Solid routing platform for an ISP
What do you like best about the product?
It's open source. The fact that it can be installed on cheap, readily available hardware. In our case, coming from EdgeOS, the config structure was very familiar. It is very stable. We have been using it increasingly for ~2 years now on an eBGP network and have zero issues. 18 of our 50+ sites have transitioned to VyOS and until just last week the only issue we have had was a DHCP server needed to be restarted one time. Otherwise as long as the power is up, they are operating. The issue discovered last week may well be with EdgeOS but we're having trouble getting a BFD session to establish from VyOS to EdgeOS.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly can't think of anything I dislike. It would be tiny nitpicking things if I mentioned anything but at the moment my mind is blank on that level of issue even.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Originally we had a WISP network built with EdgeOS running OSPF. After reaching around 50 routed sites OSPF became unstable in EdgeOS and we began looking to VyOS to replace it. At the same time as we began that replacement we also began transitioning our network to a full eBGP network. The combination of events solved the OSPF issue, but there were a handful of EdgeOS routers on our network that were still causing issues. Power cycles and/or lock ups randomly. We have been rebuilding those troublesome sites with all new equipment, and swapping EdgeOS with VyOS based routers and so far the problems are gone. ( It could just be a grounding issue with the EdgeOS based install and the rebuild solves that )
Also, when we first began to deploy VyOS, EdgeOS stock was non-existent due to the post-pandemic stock shortage. So being able to drop VyOS on almost any hardware was an extremey nice benefit. At some bigger sites we have it virtulized and that is working well also.

I trust VyOS more than I trust any of the other networking equipment we use today.

Excellent operating system for teaching router functions
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.
