Smart configuration management eliminates the need to worry about managing the network's configurations

Pros

"It provides proactive alerting in a single dashboard solution."

Cons

"Juniper needs to address the market's specific requirements, such as the SME sector, and offer more lower-priced products like a lower-end segment switch. "

Handles network connections and hosts multiple services with automation

Pros

"Contrail automates the excellent communication between virtual appliances."

Cons

"Concerns were raised about the complexity of involving networking components like MX routers, which often required expertise beyond the scope of software engineers. As a result, users encountered challenges in achieving comprehensive understanding and troubleshooting of networking issues within the Contrail environment."

It's stable enough in a lab, but the setup is complex, and support is insufficient

Pros

"After we finished setting Contrail up, it seemed stable enough. Still, we never tested it in a real environment, so we don't have enough information to say whether it's stable with a given number of users and appliances. We have tested it in a lab environment, but we haven't tested enough to say that the platform is stable. "

Cons

"Visibility, especially for the top of the platform, is a nightmare. The top was documented incorrectly and really complex to complete. In the end, it worked but only after several weeks of work with the support of a Juniper solution engineer in Holland. "

Reliable, and priced well for small to medium sized businesses

Pros

"Juniper Contrail Networking is a stable solution."

Cons

"Juniper Contrail Networking is difficult if you do not have a certificate for Juniper. Juniper is a different type of configuration or operation than Cisco."
