Find out in this report how the two Routers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 features for us were related to our transition into MPLS technology, specifically for BPN and VPN services."
"It is very stable and scalable."
"Juniper's custom Trio chipset drives their MX routers, offering superior performance. Juniper's design separates the control plane and the forwarding plane, which is a key aspect of their architecture. This separation provides high throughput, maintaining line-rate performance across the MX platform."
"The performance is good."
"The most valuable feature is reliability."
"The functionality and stability are great."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper MX Series Routers is its exceptional policy management capabilities."
"It offers high protection and I like it."
"The most valuable feature is that it has better throughput than its competitors."
"The GUI is easy to use."
"The wiki page that describes the scripting and other features is very good."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is easy to set up."
"I like that it's quite flexible and addresses different issues. It's quite easy to use, and the pricing is great. We find them to be very capable switches."
"The performance has been good."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"It is not scalable, unfortunately."
"Automation can also be improved."
"Juniper have addressed issues with the MX204, but it still has a limited number of interfaces. Ideally, it should support up to twenty or twenty-four interfaces to better serve smaller service providers. Additionally, the MX304 doesn't support subscriber management, also known as BNG, which I believe should be included."
"The integration could be better."
"The solution could improve by providing better training to allow more sales of the solution in the market."
"The only thing that might need improvement would be the occasional downtime."
"Most IT equipment now has graphical interfaces, and there is a need for the Juniper routers to have a more intuitive web interface."
"If you are setting up a site-to-site VPN between a Juniper and Cisco device then you may encounter some issues."
"Antispam and antivirus features should be included in the future."
"There has to be more development in the OS. It's complex for this switch as compared to others like Cisco. For NetGear and Cisco, it's easy to adapt the VLAN concept but it should be simplified for MikroTik."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Technical support could be better."
"The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version."
"The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved."
"MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera."
"It happens that you may find your network is down, if you reboot the switch, they come up. However, sometimes, they reset themselves. That's a big issue."
