"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."
"What I like about Extreme Routing is its impressive performance."
"The routing protocol is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Provides a good redundancy technique."
"It is very easy to set up."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Looking at the robustness, I do not know whether it would be carrier grade – let's say for hundreds of thousands of users – but it certainly doesn't balk at 10,000 users or less."
"The flexibility of the MPLS configuration is very good."
"Juniper MX Series Routers are easy to configure and easy to back up."
"The most valuable feature is the capacity of the throughput for the firewall."
"The most valuable feature is reliability."
"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."
"The performance is good."
"Juniper Enterprise Routers has a CLR and it's more reliable and faster than others."
"The solution is pretty easy to set up after a bit of training."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"The support, software resiliency, and software stability are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"Some of the latest protocols are unavailable."
"It's not evolving as quickly as we would like it to."
"One area for improvement with Extreme Routing is the need for more accessible and comprehensive training."
"The solution is far too unstable. It's completely unreliable."
"My advice for those looking into ExtremeRouting is: right now all switch manufacturers are backed up for months. If you're looking to implement quickly, I would say shop around a bit because it might be difficult."
"There are areas for improvement in Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches. One aspect that could be enhanced is the pricing; many clients acknowledge the quality of Juniper switches but find the pricing challenging, especially when compared to competitors like Huawei. Additionally, from a feature perspective, there's a desire for improved clarity and ease of configuration in Juniper switches. Some users find it difficult to understand and configure certain aspects, necessitating the use of external tools. This complexity, especially for Internet service providers, can be a barrier. Addressing these concerns could further strengthen the position of Juniper switches in the market."
"While it is challenging to pinpoint specific areas for enhancement, there is room for better support and updates for Ansible."
"If you are setting up a site-to-site VPN between a Juniper and Cisco device then you may encounter some issues."
"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 price of this solution should be improved."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. The product could be cheaper for smaller networks."
"Most IT equipment now has graphical interfaces, and there is a need for the Juniper routers to have a more intuitive web interface."
"The security features could be better."
