Cisco Routers Reviews & Product Details

Cisco routers are a market-leading brand. Products such as ASR routers can be used for SD-WAN integration, which makes them a practical option when you need to connect routing with an SD-WAN setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

These products have a very short end-of-life cycle. With Viptella and Meraki integration becoming more common, traditional routers are steadily losing market share. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cisco’s routers deliver rock-solid stability and performance at scale. The IOS-XE/NX-OS platforms offer a vast feature set—advanced BGP/OSPF/MPLS, segment routing, QoS, embedded security and threat defense, plus comprehensive automation via RESTCONF/YANG and IOS-XR APIs. The broad hardware portfolio (ISR, ASR, Catalyst 8000) lets you right-size deployments from branch to core. Global TAC support and an extensive partner ecosystem mean timely firmware updates, proven design guides, and deep troubleshooting expertise whenever you need it.

The licensing model can be confusing and costly—feature packages are tiered, and perpetual vs. subscription options create budgeting headaches. The CLI learning curve is steep (different images and feature sets across platforms), and major OS upgrades often require maintenance windows. For smaller teams, the sheer breadth of features and release trains (IOS-XE vs. IOS-XR) can feel overwhelming without dedicated automation tooling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
