A Virtual Router from the house of Cisco with High End Security Management!

What do you like best about the product?
The good part is that it is Virtual & you need not invest in hardware. The benefits of virtual routers are Scalability on-demand, scaling up or down based on the changing network demands.

Being virtual is more cost-effective than physical routers because it eliminates the need for dedicated hardware. It can be deployed in a virtualized environment to share resources with other virtual machines.

Security features such as firewalls, intrusion prevention, and VPN capabilities make it the first customer choice since it can handle cyber-attacks and other security threats.

Integration with various platforms, including VMware, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, is seamless.

Overall it is an easy to manage solution, using the same tools used to manage physical routers. Managing, monitoring and troubleshooting network issues is very simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since it is a virtual product, dependency on the virtual environment is evident. Setting up and managing the new organization to the virtual network is complex. Identifying the lag of the virtual platform or the virtual router could be a challenge & you need highly expert technicians to configure & manage.

The overall cost is high for both Licenses and Managing devices since experts come at high prices. The learning curve is also on the higher side comparatively, and the engineers have to have deep knowledge of Virtual Networks & Hardware.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows organizations to manage network resources more efficiently without deploying physical routers. It also gives flexibility & scalability as per the demand of customers.
