We performed a comparison between Cisco Cloud Services Router and Juniper MX Series Routers based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Routers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"It connects all the accounts with the weaknesses, and this is what we were looking for. Also, it connects with the on-premise side."
"It integrates well with the other products we're using. We have it with multiple windows like Palo Alto, Arista and it easily integrated with them."
"Overall, it is a solid product and a good router."
"It seems pretty stable. We have never had any issues with it."
"It is definitely scalable. It can handle a lot more traffic and group work compared to any other products that I've evaluated. It could easily scale a lot more than what I'm doing right now."
"It provides peace of mind because it is a stable product that you aren't going to lose sleep over at night wondering if it will be running or not."
"What's best about Cisco Cloud Services Router is the support. It's excellent, and so far, no significant challenges. Another valuable feature of the product is easy integration with other products."
"The bandwidth and throughput are pretty good."
"The most valuable feature is reliability."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the standard routing protocol."
"I have found the most useful features to be layered VPNs, IPsec, VPLS, and firewall filters."
"Juniper's custom Trio chipset drives their MX routers, offering superior performance. Juniper's design separates the control plane and the forwarding plane, which is a key aspect of their architecture. This separation provides high throughput, maintaining line-rate performance across the MX platform."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. We never had any issues."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper MX Series Routers is its exceptional policy management capabilities."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"They have an online registration that happens after they pick up block months. If they could decrease to yearly or something, sometimes the device is not cell phone accessible. That becomes an issue or challenge for us. If that can be improved, that would be really great."
"There should be a system in place to help existing users make an easier transition to the newer interfaces."
"I would like to see better security, where there are more access controls and data confidentiality."
"Cisco Cloud Services Router could improve the GUI."
"The initial setup is easy for one device but is more complex when numerous devices need to be configured."
"You can use this router in a scalable solution but it has its limitations."
"Technical support could be better. I am missing a single pane of glass, where I can see all the connections, etc."
"I would like the ability to moderate between devices on-premise to off-premise. This would be a vast improvement."
"We'd like them to be capable of adding firewall options to the license."
"In terms of what could be improved, they could extend the software warranty to be for its lifetime, as well. At the moment, the software warranty is limited, I think to one year."
"The solution could improve by providing better training to allow more sales of the solution in the market."
"Juniper have addressed issues with the MX204, but it still has a limited number of interfaces. Ideally, it should support up to twenty or twenty-four interfaces to better serve smaller service providers. Additionally, the MX304 doesn't support subscriber management, also known as BNG, which I believe should be included."
"Better documentation to assist with implementation would be helpful."
"The web interface can be improved."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"The solution needs to offer SDN features."
