Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"My customers use the solution to have better control and knowledge about the applications inside ONE Access. It also helps them cut costs by reducing MPLs and using better internet access from FTTH.""The support is very good from Juniper and from the local distributors.""It gives you that level of visibility to understand what's going on between layer four and layer seven.""The solution is more specific about what's happening since it explains where the problem may lie and points out areas where there is a problem. So, we like that it provides more visibility.""It supports desktop management, network management, and SD-WAN policies."

More Juniper Contrail SD-WAN Pros →

"The SpeedFusion feature is the most valuable.""The valuable feature is that, after reading about its capabilities and using it for a while, Peplink SpeedFusion employs eight technologies within its SD-WAN profile, addressing issues like packet loss and latency. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support team gives quick response and efficient local support.""It is a very stable product.""The SpeedFusion feature is good. It allowed us to move away from IPsec between the sites. It is also a really easy product to deploy.""In the Philippines, VPN usage may not be widely known, but we leverage VPN effectively within my organization. I've shared our in-house systems with other district offices, as I cover fifteen municipalities and cater to the entire province. This platform is a valuable tool for us, enabling collaborative work, and allowing us to update our services remotely.""Our customers find it to be an interesting and tempting solution.""The most valuable feature is the virtual VPN concentrator."

Cons
"The solution installs similarly to competitors. It is not more difficult or easier. However, it could be easier and take less time for the installation.""The only issue was the switch we got, which was a little problematic because it was PoC equipment, and we had a little problem with that.""The solution is expensive. Its support can be better.""Areas for improvement in the Juniper Contrail SD-WAN solution include the on-premises deployment process.""The training could be better. When it comes to the demo dashboard capability, I feel like it could be much easier for our customers to use. Our last customer complained about this."

"I believe there could be some enhancements in the enterprise segment, offering greater options or something similar.""The stability has room for improvement.""Its pricing is the main issue. The pricing could be improved. I would like to see an outbound policy based on the application. It is a very good feature, and most of the customers are looking for that. They can also include stronger firewall features. This would help the customers in choosing this product as the only device for the SD network.""They don't have next generation firewall, UTM, like the other competitors.""The product needs to aggregate the bandwidth of different ISPs. It needs to improve scalability as well.""Their hardware support isn't the greatest. We've had one unit go down, and it took a while for them to replace it. It was in the Caribbeans, so it might be a location-related issue.""There is room for improvement in enhancing security features, such as incorporating intrusion detection blocking capabilities and integrating artificial intelligence to bolster security aspects on the device."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing structure is very flexible."

  • "They are neither very expensive nor cheap. So, we can consider its pricing somewhere in the middle."

  • "It has lifetime licensing. Its pricing is high for most of the markets."
  • "Its licensing fee is on a yearly basis. For the price, it is actually pretty good value."

  • "The cost is in the middle, a five out of ten."
  • "It's not cheap, but it is highly competitive."
