"In our company, we are integrators who create solutions for our customers. I find Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches to be suitable as it allows for easy configuration and offers features like SNMP. Personally, I find it convenient to switch from Cisco to Juniper EX because of my experience with various vendors like Huawei and Cisco. It's easy for me to read configurations from Cisco and transfer them to Juniper. Mainly, we work with customers who want to change or upgrade their network infrastructure, moving from vendors like Cisco, Aruba, or Huawei to Juniper for modernization. Juniper's features are more advanced, and it helps us meet the diverse needs of our customers. My role involves helping with the deployment and configuration of switching, access points, and Wi-Fi, for building robust and modern networks."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"In Bangladesh, we do not have any expert-level support. We are having many issues implementing the DNS system."
"Compared to equipment by other vendors, such as Check Point, the physical size of the units is bigger."
"Cisco Enterprise Routers could improve by making their solution more user-friendly. Currently, users need to have extensive knowledge of networking to use them because there is only a command-line interface for the configuration. They should add a graphical interface to allow junior users guidance and more flexibility when doing the configuration."
"They need to improve cost efficiency."
"They are pretty expensive devices."
"Many things about this solution are problematic including setup, configuration, performance, upgrades and support."
"Cisco has acquired other companies, and due to this, there are many API-based integrations. There should be one platform that will enable a smooth integration. For example, Cisco acquired ThousandEyes, AppDynamics and Viptela. These are ideal solutions for big companies in terms of WAN connectivity. Cisco needs to ensure that there is a smooth integration mechanism in order to ease this process or point of integration."
"If they can negate or reduce the modem delay, that would be great."
"Finding market expertise is hard."
"The third-level customer support coming from Juniper itself could be much better. To get assistance from Juniper, we sometimes have to wait for weeks and months. I don't really appreciate that. Their support should be faster."
"We'd appreciate it if they had a better GUI. It would be more flexible for the customers that way."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. The product could be cheaper for smaller networks."
"The integration could be better."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"The price of this solution should be improved."
"The pricing is a bit too high."
