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.

NetSim Boson Simulator has been an absolute game-changer for my networking studies. The cloud-based platform offers unparalleled convenience and flexibility, allowing me to access and use the simulator from anywhere with an internet connection. This has been a huge boon, as I can easily practice and experiment with network configurations on my laptop, tablet, or even my phone.
One of the most impressive aspects of NetSim Boson Simulator is its budget-friendly structure. For the price, the simulator offers a wealth of features and capabilities. The training materials and labs are exceptionally detailed, providing a comprehensive understanding of various networking concepts. I've found the labs to be particularly helpful in solidifying my knowledge and applying theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios.
In conclusion, NetSim Boson Simulator is a highly recommended tool for anyone studying networking. Its cloud-based nature, affordability, and comprehensive training resources make it an ideal choice for both students and professionals.
