Reliable border connectivity with responsive support but there's room for more intuitive documentation
The documentation is somewhat lacking and not easy to navigate. There are some errors and misleading information. The general appearance of the company site is also not user-friendly for downloading firmware. Firmware updates should be more straightforward. More security features would be appreciated, however, they should be easy to understand and implement.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product’s technical support team is responsive."
"I have been able to connect the solution to many platforms such as Windows, Apple, and Android."
"We use the solution for point-to-point connectivity, aggregation, and radio connectivity on mTLS."
"I use the product to connect to various access points to extend my network."
"The routers have mainstream features that fulfill our needs."
"The product is very reasonably priced."
"I am going to continue using the solution in the future, it has been working good for me."
"Overall we have found the solution to be satisfactory."
"The most valuable feature is the capacity of the throughput for the firewall."
"The most valuable feature is the standard routing protocol."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution's main features are its security and ease of use."
"Juniper's custom Trio chipset drives their MX routers, offering superior performance. Juniper's design separates the control plane and the forwarding plane, which is a key aspect of their architecture. This separation provides high throughput, maintaining line-rate performance across the MX platform."
"On the SRX, the firewall is very easy to configure, especially when you want to filter out traffic."
"In terms of stability, this is one of the best solutions that I have ever seen."
"Juniper solutions are very flexible and very good."
 

Cons

"Lacks sufficient market availability."
"The product’s performance could be better."
"We found that working with technical support was difficult due to a language barrier, and this needs to be improved."
"If Huawei can use its own OEM processor, it could be a good step up for future use in the network devices."
"The internet service for enterprise bundle should be improved."
"In my country we don't have Huawei technology, we only have Huawei routers for ISP. There is no agent for Huawei in Egypt."
"The solution's technical support could be improved."
"The solution's technical support could be improved."
"The integration could be better. It was a difficult configuration with integration with other systems."
"The web interface can be improved."
"The third-level customer support coming from Juniper itself could be much better. To get assistance from Juniper, we sometimes have to wait for weeks and months."
"One thing that the product can do better is clustering. Rather than just having two of them, it would help if there was one cluster to extend to more notes in the cluster itself."
"The documentation needs to be updated to reflect the changes made in the latest update."
"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."
"It is not scalable, unfortunately."
"We'd appreciate it if they had a better GUI. It would be more flexible for the customers that way."
