"The most valuable features are the great performance, high availability and easy administration."
"This is a powerful device and I can get good bandwidth."
"From a data center implementation, with respect to competition from your data, there isn't really a product recovery for the different tests other than Cisco Nexus. For example, if you take Multi-tenancy for the data center, it's something which, I think, only Cisco has. There are some implementation from HP, but I think it's limited there."
"This solution has saved us both time and money because we now have the ability to control all of these telephony devices that are deployed nationwide."
"The integrations are valuable."
"The setup was very easy, but managing it in operations was very complex."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper MX Series Universal Routing Platforms is its robustness."

"Overall, I wish it was a more intuitive OS."
"The implementation process could be easier, which is something that should be improved."
"One of the problems we have is that there is no confirmation for when you try to test a system command."
"There is an ongoing problem with the limitation of the TCAM table, which is that it doesn't have enough memory to allow you to be really granular with your policy."
"Nexus switches should be able to support network function virtualization (NFV)."
"Cisco Nexus is just a platform. You just set it up, give it an IP, and then start configuring it. But there are a million features to configure."
"The initial setup of the Cisco Nexus platform takes a long time. It's a complex system because we have a lot of security layers."
"The software is not as mature as it could be and needs some integration improvements with other orchestrators."
"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."
