We performed a comparison between Cisco Cloud Services Router and Cisco Enterprise Routers based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Routers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"The solution has good performance."
"It is definitely scalable. It can handle a lot more traffic and group work compared to any other products that I've evaluated. It could easily scale a lot more than what I'm doing right now."
"This solution is scalable."
"It seems pretty stable. We have never had any issues with it."
"It connects all the accounts with the weaknesses, and this is what we were looking for. Also, it connects with the on-premise side."
"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."
"The routing service for NPLS called Layer 3-IP is fantastic."
"The most valuable feature of the Cisco Cloud Services Router is it can make your migrations smooth. For example, if you want to migrate to the cloud, but you don't want to change the IP. You can extend your VLAN from on-premise to the cloud without having to change the IP."
"It's easy to use, and there is a lot of information available on the internet."
"The performance of the devices is very reliable."
"I think Cisco Enterprise Routers are excellent."
"Its routers are versatile, reliable, and capable."
"I have found the most valuable feature of Cisco Enterprise Routers to be the simplicity of the command-line interface, it is very intuitive as to how the commands need to be configured for a specific use case."
"I haven't assessed it in that way, they provided us with excellent service. We had very few issues."
"What I like the most is that it's an easy plug and play device to work with."
"I like that Cisco Enterprise Routers is a stable solution. Their technical support is also really good."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"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."
"I would like to see better security, where there are more access controls and data confidentiality."
"It could grow or adapt to changes in the cloud. For example, cloud does not support autoscaling. When people want to grow, they have to do manual activities."
"There should be a system in place to help existing users make an easier transition to the newer interfaces."
"The initial setup is easy for one device but is more complex when numerous devices need to be configured."
"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."
"The ease of use within the AWS environment needs to improve. Sometimes, it is very esoteric in how you use it. Therefore, you have to learn to use it, then you are able to."
"You can use this router in a scalable solution but it has its limitations."
"The installation process should be simplified, since it is quite complex in a new version."
"Due to the sanctions on our country, we can't get outside help directly from Cisco. We need to handle the implementation ourselves."
"It would be better if Cisco had a User Interface (UI) that we could configure from a web browser. Right now, we only have a Graphical User Interface (GUI). I would like to see a new UI with a dashboard for configuration in the next release."
"While the commands are easy to understand, and you will find a mixture, if you put a question mark on them then it will create problems."
"Recently, there seems to be a lot of people who are leaning towards Juniper CLI, which is easier to pick up."
"If they can negate or reduce the modem delay, that would be great."
"The configuration needs improvement. Most routers, like HP or Aruba, use a UI interface. Those solutions are similar and uniform. It's easier for us compared to Cisco because with Cisco you are not using normal commands. They need to enhance the UI to make it more usable."
"Cisco has acquired other companies, and due to this, there are many API-based integrations. There should be one platform that will enable a smooth integration. For example, Cisco acquired ThousandEyes, AppDynamics and Viptela. These are ideal solutions for big companies in terms of WAN connectivity. Cisco needs to ensure that there is a smooth integration mechanism in order to ease this process or point of integration."
