We performed a comparison between Cisco Cloud Services Router and ExtremeRouting 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."
"The most important feature is that it is designed for mobile vehicle communication in harsh conditions."
"It seems pretty stable. We have never had any issues with it."
"The most valuable feature is the artificial intelligence assessment models."
"What's best about Cisco Cloud Services Router is the support. It's excellent, and so far, no significant challenges. Another valuable feature of the product is easy integration with other products."
"This solution is scalable."
"The most valuable features of the Cisco Cloud Services Router are the integration with Amazon and Oracle cloud."
"It connects all the accounts with the weaknesses, and this is what we were looking for. Also, it connects with the on-premise side."
"The bandwidth and throughput are pretty good."
"The routing protocol is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Looking at the robustness, I do not know whether it would be carrier grade – let's say for hundreds of thousands of users – but it certainly doesn't balk at 10,000 users or less."
"It is very easy to set up."
"Provides a good redundancy technique."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"What I like about Extreme Routing is its impressive performance."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"You can use this router in a scalable solution but it has its limitations."
"Cisco Cloud Services Router could improve the 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."
"They have an online registration that happens after they pick up block months. If they could decrease to yearly or something, sometimes the device is not cell phone accessible. That becomes an issue or challenge for us. If that can be improved, that would be really great."
"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."
"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."
"A CAPEX/OPEX model, where the pricing model is subscription-based, would give much better flexibility for the customers. The pricing and model for Cisco Cloud Services Router and other Cisco products could be improved."
"If you lose connectivity to the cloud, it is difficult to establish connectivity between hub and spoke."
"My advice for those looking into ExtremeRouting is: right now all switch manufacturers are backed up for months. If you're looking to implement quickly, I would say shop around a bit because it might be difficult."
"The support, software resiliency, and software stability are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"It's not evolving as quickly as we would like it to."
"Some of the latest protocols are unavailable."
"One area for improvement with Extreme Routing is the need for more accessible and comprehensive training."
"The solution is far too unstable. It's completely unreliable."
