What do you like best about Cisco Routers?

Cisco Routers are built with a lot of sophistication. They perform a daunting task that is vital in every existing network that requires connection to the out world with the internet. They are built and developed with complex tools and functions.

Configurations done on the system are command based, but Cisco Router comes with a graphical user interface a well designed and organised interface. To ease the operations. Depending on the network requires configuring the router with commands is no easy task, but the graphical user interface came to the rescue.

Eco-friendly devices. Power consumption is low, they consume little while operating reducing cost on power bills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Routers?

Cisco routers have a huge price tag on them. I would be much better if every folk who needs the devices is capable to afford them. I wish they look into the cost issue and it will be of much help to the small businesses.

Cisco Routers configurations are complex. Setting up and configuring the devices to recognise the computer systems, switches and the overall network infrastructure and work accordingly is a hustle. To accomplish this a professional or rather skilled network specialist is required. This is an increased cost on the institution because if they lack a person with such skill it will have to hire one.

Recommendations to others considering Cisco Routers:

It is very frustrating to be helpless to be a position you cannot work or submit something because the network is down, a problem caused by a router. With Cisco Routers you can say goodbye to downtimes. Efficient and highly reliable devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cisco Routers solving and how is that benefiting you?

Saves on power bills as consumption of power is relatively low. In every business, they aim at reducing the production cost still retaining the quality. Cisco Routers deliver just that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cisco Routers?

The best part of CISCO router is they are enhancing the L3 router to support data centers like ACI.

I would recommend to go for CISCO 3k or 9K. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Routers?

Expensive product !!

Well, you won't get every merit in cheap product so I would say it justifies its cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cisco Routers solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cisco is coming over all the problems that they have in catalyst switches. In case of switch/router failure in the data center it was hard to replace faulty device with catalyst, but in ACI fabric - leaf and spine its plug and play and it will fetch all the configuration itself, Is't amazing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
