Juniper MX Series Routers Other Advice

DS
Project Manager at MULTILINK COMPUTERS PVT LTD

We are a partner and integrators.

If you have a small setup related to the enterprise office then you should go for Juniper, otherwise, for home, you don't have to use Juniper as there are lots of products out there. For $200, lots of products are there. Juniper is 100% recommended for Telco ISPs. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

It's critical for the partner or system integrator to have experienced people who can do lab replications and other preparation before going to the customer and doing a Proof of Concept (POC). It's challenging to have MX960 chassis at the partner level, but if you can arrange it, it's the best way to demonstrate all the features to the customer.

Secondly, the person doing the POC should be knowledgeable about the product. Once, during a POC for subscriber management, the competing vendors didn't have subject matter experts to come in and assist. Therefore, the initial POC wasn't very good. So, my advice is to train your people and train the customer.

Everyone knows Cisco and must of local and private Academies training cisco , but Juniper-specific training is only available at the Juniper Portal or requires the customer to purchase it and price are high.  People can get free training from juniper portal which is free now days with discounted vouchers for in certification track, this will help the Juniper to aware about products and syntax. 

It's a universal flagship product and my favorite, so I would rate it a ten out of ten. However, everything has its limitations.

I would recommend it. Compared to Cisco, for example, about pricing, Juniper is a bit cheaper. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. Because all the projects that we worked on were quite complex. So, scaling, Juniper could use some switches before the MX series, and it's quite scalable. We can do everything that we want, especially in big platforms

I'm a customer and end-user.

I'd recommend the solution.

It's a good solution with good support. You can also find technology knowledge about the product on the internet. It's not very difficult to look up more details. You can find anything in the forums, for example. In Russia, these routers are popular, which makes it possible to ask some advice from engineers from other companies. They can share their experience which is important when you reconfigure devices.

If it was in January, I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. However, right now, I'd rate it maybe eight out of ten since we don't have support in Russia any longer. Nobody can send you new details to change things if they're broken, for example.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we are using.

It's not that I don't like the product, but I prefer the SDN solutions. It's a good product. My personal preference is for direct, however.

Juniper solutions are very flexible and very good. They offer very good performance. I have no problems with them. I'd feel comfortable recommending the solution. Other companies should try it out.  

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Network Infrastructure Program Manager at a non-profit with 1,001-5,000 employees

Juniper is a leading company in MPLS technology and its equipment was one of the first ones that were ready for it. This is why juniper devices are often used by service providers, more so than Cisco devices. Juniper is one of the leaders in deploying the ISSU feature, although it now exists in Cisco and other solutions as well.

Certain Juniper models can be used only for the routing tables, which is important because in some cases, the routing table size is one of the factors.

My advice to anybody who is implementing this solution is to first have the proper training to help understand the product and all of its features. In most cases that I have seen, the company will order the device and are not aware of the features. They might have issues with sizing or getting the wrong product. Customers need to review the products in the context of their requirements and then build the high-level and low-level designs based on those requirements. Absolutely, you should not try to configure the device before completing the training because you need to take security into consideration.

Overall, this is a good device.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

Juniper is a leading company in the MPLS technology, which is one of the reasons that they are used more often than Cisco by service providers.

My advice to anybody who is implementing this device is to have the proper training, first. It should not be configured before the training is complete. Also, be sure to understand the product and the features that it has to offer. In most of the cases that I have seen, the company is not really aware of the features. This means that they might have sizing issues with the product and end up with the wrong one. The high-level and low-level design should be based on the actual requirements.

Sometimes, adding services to the appliance is not what you want to do. You can use this router only for routing tables in some cases because, for service providers, the routing table size is one of the major factors. Whether it is Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, or Palo Alto, you will see a reduction in throughput for every service that is added to the appliance. This is why proper design is so important.

Overall, this is a good device.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

Juniper is very user-friendly, efficient, and we're very happy with it. I don't know if there are other vendors that have the same kind of service out there. We are very pleased with the performance of the Juniper router.

The biggest I lesson I learned from using Juniper is never go back to Cisco.

I would rate it a ten out of ten. We're very happy with the current functionality.
