Pros	Allows throughput reliable at over 200mb MPLS sites Supplies reliable performance at mid-sized sites Is much more quiet than an ISR4K Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	Adding more NIM slots on motherboard Adding PVDM slot for use cases where the router is used only for trans coding Adding more granular tiers for DNA licensing. For example it is a big gap between 2000Mbps (400 Mbps agg) and 1Gbps (2 Gbps Agg) Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	Because I have had no issues with this product line and have grown go really trust in it. One of the besr thing is that this has had less vulnerabilities that the past cisco router that I have dealt with. In my line of work needing to upgrade code is always something that needs to be done after hours and most likely on weekends.

Usability	Either you deploy those routers as a standalone, or as part of the SD-WAN fabric, the amount of features and settings you can configure on them, is well beyond any other vendor or product on the market. While this may bring some configuration complexity, availability of support for variaty of different protocols and features allows you to solve almost any network challenge you may face Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	I have always had great response time and have never been let down by cisco support. I have had issues where the person who was assisting me was not able to provide a resolution but by utilizing his team members they where able to come together to provide a answer and resplve the situation.

Alternatives Considered	Compared to the Cisco 2000 Series Connected GRID Routers, CGR2010, the Cisco Catalyst 8000 Edge Platforms is more powerful in processing, and it has the capability to do the segment routing. It is easier to install physically and occupies less space in the rack, consumes less power, and saves more for the company.

Return on Investment	Positive: It has a lot of options for the licensing level based on the scenario (SDWAN, IPSEC, Routing). There is no need for the DNA license for all the throughout for routing mode, like ISR4K models Negative: There is a gap between the 200Mbps tier licence and 1Gbps tier. If a custumer needs a 500Mbps licence (1G AGG), we need to offer a doubled value Positive: The platform can be used for routing mode and can be migrated to SDWAN using the same hardware.
