    More suited is where we need more flexibility in terms of diagnosing the issues and also troubleshooting, which makes it easier for us because we have a more transparent way of diagnosing faults and fixing the issues. So that's a good one. I'm not too sure what is the less appropriate areas, but I could see less appropriate, probably not in places where it's a quick deployment on the cloud side. So probably that's right, I think. And all the security solutions as well

    Pros
    Cisco
    • [Cisco 800 Series Integrated] Routers can form tunnels over a cellular network via the SIM inserted into it.
    • With an external antenna attached to it, their coverage is very good, making them suitable for remote sites where network coverage from ISPs is a concern.
    • They function as a switch and router in one device.

    Cons
    Cisco
    • Being one of the most versatile routing/switching platforms available, it fulfills most functions one would need in a compact appliance.
    • I have not experienced lack of functionality in any areas we use the appliance for.
    • One small feature I would like to have is 19" rack mount.

    We looked into setting up Site to Site VPN with either Cisco ASAs or [Fortinet] FortiGate Firewalls. We were unable to find a product that didn't also require us to set up an LTE modem separately. It would have forced us to have a mess of cables and multiple devices. Our kit for the field with the Cisco 800 [Series Integrated Services Router] is simple: router, power cables, and wireless access point. Everything is labeled and attached plugs into one device. Any field user can follow the instructions [to] get up and running quickly.

    Return on Investment
    Cisco
    • The long-term stability is great, we have very few problems, resulting in low maintenance costs.
    • Configuration for almost all routers in the basics is the same, so there's a very short learning curve per model.
    • Running some models of Router for more than 10 years of stability, so the ROI with the devices is greater than expected on starting.
