"The solution has good performance."
"What I like about Extreme Routing is its impressive performance."

"The routing protocol is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is very easy to set up."
"I have found the most useful features to be layered VPNs, IPsec, VPLS, and firewall filters."
"The solution is quite stable. We've found it to be very good. There aren't bugs, glitches, or crashes."
"The functionality and stability are great."
"For the Juniper MX Series Routers, it plays a crucial role in our network. They offer numerous features, enabling multiple connections and handling various reports. The routers efficiently manage the number of switched fabric codes and process features based on the specific switch requirements. Previously, I utilized them for processing and addressing customer-side concerns. The routers have excellent documentation, making it easy to resolve any issues that may arise. It's excellent for customization, especially in tailoring the Windows configuration environment. Overall, dealing with this solution has been straightforward and efficient."
"The full Internet DGP is a valuable feature."
"It offers high protection and I like it."
"The most valuable feature is the capacity of the throughput for the firewall."
"It's one of the more stable routers."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"My advice for those looking into ExtremeRouting is: right now all switch manufacturers are backed up for months. If you're looking to implement quickly, I would say shop around a bit because it might be difficult."
"The support, software resiliency, and software stability are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"Some of the latest protocols are unavailable."
"It's not evolving as quickly as we would like it to."

Additionally, the MX304 doesn't support subscriber management, also known as BNG, which I believe should be included."
"The web interface can be improved."
"The documentation needs to be updated to reflect the changes made in the latest update."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. The product could be cheaper for smaller networks."
