We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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."

More Netgate TNSR Pros →

"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.""This solution is scalable.""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.""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.""AWS has a reference architecture to enable the Cisco routers in high availability and Transit VPC. This is a very powerful router and can enable us to use Transit VPC in AWS, and this is a very powerful feature that we use.""The most valuable feature is the SNMP traps that I use to monitor the router and the availability of the network.""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."

More Cisco Cloud Services Router Pros →

"It is a robust and efficient solution.""The initial setup is easy.""Overall we have found the solution to be satisfactory.""The configuration syntax makes it easy for us to configure the device and perform troubleshooting when needed.""Internet access is a good feature.""When we started, the connection was amazing for the 100G between the switches and the co-switch. What the students typically use for school is a maximum is 40 so they now have faster technology.""I use the product to connect to various access points to extend my network.""This product uses a non-proprietary command line, which makes it compatible across many different systems."

Cons
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"If you lose connectivity to the cloud, it is difficult to establish connectivity between hub and spoke.""The configuration is difficult.""I would like to see better security, where there are more access controls and data confidentiality.""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.""Cisco Cloud Services Router could improve the GUI.""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.""The initial setup is easy for one device but is more complex when numerous devices need to be configured.""I would like some deployment examples and guides specific to AWS VPCs and how to separate your subnets. Then, how they tie-in with the Internet gateway and any NAT services that we are running on our VPC. This would be extremely helpful."

More Cisco Cloud Services Router Cons →

"We'd like the product to be more flexible so that we could more easily manipulate some of the features.""They should include features like IPS for security and response.""The product's pricing could be better.""Syntax in the implementation process could be easier to understand for a new user or someone who doesn’t have prior experience using the product.""There is not much of a technical team for Huawei available in Pakistan as compared to Cisco with respect to very complex networks.""In my country we don't have Huawei technology, we only have Huawei routers for ISP. There is no agent for Huawei in Egypt.""The configuration is complex and should be simplified.""It would be better if local storage management was more flexible, so that unused data could be easily removed."
