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."
"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technology is its major USP, which gives plenty of room to discuss with the customer why IPSec from 1998 is a bit outdated."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 Juniper Session Smart Router is its unique SDR channel."
"The solution is especially Session's smart, application-aware, AI-based."
"It gives more security and micro-segmentation. It helps to set network configurations in an easy way."
"It provides a single pane of glass. You can do the switching, routing, load balancing, IPS, IDS, etc. Everything is under one umbrella. So, there is no vendor dependency over there."
"The organization of it is logical, useful, and intuitive."
"You can easily integrate this with other VMware products. It is a robust solution."
"NSX can reduce costs and has good service. It is easy for you and your users to use."
"We like that everything is integrated."
"The micro-segmentation and the ability to create policy rules are valuable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"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 could be better in terms of software performance."
"Juniper Session Smart Router can improve the integration for Wi-Fi devices and add additional Sassy deployments."
"The support needs improvement."
"It lacks full knowledge of physical side of the network topology."
"VMware NSX should be able to scale for different customers, even the big ones. Its scalability needs improvement. Stability for it should also be improved."
"An area for improvement in VMware NSX is that it uses up more resources and is heavy on the network. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is more automation."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"They need to enhance their technical support."
"VMware NSX provides a lot of automation capabilities, but there is still room for improvement."
"The support from VMware NSX could improve."
