Good gateway with helpful traffic shaping and load balancing
There must be a wizard section as per the use case. For example, if we need a simple firewall there must be an auto-install of most required packages. In the same way, if we need a more strict firewall, then different configuration settings. There must be a more easy-to-use GUI. More documentation should be available within the package manager. A visible ON/OFF button must be there and can be easily configured as required. An additional non-us electrical plug must be inside the box. There should be an option to upgrade RAM (i.e. 8GB to 16GB). It can enhance the capacity of the proxy server.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Juniper MX Series Routers is its exceptional policy management capabilities."
"The solution is quite stable. We've found it to be very good. There aren't bugs, glitches, or crashes."
"The most valuable features for us were related to our transition into MPLS technology, specifically for BPN and VPN services."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. We never had any issues."
"The stability of Juniper is better than Cisco's."
"We are able to easily build chassis with Juniper MX Series Routers."
"Juniper Enterprise Routers has a CLR and it's more reliable and faster than others."
"Juniper Switches is stable, easy to use, flexible, and has good performance. Also, the technology is good. It has a lifetime warranty and the prices are also very good."
"It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"The solution has good performance."
 

Cons

"One thing that the product can do better is clustering. Rather than just having two of them, it would help if there was one cluster to extend to more notes in the cluster itself."
"Finding market expertise is hard."
"Juniper Enterprise Routers could improve by adding a graphical user interface(GUI). They do not have one. Most of our team has to have a background or expertise in Juniper. When compared to other solutions, they have a GUI. It will be easier for new team members to get familiar with, configure, or set up the router. Additionally, adding some monitoring tools would help us."
"The third-level customer support coming from Juniper itself could be much better. To get assistance from Juniper, we sometimes have to wait for weeks and months. I don't really appreciate that. Their support should be faster."
"The documentation needs to be updated to reflect the changes made in the latest update."
"Most IT equipment now has graphical interfaces, and there is a need for the Juniper routers to have a more intuitive web interface."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"The solution needs to offer SDN features."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing model a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is not cheap."
"We have to pay for the device and licensing. The support service requires additional costs."
"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."
"The pricing of Juniper MX Series Routers is okay compared to other technologies."
"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 would rate it around a three. While I'm not deeply involved in pricing discussions, I believe it is comparatively more affordable than Cisco."
"The solution is more expensive compared to other solutions."
"The prices for Juniper MX Series Routers are reasonable."
"There is not a license required for this solution but the price should be less expensive."
