I use VyOS for a virtual router solution. VyOS solutions are great, and flexible.Throughput was a key requirement and Vyos delivered 10Gbps easily!The ability for VyOS to easily perform VLXAN and BGP was astonishing with its effortless ability.The greatest part was the VyOS support team. Excellent skillset and knowledge for in-depth network knowledge and ability to support clients through the VyOS platform.

I highly rate Vyos technically and its ability to perform the most complicated of requirements.

Customer Review

We’ve used VyOS for a decade now in all manner of applications, both physical and virtual. It powers everything from high-capacity LNS and Internet handoff with nearly a million BGP routes and multiple 10Gbps links to smaller virtualised instances right across the network.

Coming from a CLI background, the familiarity of its interface is a pleasant change from confusing GUIs, being simple to spin up an instance in just a few minutes but also able to create complex, yet easily understandable configurations. The guys at VyOS are a cut above and deserve a huge amount of credit for producing a best-in-class system that remains true to router-first principles while keeping clear from adding unnecessary bloat that plagues the current NGFW market. Looking forward to another decade with VyOS.

I use VyOS as a high-performance networking solution, and it has exceeded expectations in every aspect. VyOS delivers exceptional stability and reliability, effortlessly handling 10G interfaces without performance bottlenecks. Its support for BGP, VPN, and firewall features makes it a versatile choice for enterprise networks. One of the best aspects is how VyOS remains bug-free in production environments, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted operations. Additionally, the support team is highly skilled and responsive, making implementation and troubleshooting seamless. VyOS is truly a top-tier open-source networking platform that I highly recommend.

As an ISP, one of our most important use cases is to be able to run full BGP tables without any issues. We have been using VyOS for this for years now and it has worked absolutely flawlessly. I don’t think we’ve ever had an issue with this, in fact.

We also use VyOS to host a couple of hundred server-networks and VyOS handles this with ease, even with some of our networks having crazy amounts of access-rules on them and often having consistently high throughput and burst rates.

Whenever we do experience issues or we simply have theoretical questions, it never feels like the support team is far away. We usually receive very quick and concise answers to our inquiries. It’s a very nice feeling to know that everyone that’s working on the VyOS project seem to be experts at it, it does a lot for our confidence in running VyOS as much as we do.

I have nothing but good things to say about the VyOS Support Engineers. I think Dmitriy has owned our last 2 ticket, and the rest of the Support Team have all helped out. Taras, Yuriy, Jose, (and I hope I didn’t miss anyone) are quick to contribute and answer any questions I have. I believe it was Taras that even updated the VyOS/VMware doc to clarify a few things that I needed help understanding.

My boss just recently purchased a VyOS Subscription, or license, because we were experiencing a couple bizarre issues during our VyOS refresh of 30+ routers. We were struggling due to a single “show-stopper” issue, month after month, and not able to proceed with the rest of the refresh project. My boss, Daya Rajaratnam, decided we needed to get Commercial Support and open proper tickets and also to show our support of the VyOS Team.

Just hours after our Support PO went thru, I opened a ticket. I gave it a relatively low priority so I would know what to expect with future tickets. Its was great to see a response from an Engineer in just a couple hours. Fast forward a few days and the root cause was identified, I had a simple workaround in place and working in production(and had learned a lot from other Support Engineers that had contributed). What a HUGE load off my back to have that issue resolved with a reliable fix. 5 Stars for service, knowledge, and going above and beyond. (Hell, can I give them 10 stars?).

4 days later I opened a second ticket about an unrelated VTI issue that had also been plaguing us for many months. The experience was equally impressive and I again had a simple and reliable workaround.

Working with this group was a real pleasure.

I use Vyos from the beginning and his predecessor Vyatta. I like platform because has own style of architecture and similar cli like cisco and juniper.

I use platform to make migration from site to site or hybrid migration with Cloud.

I’d like that platform has all ipv6 attribute and use it very much.

VyOS is the backbone of our company network since the early Vyatta 6.x days. It scales to meet your needs – from 256MB Alix-Board Low-Power Box for small branch offices to multi-processor rackmounted/virtualized network appliance – and is extremely easy to integrate with other systems like monitoring and configuration management. The excellent support from Sentrium turns it into a truely complete product that meets all our requirements.

I’m happy to recommend VyOS/Sentrium. We first began using VyOS several years ago; we maintain a VPN from cellular vendor network to our infrastructure. Since moving our infrastructure permanently to AWS, we decided to sign up for Sentrium’s professional product and service.

I recently ran into a peculiar issue with the IPSEC VPN after a version upgrade – Sentrium staff worked with me to resolve it, and were very prompt in providing information and resolution. We are running two instances, a primary and a backup, and both are working splendidly, with seamless failover.

Thank you for the prompt support. It is great to know that not only the product is a perfect fit for our needs, but also knowing that there is a professional support team we can rely on.

We use VYOS to connect distributed POPs to our data centers and provide secure Internet connectivity to the POPs.
