We performed a comparison between Cisco Cloud Services Router and Juniper Session Smart Router based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Routers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"It allowed us to create a more secure VPN than we would have been able to do without it."
"The routing service for NPLS called Layer 3-IP is fantastic."
"It seems pretty stable. We have never had any issues with it."
"It is definitely scalable. It can handle a lot more traffic and group work compared to any other products that I've evaluated. It could easily scale a lot more than what I'm doing right now."
"The most valuable feature is the artificial intelligence assessment models."
"It connects all the accounts with the weaknesses, and this is what we were looking for. Also, it connects with the on-premise side."
"It integrates well with the other products we're using. We have it with multiple windows like Palo Alto, Arista and it easily integrated with them."
"The most important feature is that it is designed for mobile vehicle communication in harsh conditions."
"The solution is especially Session's smart, application-aware, AI-based."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Session Smart Router is its unique SDR channel."
"As compared to the other major vendors in the SD-WAN market, such as VeloCloud, Cisco, and others, the tunnel-free and secure vector routing technology is its major USP, which gives plenty of room to discuss with the customer why IPSec from 1998 is a bit outdated."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"A CAPEX/OPEX model, where the pricing model is subscription-based, would give much better flexibility for the customers. The pricing and model for Cisco Cloud Services Router and other Cisco products could be improved."
"Cisco Cloud Services Router could improve the GUI."
"Cisco Cloud Services Router could improve by having more features. It is lacking features, such as virtualization and containerization. Additionally, there should be increased security and connectivity between routers."
"The ease of use within the AWS environment needs to improve. Sometimes, it is very esoteric in how you use it. Therefore, you have to learn to use it, then you are able to."
"The initial setup is easy for one device but is more complex when numerous devices need to be configured."
"There should be a system in place to help existing users make an easier transition to the newer interfaces."
"I would like the ability to moderate between devices on-premise to off-premise. This would be a vast improvement."
"You can use this router in a scalable solution but it has its limitations."
"Juniper Session Smart Router could be better in terms of software performance."
"The UI of the SSR conductor is the main part where improvements can be done. Today, for every configuration step, you have to do a series of clicks. What we are missing there are wizards. For example, I have two applications, and I want one application to be prioritized against the other. In such a case, a wizard for assigning policies to a service without configuring each step by hand would be very helpful. There should be an overhaul of the GUI of the conductor. The functionality they have got in the Mist portal should be baked into the conductor itself. It would be really great, but as we all know, that won't happen."
"Juniper Session Smart Router can improve the integration for Wi-Fi devices and add additional Sassy deployments."
