Beneficial cloud connected networking, knowledgeable support, and reliable
Huawei Enterprise Routers can improve by enhancing their security. The software architecture and the operating system that runs on their router and the security capability are not as strong when compared to Cisco. In an upcoming release, they should add more integration for mobile applications with the capability of management monitoring the network remotely.
Kushtrim Arifi - PeerSpot reviewer
Highly scalable, especially suitable for complex and large-scale network deployments
The "Commit" feature stands out. When you try to commit commands, you have some options like sandbox config, leaving those temporary for 60 seconds. This feature allows you to commit configuration changes to the candidate configuration, and then review them for errors before committing them to the active configuration. Another feature that I like is the integration with Cisco routers. This allows you to connect Juniper MX routers to Cisco routers and have them work together seamlessly. We never have interoperability issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is easy."
"Internet access is a good feature."
"The setup is simple."
"Overall we have found the solution to be satisfactory."
"The product’s technical support team is responsive."
"There is a lot of information available about routers and how to configure Huawei Routers right now."
"It's simple to use and offers good connectivity."
"It is a robust and efficient solution."
"I would say it is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the capacity of the throughput for the firewall."
"The flexibility of the MPLS configuration is very good."
"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."
"It is a very stable product."
"It offers high protection and I like it."
"Users are able to easily configure the whole solution via simple data."
"The full Internet DGP is a valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The configuration is complex and should be simplified."
"It would be better if local storage management was more flexible, so that unused data could be easily removed."
"Lacks sufficient market availability."
"They should include features like IPS for security and response."
"There isn't really any scalability potential."
"There is not much of a technical team for Huawei available in Pakistan as compared to Cisco with respect to very complex networks."
"The only problem I see is configuration loss."
"The documentation is somewhat lacking and not easy to navigate."
"Automation can also be improved."
"The solution could improve by providing better training to allow more sales of the solution in the market."
"If you are setting up a site-to-site VPN between a Juniper and Cisco device then you may encounter some issues."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"The integration could be better."
"Enhancing the capacity would be a welcome improvement."
"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 pricing is a bit too high."

"The solution is cheap compared to Cisco."

"$300 to $400 is the hardware cost and for licensing cost, it may be around, for support and all, $100 per year."
"We have to pay for the device and licensing. The support service requires additional costs."
"An additional license can be purchased for support of a next-generation firewall."
"The pricing of Juniper MX Series Routers is okay compared to other technologies."
"The prices for Juniper MX Series Routers are reasonable."
