Find out what your peers are saying about MikroTik, Cisco, Juniper and others in Routers."It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"The solution has good performance."
"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technology is its major USP, which gives plenty of room to discuss with the customer why IPSec from 1998 is a bit outdated."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 most valuable feature of Juniper Session Smart Router is its unique SDR channel."
"The solution is especially Session's smart, application-aware, AI-based."
"The solution is very stable and reliable."
"It gives more security and micro-segmentation. It helps to set network configurations in an easy way."
"VMware NSX is a very good solution. It's also a scalable solution."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's initial setup process was easy."
"This is the most scalable product of its type."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the ease of use and its user friendly. For example, it is simple to change the subnet masks."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"Over the last two years, they've enhanced a lot, especially in regard to integration with OpenStack."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"Juniper Session Smart Router could be better in terms of software performance."
"Juniper Session Smart Router can improve the integration for Wi-Fi devices and add additional Sassy deployments."
"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."
"There could be an improvement in regards to security."
"The next release of NSX should try to make Kubernetes and container integration a little easier than it is now. It's quite a complicated process."
"VMware NSX could improve by having more compatibility with other none Window-based operating systems."
"Occasionally the licensing is not very clear. They should make it easier to understand."
"It could be cheaper!"
"The solution is quite complex. You need to keep your thinking cap on and know what you are doing: Go to the training and listen to the solution architects when they come in because they have a lot of knowledge."
"Our technical team is always looking for the solutions that they work with to offer more convenient integrations."
"It needs to be cheaper."
