Great networking product for versatility.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to install VyOS in the virtual environment and on standard physical computers to help resolve complicated network scenarios. I also like utilizing the Linux back end to extend the capability beyond the typical router setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main downside of VyOS is currently the lack of a GUI. For me personally, working in the command line my entire IT career, it is not an issue, but some of my colleagues would prefer a GUI to help them with configurations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I utilize VYOS for site-to-site VPN, virtual routers in our virtual infrastructure, and at our many sites as a network diagnostic tool, including speed tests and multicasting testing.

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. 23 of our 50+ sites have transitioned to VyOS. Every VyOS router we have installed I have walked away from and never came back for a problem. They simply just do what they are supposed to and don't break. We now have 5, and soon a 6th site with multi-gig capacity using the MS-01 hardware.
What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot honestly think of any downside or reason to not consider VyOS. But I would say that we do not ask a lot of our routers. Basic eBGP, DHCP, and now soon, IPV6. So we are not using a lot of the other features that may have issues that we are not aware of.
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 extremely nice benefit. At some bigger sites we have it virtualized and that is working well also.

The most stable networking software I've ever used
What do you like best about the product?
We've been using VyOS for several years now, both for internet edge routing and site-to-site VPN connectivity. For someone who's experienced in working with networks it's not only easy to use but also quite feature rich, and most importantly it's incredibly stable. I trust VyOS more than I trust any of the other networking equipment we use today.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, nothing comes to mind. It works exactly as intended.

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.
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.
