepare everything here in the factory and the site where our systems are. Then we set up a new IP address when needed. The time required for deployment depends on the person and site. Typically, if it's a competent person, it's a half-hour job with verification and testing.

It's a plug-and-play type of installation.

We have a team of 10 people to maintain this solution.

The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two hours.

Our strategy was to have both high and low-level information in regard to the configuration. We usually have it in our script and we can use this information to assist us with deployment.

You require about two people for deployment and maintenance of the solution.

The basic configuration can be setup in a day.

The initial setup is straightforward. It was easy. It was installed in minutes.

We have a team of 50 admins to help with the deployment.

We plan to continue using it in the future.

Cisco Enterprise Routers come installed with its OS. They are easy to configure initially. However, it can depend on the design or features that you use. The initial setup is easy and takes approximately five minutes.

Its installation is quite straightforward. Cisco provides plenty of helpful documents. There are many videos available on YouTube and Cisco's site to provide us the required information. So, it was not a problem for us.

The initial setup is easy and straightforward. This solution has a web-based interface which makes it easy for installation.

The deployment can take one or two days. If it's a new implementation and it just needs to install one router in a network, it can take less than a day. But, if it's in Europe and it has a complicated network because they are large, it will take time to make new routes or policies. This can span one or two days.

The solution's initial setup process is simple.

The initial setup for our Cisco Enterprise Router was complex because of our environment. Before deploying it, we had to comply with some security standards that was a bit difficult.

If we deploy normal routing just for routing purposes, it is very easy and convenient to configure. However, if you get something on IPC again, such as more robust security, there is a little bit of complexity. It's just a little bit more complicated than normal static routing and other routing protocols.

The initial setup was easy because we learned about Cisco routers and switches in school, so we are familiar with them and have certification on the equipment.

Our customers are mostly based in the UK. They are not that big. They're rather small companies. They don't require a complex deployment. Therefore, we didn't find the initial setup complex. For us, it was pretty straightforward.

The initial setup for this solution is easy, and only takes two to three hours for a basic implementation.

Sometimes the initial setup can be complicated, depending on the complexity of the network. In general, however, we are able to manage.

The initial setup is easy.

The installation of Cisco Switches or Routers is never easy.

They are command line only, while other routers have a GUI, which is easier to install.

The deployment of the router can take anywhere from one hour to three days.

The switches can take four hours.

The complexity of the solution depends on what you are going to implement.

Just routing the internet into our location is simple and straightforward. It's always through the MPLS, which means that we don't need to be aware of things other than configuring the firewall.

The setup can be quite difficult, but that's the way Cisco likes to do it. That's why we need to hire extra people from the outside to come and help.

We are still in the process of deploying this solution.

The initial setup is straightforward and does not take much time.

The installation can be difficult, Cisco equipment is professional-grade and it requires someone with the skills and knowledge to do it.

The installation could be made easier and better documentation is needed.

The installation can be difficult and skilled individuals, such as technicians, are required.

The solution is easy to manage and took only two weeks to deploy.

The initial setup of the solution is quite easy if you are a technical person. If you are not a technical person it can take a while. A technical person should be able to deploy it in 25-45 minutes.

The setup of enterprise routers is primarily hardware and it takes a long time to set up.

Very easy in all the ways.

It is easy to install. One router will less than one day to configure and install. 

The initial setup was quite straightforward.

The installation is not easy, it required someone with a lot of expertise.

Their initial setup is normal. You need to configure DHCP and other things.

The installation was easy. 

It's length of time varies with the environment, but is mostly fast, between 10 and 15 minutes. 

It's easy to deploy if you know what you are doing, and have a proper migration plan.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward. We have Cisco certified engineers here, and they take care of that. The deployment takes maybe a couple of hours, and we're done.

I thought that the initial setup was very complex. Cisco does not have a straightforward logic for the configuration of the equipment. You need to do a lot of extra things. For example, you have to open a specific port to the outside to allow traffic, you have to review the ACL (Access Control List), and you need to review firewall provisions. It's a bit complicated to manage compared to other equipment and in other firewalls where it is a much simpler process. I find it complex to manage this Cisco solution and I am sure it can be simplified.

Our deployment took about two to three months, at best, to tune it up to make all work properly. It was not done alone by me, but it was all done in house. I have a good team of people, but it took too long to get everything dialed in. Even after that time, we had only met most of the requirements that were outlined. There was still more to do.

The initial setup of this solution is straightforward.

The initial setup is easy and took us less than an hour to deploy.

The initial setup is straightforward. It will take approximately two months to implement a whole project.

The initial setup is straightforward. It has a setup wizard that can guide you through the very basic settings such as IP addresses, usernames, and passwords.

The initial setup was very good.
