We performed a comparison between Juniper Session Smart Router and VMware NSX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about MikroTik, Cisco, Juniper and others in Routers."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."
"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technology is its major USP, which gives plenty of room to discuss with the customer why IPSec from 1998 is a bit outdated."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."
"The solution is especially Session's smart, application-aware, AI-based."
"NSX has excellent security features like virtual firewalls. I also like the micro-segmentation features, which are useful for the virtual machines inside the servers."
"To be able to do the DR and SRM migrations from datacenter to datacenter, we're able to do them with SRM with VXLAN, with the NSX product."
"The microsegmentation is a good feature. You can segment details, products, or hardware information."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It does have capabilities of micro-segmenting a network, being able to create smaller segments of various types of applications separated by various tiers."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the ability to set up virtual networking environments."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create, develop, and deploy servers in minutes to hours, rather than days."
"You can easily integrate this with other VMware products. It is a robust solution."
"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."
"Juniper Session Smart Router could be better in terms of software performance."
"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."
"A room for improvement in VMware NSX is that it has some security vulnerabilities, which means my company has to apply the patches every once in a while."
"It's not feature-rich."
"It could be cheaper!"
"I want to see the solution expand to more than just the network, for example, perhaps it could provide some VLAN technologies."
"The network-extending capabilities for the physical environment need improvement."
"Despite being somewhat behind in the cybersecurity field, VMware should develop a cloud and a red team to continuously monitor for new malware and ransomware."
"The solution is quite complex. You need to keep your thinking cap on and know what you are doing: Go to the training and listen to the solution architects when they come in because they have a lot of knowledge."
"VMware NSX provides a lot of automation capabilities, but there is still room for improvement."
