Find out in this report how the two Routers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution has good performance."
"It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"The most valuable features are security and throughput."
"In itself, Cisco is a reliable product and does not require any major change."
"The commands are easy to understand."
"The operating system is good and well-made."
"It's easy to use, and there is a lot of information available on the internet."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution is flexible."
"Cisco Enterprise Routers is reliable and secure."
"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technology is its major USP, which gives plenty of room to discuss with the customer why IPSec from 1998 is a bit outdated."
"The solution is especially Session's smart, application-aware, AI-based."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"It would be good if Cisco Enterprise Routers could improve their integration with other vendors. For example the AGLP protocol is supported by Cisco and not by any other vendors."
"The only other thing we struggled with from time to time is when we were configuring access points through a controller."
"Longer duration of support."
"It's an expensive product."
"The installation can be difficult, Cisco equipment is professional-grade and it requires someone with the skills and knowledge to do it."
"The cost is prohibitive."
"Recently, there seems to be a lot of people who are leaning towards Juniper CLI, which is easier to pick up."
"The product would be more scalable if it could operate with other brands."
"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 could be better in terms of software performance."
"Juniper Session Smart Router can improve the integration for Wi-Fi devices and add additional Sassy deployments."
