Pros
"The solution has good performance.""It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."

More Netgate TNSR Pros →

"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 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.""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.""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.""It handles stress very well. We have not reached a point of needing to worry about its capabilities.""It connects all the accounts with the weaknesses, and this is what we were looking for. Also, it connects with the on-premise side.""This solution is scalable.""It seems pretty stable. We have never had any issues with it."

More Cisco Cloud Services Router Pros →

"It is very stable and scalable.""It's one of the more stable routers.""Users are able to easily configure the whole solution via simple data.""The solution is pretty easy to set up after a bit of training.""Juniper MX Series Routers are easy to configure and easy to back up.""The stability of Juniper is better than Cisco's.""The solution is stable.""The solution's main features are its security and ease of use."

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

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"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.""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.""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 is too complex. It is not easy to set up, even with the documentation that they provided. It is a little confusing.""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.""If you lose connectivity to the cloud, it is difficult to establish connectivity between hub and spoke.""The initial setup is easy for one device but is more complex when numerous devices need to be configured."

More Cisco Cloud Services Router Cons →

"In terms of what could be improved, they could extend the software warranty to be for its lifetime, as well. At the moment, the software warranty is limited, I think to one year.""There is room for improvement in pricing. The product could be cheaper for smaller networks.""The solution needs to offer SDN features.""The pricing is a bit too high.""The price of this solution should be improved.""In terms of improvement, I would like for it to effectively protect against the broadcast storms, multicast storms, and DDoS attacks.""Juniper Enterprise Routers could improve by adding a graphical user interface(GUI). They do not have one. Most of our team has to have a background or expertise in Juniper. When compared to other solutions, they have a GUI. It will be easier for new team members to get familiar with, configure, or set up the router. Additionally, adding some monitoring tools would help us.""Automation can also be improved."
