 A good start, but noticeable gaps in content

I like the simplicity of Boson's NetSim software, but when it comes to practical CCNP ENCOR prep, it's not enough. You get a lot of EtherChannel, FHRP, and STP practice, but apart from that content is lacking.
There are no GRE/IPSEC tunnel labs, no QoS other than CoPP, no BGP other than the very basics (so no route maps or prefix lists), and the automation section would heavily benefit from a netconf/restconf lab.
It's a good start for practical CCNP ENCOR study and comes in at a reasonable price compared to other solutions but you will need another lab resource to pass the exam.
I also experienced frequent bugs, especially console environments freezing and requiring me to restart my lab from the beginning. The designer doesn't let you run your topology to test custom labs, which I found a little disappointing.
