Find out in this report how the two Data Center Networking solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"Cisco Nexus has good overall reliability and configuration options. It is fairly straightforward to access the switching platforms."
"We got increased bandwidth, faster performance, and newer software which has improved our organization."
"It's pretty easy to use and operates at high speed."
"The setup was very easy, but managing it in operations was very complex."
"It's easy to use, and the performance is great."
"This is a very stable solution."
"This solution streamlines how we have to configure things because we can do everything from one device, whereas if we had individual devices we would have to go to each one and configure them manually."
"The most valuable features are the solution is robust, you are able to use it for fabric architecture as well as SPAN on exit with the controller."
"It's a stable product."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper MX Series Universal Routing Platforms is its robustness."
"The most valuable Juniper MX Series Universal Routing Platform is its ability to do routing in any way that I need. It's more than capable of handling the load I'm currently sending."
"This solution is easy to manage and the resiliency of the hardware is excellent."
"As a device meant to lead the processes related to networking and troubleshooting, I feel both aspects can be described as areas with certain concerns where improvements are required."
"If we could get some more automation integrated into it, it would make it easier."
"I am looking for a GUI that goes alongside them and more SD-WAN built to their core switches."
"There are limitations on some of the lower level 9K solutions where you can't do the same things that you would normally be able to do, like for instance the number of static maps that you can configure on it."
"I would like to see better collaboration with other, low-end devices."
"There's a couple of really bad incidents lately. Probably luck of the draw."
"The only issue that I have with this product is finding help on different commands when I'm trying to make a change."
"In the next release of the solution, I would like to see varying integration between VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) instances so we can integrate BGB into different VRFs in a more organized way. We have some issues with tunnels and VRFs."
"Juniper MX Series Universal Routing Platforms should improve by being more agile with new technology that sits on top of the router."
"It needs to be more multifunctional for enterprises."
"Although the support for this solution is good, there is still room for improvement."
"Juniper MX Series Universal Routing Platforms could improve by having a graphical interface. A lot of the younger generation tend to be used to graphical interfaces, command line tends to scare them."
