Routing has supported carrier-grade services and has needed more affordable security options
The features of Juniper MX Series Routers that I find most useful are its nice scalability, redundant power supply, and routing engines. Redundancy is maintained in the router itself, including power redundancy and routing engine redundancy. The routers run mostly all the protocols required for the managed service provider, and security-wise, they also have good features, allowing us to provide IPSec VPN services from the routers. These are the basic, mostly used features that we are utilizing. For Deep Packet Inspection, Juniper MX Series Routers have firewall filters and commands related to routing engine protection, and then packet inspection features are configured. In traffic management with Juniper MX Series Routers, I leverage the policer, shapers, and quality of service parameters for traffic management. I also use OSPF traffic engineering features and MPLS-TE; these are a few features that I employ for traffic management.

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Juniper MX Series Routers?
I do not get involved in conversations about pricing for Juniper because I do not know what the pricing is, as my expertise is in technical troubleshooting.
What needs improvement with Juniper MX Series Routers?
Juniper could introduce more virtual products, such as virtual routers and a better license. I really do not have an answer right now on what else Juniper can make better.
What is your primary use case for Juniper MX Series Routers?
I primarily use Nmap to find security lapses within the network and to check if an IP space is available or not. There are multiple use cases, and it really depends on the specific time what I need...
