Cisco is the only "real" IS-IS vendor.

Juniper, Brocade, Arista, Avaya, etc you're not getting it. Any of the
whitebox hardware or real SDN capable solutions, you're going to be on OSPF.

Vendor support for IS-IS is quite limited - many options for OSPF.


Depends on the vendor.

Cisco have as many knobs for IS-IS as they do for OSPF.

Juniper, not so much.

Don't know about other vendors.

At any rate, many of these knobs are not part of the original protocol
spec., although they can be very useful when scaling.
