Find out in this report how the two Data Center Networking solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ability to tenant-out the traffic and segment it, without having to get into separate physical hardware or trying to figure out VDCs manually, has been really powerful and extremely useful for us."
"This solution has saved us both time and money because we now have the ability to control all of these telephony devices that are deployed nationwide."
"From a data center implementation, with respect to competition from your data, there isn't really a product recovery for the different tests other than Cisco Nexus. For example, if you take Multi-tenancy for the data center, it's something which, I think, only Cisco has. There are some implementation from HP, but I think it's limited there."
"We got increased bandwidth, faster performance, and newer software which has improved our organization."
"The integrations are valuable."
"Cisco Nexus meets all of our requirements."
"We have found that logical tenant segregation to be the most useful feature."
"This product has improved the way our organization functions through the ability to do things in a maintenance window while allowing other teams to continue to work."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper MX Series Universal Routing Platforms is its robustness."
"It's a stable product."
"The most valuable Juniper MX Series Universal Routing Platform is its ability to do routing in any way that I need. It's more than capable of handling the load I'm currently sending."
"This solution is easy to manage and the resiliency of the hardware is excellent."
"The scalability can be improved."
"Cisco Nexus still needs more stability."
"The solution has room for improvement in terms of the learning curve."
"In terms of improvement, the stacking between the two switches in the higher availability model should be similar to Catalyst. It's better to have one interface for configuration."
"The initial setup wasn't simple or user-friendly."
"There is no feature parity between the 9K and the 5K or 7K, which means that it is harder to position the 9K to future proof them."
"Don't discard Cisco Nexus because of the price."
"The installation process lasted too long, taking 16 to 24 hours for full completion."
"It needs to be more multifunctional for enterprises."
"Juniper MX Series Universal Routing Platforms could improve by having a graphical interface. A lot of the younger generation tend to be used to graphical interfaces, command line tends to scare them."
"Although the support for this solution is good, there is still room for improvement."
"Juniper MX Series Universal Routing Platforms should improve by being more agile with new technology that sits on top of the router."
