We performed a comparison between Juniper Session Smart Router and VMware NSX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about MikroTik, Cisco, Juniper and others in Routers."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 solution is especially Session's smart, application-aware, AI-based."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Session Smart Router is its unique SDR channel."
"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technology is its major USP, which gives plenty of room to discuss with the customer why IPSec from 1998 is a bit outdated."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 VMware NSX is the DFW (distributed firewall)"
"The Distributed firewall is simple to add to the network and rules are easy to implement."
"Overall, for me, it's a good solution and has been working well."
"NSX is good in managing security or controlling the security and the access control for each single VM."
"NSX's stand-out function is the distributed firewall. The firewall system is just top-notch, and I haven't seen another solution like it."
"The micro-segmentation and the ability to create policy rules are valuable."
"We secured our organisation with Micro-segmentation."
"Technically, VMware NSX is more advanced technology-wise when compared to others. We have been studying it and so far, so good. We know that the NSX product is superior when it comes to software virtualized networks. </p> <p>If you are looking to work with new and future technologies, then NSX is one of the best options. It costs less for power consumption since it will be a virtual network and not a pure physical network that consumes more energy."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"Juniper Session Smart Router could be better in terms of software performance."
"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."
"Juniper Session Smart Router can improve the integration for Wi-Fi devices and add additional Sassy deployments."
"NSX could better integrate with open-source products. Of course, it integrates with some, but I know many people are uncomfortable deploying NSX with certain open-source solutions, such as Radar."
"VMware NSX could improve by having more compatibility with other none Window-based operating systems."
"VMware NSX only supports some platforms like KVM."
"There were some issues with finance and other accounting."
"In the next release, they should enhance the visual interface. With NSX-T, it's difficult to communicate between the public cloud and the container."
"We would like tenant segmentation available in future releases."
"I think that one of the more important things to see better integrated into the NSX product would be an IDS/IPS type solution."
"Quite a complex solution."
