What do you like best about VyOS?

The University of Applied Sciences in Esslingen uses VyOS in undergrad courses to teach computer networks. As operating system for software routers, VyOS is a very good choice for lab experiments. VyOS includes all basic functions of a router. It has a sophisticated Command Line Interface (CLI) that is also well documented. Our students learn how to use VyOS easily. We have been using VyOS for several years and we are very satisfied with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VyOS?

VyOS is very useful. A Web frontend would be nice-to-have, but the CLI has been sufficient so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VyOS solving and how is that benefiting you?

The KTlab laboratory at the University of Applied Sciences in Esslingen uses Virtual Routers to enable network experiments for a larger number of students. VyOS is a very comprehensive and easy-to-use software router. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
