Juniper Session Smart Router vs MikroTik Cloud Router Switch comparison

"As compared to the other major vendors in the SD-WAN market, such as VeloCloud, Cisco, and others, the tunnel-free and secure vector routing technology is its major USP, which gives plenty of room to discuss with the customer why IPSec from 1998 is a bit outdated."

"The most valuable feature of Juniper Session Smart Router is its unique SDR channel."

"Customer service is very prompt."

"Juniper Session Smart Router could be better in terms of software performance."

"Juniper Session Smart Router can improve the integration for Wi-Fi devices and add additional Sassy deployments."

"The UI of the SSR conductor is the main part where improvements can be done. Today, for every configuration step, you have to do a series of clicks. What we are missing there are wizards. For example, I have two applications, and I want one application to be prioritized against the other. In such a case, a wizard for assigning policies to a service without configuring each step by hand would be very helpful. There should be an overhaul of the GUI of the conductor. The functionality they have got in the Mist portal should be baked into the conductor itself. It would be really great, but as we all know, that won't happen."

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

"Improvements are needed with respect to some of the security, especially for VPN links between vendors other than Cisco."

"MikroTik Cloud Router Switch needs improvement in the area of security, although the recent models are addressing this."

"The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved."

"Antispam and antivirus features should be included in the future."

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

"If MikroTik had a marketing team and support team in India then it would be much easier for us to get the product, as well as support."

"Technical support could be better."

"We are currently renegotiating the offer for the licenses and the license bundle model. The license for an ISP has to be different from the license for an end customer. This is something we are currently renegotiating with Juniper, but, of course, the pricing for the licensing is always an issue when you want to get more customers."

"It is a simple bandwidth-based license and the orchestration comes bundled with the solution by default."

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

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

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

"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."

"The price is competitive."
