Find out what your peers are saying about MikroTik, Cisco, Juniper and others in Routers."The solution has good performance."
"It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Session Smart Router is its unique SDR channel."
"As compared to the other major vendors in the SD-WAN market, such as VeloCloud, Cisco, and others, the tunnel-free and secure vector routing technology is its major USP, which gives plenty of room to discuss with the customer why IPSec from 1998 is a bit outdated."
"The solution is especially Session's smart, application-aware, AI-based."
"The solution's ability to prioritize traffic is its most valuable feature."
"Meraki SD-WAN is stable and the performance is good."
"I can manage it very well and in a very easy way."
"The Meraki interface is really well driven and very mature."
"Meraki SD-WAN is scalable."
"The solution is very stable."
"Meraki makes you believe that anything is possible."
"It's made managing our client's networks extremely easy, regardless of my location. Being able to hop on my cell phone to see what's happening on a client's network makes everything much more manageable."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"The UI of the SSR conductor is the main part where improvements can be done. Today, for every configuration step, you have to do a series of clicks. What we are missing there are wizards. For example, I have two applications, and I want one application to be prioritized against the other. In such a case, a wizard for assigning policies to a service without configuring each step by hand would be very helpful. There should be an overhaul of the GUI of the conductor. The functionality they have got in the Mist portal should be baked into the conductor itself. It would be really great, but as we all know, that won't happen."
"Juniper Session Smart Router can improve the integration for Wi-Fi devices and add additional Sassy deployments."
"Juniper Session Smart Router could be better in terms of software performance."

"The integration with other tools must be improved."
"A run optimization feature is needed to reduce the bandwidth for any uploaded content."
"An area for improvement would be to add 4G bonding and allow Meraki devices to support dual 4G SIM cards."
"I would like to see more functions added to the next release of Meraki SD-WAN."
"I would like improved stability in Meraki SD-WAN."
"The product should be able to support more than three internet lines."
"They need to offer proper integration of the security features."
