Likelihood to Recommend
Network operating system Cisco IOS XR7 is well suited for high-volume networks. It works well for those who are yester-generation and are stuck with the CLI command interface. Cisco IOS XR7 is definitely not suited for small businesses due to its high pricing. Additionally, purchasing security on top of this is a complete no-no for small to medium businesses.

Alternatives Considered
Currently, we only use Cisco IOS XR7 in our network even though we have tried other similar OS from other vendors during POC in lab tests. The Junos SW is similar, but it lacks compatibility with different platforms in our network which did not allow us to implement it in our environment.
