[cisco-voip] New ISR Routers

[Voice Noob]

If you pay a 100% premium and the only justification you have is that you
don't have to deal with a license key you may be looking at the wrong
products. You may be a better fit for low end gear.

I pay a lot more for Cisco stuff because they're not like everyone else. If
I wanted something like another vendor, I'd buy from another vendor that's a
lot cheaper.

 

This is just one more thing that can go wrong. Router blows up in the middle
of the night and you want to replace it with a spare until the RMA comes
through on the new one?  Not anymore (assuming you need some features that
aren't in ip base - we still use appletalk here)

 

As a network guy I've been able to justify paying a 100% premium for Cisco
gear over the likes of HP and Dell because it's always been frictionless to
deal with Cisco. Over the past several years it's been harder and harder.
You used to be able to call TAC without a serial number and they'd help you
out. Lots of little things that one can look at and say that "that change is
perfectly reasonable", but when you look at it as a whole you wonder why
you're paying so much for something that's just like everyone else.

I stopped myself from hijacking the other thread going around but I wanted
to respond and get others input. What is the problem with getting the keys
from Cisco? This is not a new concept with other vendors.
