Find out in this report how the two Routers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"The solution has good performance."
"The solution is especially Session's smart, application-aware, AI-based."
"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technology is its major USP, which gives plenty of room to discuss with the customer why IPSec from 1998 is a bit outdated."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."
"A valuable aspect is its user-friendly configuration, making it accessible even for individuals with basic technical knowledge."
"I like that it's quite flexible and addresses different issues. It's quite easy to use, and the pricing is great. We find them to be very capable switches."
"The beauty of MikroTik is that you have flexibility with the routing parts."
"This solution is very similar to the on-premises version making it easy to use for those who know the architect."
"There are a lot of features to control permitting or stopping packets in the network."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"The wiki page that describes the scripting and other features is very good."
"It is user-friendly, reliable, and cheap."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"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."
"Juniper Session Smart Router could be better in terms of software performance."
"Antispam and antivirus features should be included in the future."
"MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera."
"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."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The packet filtering, user log data, and user access log could all be improved."
"It would be even better with a centralized management platform."
"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."
