VyOS in Academic Network Education Program

  • December 08, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I use VyOS for academic education in The University of Tokyo. I provide some courses for students to exercise constructing network in virtual environment. I implement the environment using GNS3 and VyOS.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to say because currently no problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before using VyOS, I provide physical small routers to students for exercise. It is costly to prepare the environments for all students.
After using VyOS, I can provision the environment for each sdudent easily and students can make exercise just using web browser.

Best choice if you need advanced routing, VPN, firewall as open source

  • December 07, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Works great with small applicances, as VM, with great performance. Its ability to have advanced routing, switching, multicast-routig, vpn with ipsec is outstanding. documentation is ok but in many points not complete
What do you dislike about the product?
I missed most the option to use eliptic curves in ipsec connections (rsa suported and with "bad hack" ecdsa is also possible) and that the documentation is not complete and leave a lot of questions open (when you dive into more advanced areas), i also would like to have IPv6 to be able to turn off (all option available do not work), and i do not like that they removed tshark from recent version - it was not perfect as it has display issued when debugging vpn interfaces (would be helpfull if the output would have stated which point in the precess queue the packet displayed is from - e.g. you see non encrypted packages on the tunnel interface - but measuring direct on an external device everything is ok). thats it for now - please do not get the impression there are more bad than good thing - i really love VyOS
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If you need multicast routing and ipsec tunnels running on affordable hardware and do have budget restrictions this is the product to choose. in my environment is runs rock solid, stable and if you know what and how to do it absolutely smooth to administer.

Excellent operating system for teaching router functions

  • December 06, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The University of Applied Sciences in Esslingen uses VyOS in undergrad courses to teach computer networks. As operating system for software routers, VyOS is a very good choice for lab experiments. VyOS includes all basic functions of a router. It has a sophisticated Command Line Interface (CLI) that is also well documented. Our students learn how to use VyOS easily. We have been using VyOS for several years and we are very satisfied with it.
What do you dislike about the product?
VyOS is very useful. A Web frontend would be nice-to-have, but the CLI has been sufficient so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The KTlab laboratory at the University of Applied Sciences in Esslingen uses Virtual Routers to enable network experiments for a larger number of students. VyOS is a very comprehensive and easy-to-use software router.

VyOS philosophy is the way to go

  • August 16, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It has most of the features any regular switch-router-firewall must have
It's open-source and free
What do you dislike about the product?
Syntax is sometimes too verbose
There many interesting features in roadmap not implemented yet
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm computer science teacher and I use VyOS to teach dynamic routing protocols (RIP,OSPF,BGP...) -among other things, like L2 features, DHCP, NAT, etc- inside GNS3 labs

VyOS sagitta for research

  • August 02, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
VyOS is a virtual, open-source network tool that offers a wide range of routing capabilities. Universities can also benefit with free premium membership and support, making VyOS a must-use in networking projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
IT would be extremely helpful if more examples of implementing advanced network protocols were available online. For example, applying route policies and bgp. Some video tutorials would also be nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No need to purchase an expensive router to deploy and control a fully functional network with advanced routing capabilities. The open-source router virtualisation is also ideal for low budget builds where space is also limited.

VyOS: Empowering Network Administrators with Reliable Open-Source Routing Solutions

  • July 19, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
VyOS stands out as a highly versatile routing platform, offering diverse routing protocols and features. This flexibility allows network administrators to construct complex and customized network infrastructures to suit their specific requirements. From static routing to dynamic protocols like OSPF and BGP, VyOS caters to a broad range of routing needs, ensuring dependable and efficient network connectivity.
Another remarkable aspect of VyOS is its commitment to open-source principles.
Furthermore, VyOS provides a robust and user-friendly command-line interface (CLI).
What do you dislike about the product?
A more user-friendly web-based management interface or graphical user interface (GUI) could benefit administrators who prefer a visual approach to network management. Although VyOS primarily focuses on CLI-based management, offering a GUI option would provide an alternative for those who prefer a graphical interface for configuration and monitoring.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
VyOS addresses challenges related to routing versatility, cost-effectiveness, streamlined management, community collaboration, and network configuration options.
