Juniper Contrail SD-WAN has very similar things to Silver Peak, which we were interested in, but when we analyzed it, we realized that we were pretty much getting similar features under Mist. However, the demo by Juniper Contrail SD-WAN was very promising and better than Meraki. Speaking in more detail about the performance of the circuit, Meraki can give a view of what's happening. But with Juniper, if you want, you can focus more on the user experience, especially considering that we have a lot of people working remotely. The solution is more specific about what's happening since it explains where the problem may lie and points out areas where there is a problem. So, we like that it provides more visibility. In general, that would summarize it.

The latest version offers enhancements compared to previous versions, resulting in improved connectivity and various parameters. It includes creating tunnels promptly, allowing easier access to the central hub from branch locations. Its primary function is to optimize performance and reduce costs associated with internet usage. Public applications can seamlessly access the internet through the direct public internet service provider, while dedicated applications within the customer's data center can also be efficiently utilized. It supports desktop management, network management, and SD-WAN policies. While some SD-WAN service providers offer solutions without integrated security features, Juniper includes built-in features. This integration allows routing and security functions within the same platform, enabling customers to protect their entire network within the security layer. I rate the platform an eight out of ten.
