Juniper MX Series Routers Reviews

Juniper Enterprise Routers are used for network security.

I have found the most useful features to be layered VPNs, IPsec, VPLS, and firewall filters.

The solution could improve by providing enhancements to built-in SDN or SDWAN.

I have been using Juniper Enterprise Routers for approximately 20 years.

The solution has been stable.

Juniper Enterprise Routers is a scalable solution.

We have three teams, totaling approximately 300 people, that use the Juniper Enterprise Routers.

The Juniper technical support agents should have more technical and hardware knowledge of Juniper routers and switches. Most of the time when we have an issue is from the hardware side. The troubleshooting should be more hardware-based.

The price of this solution is better than other competitors, such as Cisco. We receive a lot of discounts which make the price less expensive and attractive.

I have evaluated other solutions, such as Cisco.

I rate Juniper Enterprise Routers an eight out of ten.

This is one of our routers. We use it for routing the network of the university.

I would say it is very user-friendly.

There are some memory issues. I don't know if it is already fixed in the later version. 

I would like a graphical user interface. Again, we don't know if it has already been included as we're using a pretty old version.

We have been using it for ten years now. We are not using the latest update, unfortunately.

It is a very stable solution. I would rate it nine out of ten.

It is not scalable, unfortunately. It has a limited interface number, so we cannot scale it very well. About 4,000 users in our organization take advantage of its services.

I don't have any experience with their technical support.

We used Cisco routers. It was quite expensive to maintain, thus we switched it.

The setup was very straightforward.

It's a very good and reliable product. I would rate it eight out of ten. I can recommend it but not over the other routers in the market. We had a marvelous experience with it, but we don't have extensive experience with other vendors.

We use this solution for the design. The performance is good. 

The security features could be better. 

We have been using this solution for about three years. I believe we are using versions 4200 and 9600.

The solution is stable.

It is a scalable solution. We have about five members using the solution. There is no need to increase usage right now. 

We have worked with the technical support and they are good.

We did not use any other solutions before Juniper Enterprise Routers.

The initial setup was good, and there were no problems.

I rate this solution a ten out of ten, and I recommend it to others.

Our primary use case is as a border router.  

I think that extensions are very valuable. The way you can test the configuration before applying that configuration permanently is very helpful. The rollback configuration is also very useful. The logs, the way they have implemented their system, it is similar to a Linux machine. These features work very well.  

As with almost any product except for something that is already free there is always room for improvement in the price. If you wanted to use some type of server, you have to buy the license. I would like to see more options for free, legal usage of features.  

In terms of improvement, I would like for it to effectively protect against the broadcast storms, multicast storms, and DDoS attacks.

We have been using Juniper Enterprise Routers for about six years now.  

Stability is excellent. Really excellent.

There are three or four thousand end-users daily. We require four technicians for maintenance.

Scalability is an aspect in which we'd like to have more options. It's not easy to scale when we are limited to one or two 10G ports. 

I believe that their current setup for support is an acceptable solution in general terms. They have quite a nice support system where you can find things easily by yourself. We're really happy about this.  

Before using this solution we were previously using Cisco routers. We switched because we wanted 10G bandwidth from our provider. 10-G slots in Cisco were very, very expensive.

The setup for the solution was surprisingly straightforward. I think it was because we just migrated from a Cisco router. There were tools available on the internet that translated the Cisco commands to Juniper commands. So it was very easy to do and very straightforward to build the new configuration.  

The leaning curve was not very steep.  

The deployment took about two days working full-time and the only person involved in the deployment process was me.  

At one point we did use the help of an integrator but it was some point later after the initial configuration was done. We did that initial configuration directly from what we already had, using only the translation tools.  

Because we were not migrating. We were not inventing anything new. We were not building anything new. We were just migrating. That was why it was so easy. We already had the configuration, and we just wanted to deploy it to the new equipment. It was not custom, so it was simple.  

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.

Juniper Enterprise Routers can be used in many types of networks, such as school campuses.

The solution's main features are its security and ease of use.

The solution could improve by providing better training to allow more sales of the solution in the market.

I have been using Juniper Enterprise Routers for approximately 10 years.

The solution is stable.

There are good scalable options available with Juniper Enterprise Routers.

We have 60% of our customers using this solution.

The technical support is good.

The installation is easy and it does not take very long.

We have certified engineers that do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

There is a license for this solution and the price is very competitive. The cost is less expensive than some competitors, such as Cisco. There are additional costs for support licenses.

I have evaluated Cisco solutions.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Juniper Enterprise Routers an eight out of ten.

We are a system integrator in Indonesia and the Juniper Enterprise Routers are one of the products that we implement for our clients. Our customers are communication service providers and ISPs.

The compact multi service router has higher specifications to handle large routing table

I would like to see better network automation user interface for trouble shooting and monitoring. So there is a centralized management  UI , to make user easier to monitor the router performance.

We have been working with Juniper routers for seven to eight years.

These routers are normally very stable.

These routers are definitely scalable and can be integrated easily into the environment.

Our customers are not very big companies. They have a base of between 100,000 and 200,000 customers.

We provide the first and second level of support to our customers. If we have a complex problems then we can contact the vendor through their portal on the website.

The initial setup is very straightforward. On average, they take two or three weeks to deploy.

We have engineers who are certified by Juniper and they deploy the routers for our customers.

Some of our customers find this product high, as they are comparing to Chinese products.

When customers evaluate products, the Juniper Enterprise Routers are normally compared to the Cisco Catalyst devices.

Overall, I find this to be a good product. The features are completely stable, customers are happy with their investment, although there is occasionally with the reliability of certain  modules.

I would rate this solution an nine out of ten.

The most valuable feature is the VPN.

The stability of Juniper is better than Cisco's.

I have some trouble understanding the Juniper technology.

Better documentation to assist with implementation would be helpful.

I have been working with Juniper Enterprise Routers for about one year.

Juniper routers are stable.

This solution is scalable.

The Juniper technical support is okay.

I have more experience with Cisco Enterprise Routers. The main difference between them is that Cisco has more support documentation available online. In my opinion, Juniper Routers are more stable than Cisco Routers.

The initial setup is not complex. It will take not more than 20 minutes to deploy.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

The Juniper Enterprise Routers are being used in a purely ISP deployment. We are a carrier, and most of our customers are smaller ISPs.

We have several use cases include firewall restrictions for internal and external access, distribution switches, and the edge routers. The MX104 units are usually used for distribution.

The most valuable feature on the EX switches is qinq support, and on the SRX it is the firewall capabilities. These are the two that have been very helpful.

On the SRX, the firewall is very easy to configure, especially when you want to filter out traffic.

Most IT equipment now has graphical interfaces, and there is a need for the Juniper routers to have a more intuitive web interface.

In the future, because everything now is going cloud, any features that support or improve cloud services would be much appreciated.

I have been using Juniper Enterprise Routers for close to three years.

We have only had one problem, which we haven't sorted out because of other, internal issues. We had a bug with an MX104 that we tried to deploy and it kept crashing. It hasn't been solved as of yet.

When it comes to scalability, the MX104 and the EX switches are easy. However, the SRX500 model is very hard to scale.

I'm not sure how many users that our clients have, but in our group, we all use the Juniper devices.

The technical support is very good and the documentation on the website is very accessible. Some of the deployments that we have done were made very easy because of access to this information. Without the vendor's help, we could have had difficulties during some of the deployments that we've done.

I am not aware of any other solutions that we have used.

The initial setup is not complex for me because I have a Cisco background, and it did not take long to get used to Juniper. If somebody has worked with Linux or Unix then the hierarchy is not that different.

I would say that if somebody is coming from a background of Cisco and a bit of Linux, they won't have any problem. However, for people that I've seen who don't have a pure IT background, they have difficulties getting used to it.

I have deployed several of the routers on my own.

From my experience in the ISP world, I think that Juniper Enterprise Routers are very good products. I would recommend this solution for anybody who is looking to start small and scale up because I think that you can easily do that using Juniper products.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
