Hunter's comment
Cisco packet tracer is a visual network simulation that create network topologies to configure router and switches with the right command.
Pros:
- No internet access to run packet tracer
- It is stable products which undergo excessive stress testing.
- Mostly support all standard protocols.
- Wide variety of Proprietary Protocols like (Fabric Path, Cisco TrustSec). Which are very good and stable customized to hardware hence are extremely fast.
- They're well made, reliable, and tend to function for a very long time without going down.
- Well supported--it's very easy to find documentation on how to do something, or a company/person who can do whatever it is you want done for you.
- Very large feature set. Cisco offers numerous open standard and proprietary protocols and options in their code that other vendors lack parity with.
- Stable code and quick bug fixes. Bugs that cause major operational or security problems have been extremely rare, in my experience.
- Most products have a CLI that is easy to use and understand.
Cons:
- Pricey very costly and lot licensing terms and conditions.
- Although interoperable but you can harness the true power of the hardware in most cases when you Cisco Ecosystem.
- Bad GUI but it is improving.
- Price. Sometimes I think Cisco should be spelled Ci$co.
- Complex licensing. One could invest as much time learning their licensing schemes as you would studying for a CCIE.
- Inconsistencies between products. Cisco has acquired numerous companies and incorporated their products into Cisco's portfolio while retaining much of the code base--this leads to many quirks when working in the CLI's on multiple products.
- Most GUI software is written in Java and can do a lot of dumb things--specifically the ADSM software used to configure ASA's.
- Occasional interoperability issues when connecting to products from other vendors.
- Software releases can be a bit confusing, as figuring out which features you're getting is not always clear.
