"Juniper Enterprise Routers has a CLR and it's more reliable and faster than others."

"The solution is stable."

"The most valuable feature is reliability."

"Juniper MX Series Routers are easy to configure and easy to back up."

"The performance is good."

"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. We never had any issues."

"The flexibility of the MPLS configuration is very good."

"The solution is pretty easy to set up after a bit of training."

"The best aspect is that it remains affordable."

"Some of the most valuable features are the simplicity, cost, usability, and power. As a package, it's extremely effective."

"Regarding security and visibility in monitoring, it is very good, the GUI is very intuitive, and it has many more features than those from major vendors."

"The performance has been good."

"The GUI is easy to use."

"The initial setup is easy."

"There are a lot of features to control permitting or stopping packets in the network."

"The router power is the most valuable aspect."

"Essentially, they need to open their licensing model such that when a customer buys a device, they have a full view of all of the available licenses for it."

"There is not much of a technical team for Huawei available in Pakistan as compared to Cisco with respect to very complex networks."

"The configuration is complex and should be simplified."

"We have found we have to restart the routers or reconfigured them a lot of the time, this issue should improve. The quality of the hardware needs to be more durable."

"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better bandwidth management, more granular web filtering, and portal authentication."

"The solution's technical support could be improved."

"The documentation is somewhat lacking and not easy to navigate."

"They should include features like IPS for security and response."

"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."

"While it is challenging to pinpoint specific areas for enhancement, there is room for better support and updates for Ansible."

"Juniper have addressed issues with the MX204, but it still has a limited number of interfaces. Ideally, it should support up to twenty or twenty-four interfaces to better serve smaller service providers. Additionally, the MX304 doesn't support subscriber management, also known as BNG, which I believe should be included."

"Currently, I don't have specific concerns or ideas for improvement. Regarding functionalities, I appreciate the user interface of Juniper Elite. Additionally, I'm exploring the use of Juniper Routers in a Parliament environment, particularly with Baragon, and so far, I find it to be a valuable feature. We're currently facing an issue as we're in the process of building and dealing with the software, specifically transitioning from R2 to RC. It's like when there is an update in the routers, and in the process, there are chances to end up losing some of your settings. The challenge arises because the recommended configurations for RC do not align with our features, necessitating a reevaluation of many features. It would have been more efficient if the initial recommendation had been for RC, avoiding the need to redo our research. This has resulted in a loss of time for us, and we've encountered this situation multiple times."

"Most IT equipment now has graphical interfaces, and there is a need for the Juniper routers to have a more intuitive web interface."

"We'd appreciate it if they had a better GUI. It would be more flexible for the customers that way."

"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. I don't really appreciate that. Their support should be faster."

"Enhancing the capacity would be a welcome improvement."

"It would be even better with a centralized management platform."

"The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version."

"Technical support could be better."

"It happens that you may find your network is down, if you reboot the switch, they come up. However, sometimes, they reset themselves. That's a big issue."

"The initial setup is complex."

"The area for improvement is security. MikroTik is mostly used by medium and small businesses, so the security is not as robust as Cisco."

"The packet filtering, user log data, and user access log could all be improved."

"The user interface could improve and they should allow a license for IBS."

"The solution's price is reasonable."

"The price is reasonable compared to Cisco's."

"These routers are not too expensive."

"The product is expensive."

"There is no licence for this solution, but the solution could be cheaper."

"The tool's licensing is yearly."

"Huawei Enterprise Routers’s cost is average. I rate its pricing a five out of ten."

"The solution is cheap compared to Cisco."

"An additional license can be purchased for support of a next-generation firewall."

"The solution is more expensive compared to other solutions."

"The price of this solution is better than other competitors, such as Cisco. We receive a lot of discounts which make the price less expensive and attractive."

"We have to pay for the device and licensing. The support service requires additional costs."

"There is a license for this solution and the price is very competitive. The cost is less expensive than some competitors, such as Cisco. There are additional costs for support licenses."

"I would rate the pricing model a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is not cheap."

"$300 to $400 is the hardware cost and for licensing cost, it may be around, for support and all, $100 per year."

"The prices for Juniper MX Series Routers are reasonable."

"I believe the price of the tool is high, but it is okay for the services we get from it."

"The price of the solution is fair and there is a one-time license purchase only."

"The price is competitive."

"MikroTik is really cheap compared to the competitors."

"In Pakistan, if you buy this cloud router, it's approximately $700 for the device."

"This product has a one-time cost and there is no licensing fee."

"I consider it to be a cost-effective solution."

"They came with the licensing when we purchased them."
