"The most valuable feature is the standard routing protocol."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper MX Series Routers is its exceptional policy management capabilities."
"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."
"Juniper Switches is stable, easy to use, flexible, and has good performance. Also, the technology is good. It has a lifetime warranty and the prices are also very good."
"The solution is quite stable. We've found it to be very good. There aren't bugs, glitches, or crashes."
"The product is easy to use."
"Juniper MX Series Routers are easy to configure and easy to back up."
"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."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"One area for improvement with Extreme Routing is the need for more accessible and comprehensive training."
"The support, software resiliency, and software stability are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"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 solution is far too unstable. It's completely unreliable."
"Some of the latest protocols are unavailable."
"It's not evolving as quickly as we would like it to."
"The only thing that might need improvement would be the occasional downtime."
"The security features could be better."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"Juniper must publish more information about Juniper MX Series Routers."
"We'd like them to be capable of adding firewall options to the license."
"Better documentation to assist with implementation would be helpful."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"Currently, I don't have specific concerns or ideas for improvement. Regarding functionalities, I appreciate the user interface of Juniper Elite. Additionally, I'm exploring the use of Juniper Routers in a Parliament environment, particularly with Baragon, and so far, I find it to be a valuable feature. We're currently facing an issue as we're in the process of building and dealing with the software, specifically transitioning from R2 to RC. It's like when there is an update in the routers, and in the process, there are chances to end up losing some of your settings. The challenge arises because the recommended configurations for RC do not align with our features, necessitating a reevaluation of many features. It would have been more efficient if the initial recommendation had been for RC, avoiding the need to redo our research. This has resulted in a loss of time for us, and we've encountered this situation multiple times."
