Chose Cisco Small Business RV Series
There is a lot of competition in this market segment. I chose Cisco because it is a proven supplier, offers long firmware updates and is famous for its security.

Chose Cisco Small Business RV Series
Cisco Small Business RV Series ranks top in quality and features compared with WatchGuard and or Netgear routers/firewalls. I will say SonicWALL stacks right up with Cisco, with functionality and features. Price-wise, Cisco is the most expensive.

Chose Cisco Small Business RV Series
The Cisco RV series can't begin to compare to the power of the Cisco ASA series. But you get what you pay for, so the cheaper Cisco RV series makes sense financially when dealing with small networks. The Cisco ASA series can handle multiple site-to-site VPNs whereas I'm not …

Chose Cisco Small Business RV Series
Cisco's power really stems from its brand reputation and honestly not much else. No one ever got fired for deploying Cisco, and that's why it stands out. The Cisco Small Business RV Series is no exception there; the unit is built well and does the job. However, much more …

Chose Cisco Small Business RV Series
In this space I'd also consider something from Ubiquiti or SonicWall. Fortinet also has solutions starting at higher prices, but the Cisco Small Business RV Series router is simpler to set up and lower in costs than all three of those. You'll need to sort out VPN licensing for …

Chose Cisco Small Business RV Series
We chose the Cisco routers over the competition because they fit the bill in terms of what we needed and checked off all the boxes. For example, being able to support a small office without any areas of limited connectivity; a stable internet connection that would not get …

It's best suited for small offices 10-25 users. Any more and its best to move away to a more higher tier. It will be less appropriate for a mid level company with a large staff. It's best for a small business with a limited budget and less strenuous security functionality.

The features are good. The support is good. The resources to deploy, manage, and operate it are good. Customer's feedback and testimonials are good. The updates in terms of zero day vulnerabilities are good and timely. But, I still give an 8 out of 10 because I think the pricing, licensing, and GUI can be improved more.

Cisco's power really stems from its brand reputation and honestly not much else. No one ever got fired for deploying Cisco, and that's why it stands out. The Cisco Small Business RV Series is no exception there; the unit is built well and does the job. However, much more powerful alternatives for routers are out there—the biggest competitor being Ubiquiti. The UniFi routers are significantly more powerful in all regards, including routing speed, IPS/IDS speeds, and VPN functionality. Support for those is admittedly rather lackluster though, so if your network is critical, you are effectively self-insuring your equipment. For some that may be fine, but for others, that risk of extended downtime is just not worth it.
