Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
"Easy to integrate with any of the other hardware platforms."
"What I like most about this solution is that it is secure."
"The most valuable feature is that the CLI is the same on all of the Juniper devices, including routers, switches, and firewalls."
"The ease of management through the command line interface is very good."
"Juniper is the best when it comes to the core layer."
"The scalability is excellent. It's one of the aspects of the solution that is quite good."
"The GUI interface distinguishes it from other vendors and makes it easy to operate."
"It has features that allow us to go back to previous configurations."
"This is a lower cost product with better features than the competition."
Cons
"The number of surfaces that can be handled by the chipset could be increased."
"It was very difficult to get technical support, here in Egypt. There is no local support available."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"It would be nice to have a more available list of modules that you can get for this solution."
"The stability of this solution should be improved."
"We are undergoing a migration to software-defined networking. Different vendors have to integrate with each other and we are not seeing this type of capability within Juniper. We are getting left behind in this technology trend by staying with this solution. Juniper is also losing a bit of market share because of this."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking."
"The initial setup of switches is not that simple."
"The operating system, Junos OS, often has bugs which forces rollbacks or additional upgrades to resolve."
Information Not Available
"We purchased the box for a one-time charge, and we are paying a yearly support fee of several hundred Euros."
"The maintenance cost is approximately €2,000 ($2,200 USD) per year, including support, for our entire fleet."
"This solution is cheaper than Cisco or HP switches."
"The Juniper switches are less expensive than competing brands."
"You don't need to license every switch. We only chose to cover support on core/key equipment and keep a cold spare available when needed."
"Juniper costs less than the competition. As a comparison, Cisco is 33% more."
"The pricing for the support is very high."
"It's was $100,000 per year."

Top Answer: Easy to integrate with any of the other hardware platforms.
Top Answer: The scaling number of IPv4/IPv6 RIB/FIB, OSPF/IS-IS/BGP routing table and MAC table size could be increased.
Top Answer: We use StrataDNX mainly as the mobile backhaul solution for IP routing. We're using StrataDNX chipset in our IP router portfolio
Top Answer: I like that it's fairly easy to implement these ethernet switches.
Top Answer: We only pay for support. It's not expensive.
Top Answer: Stability could be better, especially during a reboot. We have had some issues recently with the software getting corrupt on reboot, which causes a lot of downtime.
