Juniper Enterprise Routers Reviews

We are the system integrator. Normally we are using it in our projects.

Juniper Routers are used for our MPRS project with our clients. We have used the MPRS router. Apart from this, we have used SRX series of routers where the event requirement is there. And with switching also, we have used a Juniper router in our MPRS Integration Project.

The most important thing with the Juniper router is that feature-wise, lots of routers are similar. If I'm talking about the performance, it's at 99%. Apart from this, the hardware reliability is very good.

It lasts a long time. The end-of-life is approximately eight years. 

Juniper routers are very capable and can be scalable. 

We may also integrate it as an event solution in the Juniper Router SRX3.

The solution is pretty easy to set up after a bit of training.

Juniper is pretty good and pretty known right now for SRX3 where an SD-WAN solution is there. If we are not getting the MPLS connectivity in fiber, then we may use the 4D, and LD modems and get Juniper integration, router, and SRX fiber applications, which we may enable. 

We'd like them to be capable of adding firewall options to the license. 

In the next version, I'd like to see a load balancing and SD-WAN solution altogether in a simple manner.

I've been using the solution for three years. 

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

It's possible to scale if you plan ahead. The products are very much defined to the load, in terms of MBPS. If I'm talking about a hundred MBPS products, we have to initial levels, we have to think, what will be our maximum load? If we will plan that product well at the time of deployment, then we don't have any problems. That's the main thing. To scale, we have to know in advance what may be our load in the future, maybe after one year or maybe after two years. If you do this, then everything will be fine on Juniper. You don't have to change the router. 

We have ten to 15 users on it right now.

We also use MicroTik. We're also familiar with Cisco, Aruba, HP, and Ruckus.

Juniper is, definitely, in competition with Cisco. They are, I think, 30% to 40% cheaper. In comparison to HP routers, there is a 10% to 15% variable. If you are talking about Ruckus and Aruba, they're in the Wi-Fi segment. In the Wi-Fi segment, Ruckus and Aruba are the leaders. In the wiring router segment, Cisco and Juniper are the leaders. There is no competition apart from Cisco for Juniper in regard to enterprise routers.

In terms of the initial setup, you have to learn a little bit of Juniper voice command. If you have learned Juniper voice command, then everything will be in a similar pattern. That makes it quite easy. That said, for the first one or two days, you need hands-on training. Afterward, it is very easy.

I'd rate it four out of five in terms of ease of setup. It only takes a half-hour for configuration.

We integrate this solution for our clients. 

For 10 to 15 users, if you have to go for the SRX3, a startup central router, in terms of dollars, it is maybe $300 annually. This is just the hardware cost. $300 to $400 is the hardware cost and for licensing cost, it may be around, for support and all, $100 per year. This is for an enterprise user.

We are a partner and integrators.

If you have a small setup related to the enterprise office then you should go for Juniper, otherwise, for home, you don't have to use Juniper as there are lots of products out there. For $200, lots of products are there. Juniper is 100% recommended for Telco ISPs. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for connection with the internet and with other organizations through Juniper. We use it for interconnectivity.

The product protects us from multiple threats from the internet. Juniper is the first layer of protection.

It's so simple to use and intuitive. It offers high protection and I like it. It's user-friendly and flexible.

It is easy to set up.

The solution can scale. 

The stability is good.

Technical support is helpful.

We've witnessed an ROI.

The integration could be better. It was a difficult configuration with integration with other systems. Others are more user-friendly when it comes to integration. 

I'd like to see more notifications available via both SMS and email. 

I've been using the solution for ten years. It's been a decade. 

The solution is stable. It's one f the most stable products on the market. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The product is scalable. It's not hard to expand as needed. 

We have around 300 users. 

We may increase usage in the future, however, I do not have exact details. 

Technical support is great. I'd put it at the same level as Sophos. They're great.

I work with FortiGate, Juniper, and Cisco. Fortigate may be a bit more flexible than Juniper. It does have a cloud sandbox we can use, for example.

Previously, we used ASA, Cisco ASA, and changed to Juniper, as it was really difficult and it is not as user-friendly. Juniper is more stable and easier.

The solution is simple and straightforward. It is not complex at all. I'd rate it a three out of five in terms of ease of setup. 

The last time we deployed Juniper was six months ago and we had a pretty good time. After six months, we replaced all the requirements with the latest version of Juniper and it took, with migration, maybe three hours. It was easy.

We have four people on staff that handle deployment and maintenance. These include an engineer, a specialist, and a person well versed in analysis. 

We handled the deployment in-house. We did not need outside assistance from integrators or consultants. 

We've seen an ROI of over $200,000 and maybe as much as $400,000.

We pay a yearly licensing fee. I can't speak to the exact price. There's only the licensing fee and not any extra ancillary fees.

We did look at pfSense and Sophos, however, we decided on Fortinet and Juniper. 

I'm a customer and end-user.

We always download the last update for this project, however, I don't remember the number of the update.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. It's easy to use, stable, and continuously improving. 

Juniper Enterprise Routers is a network solution that is good for the data center, for campus, and for branches' solutions, too.

Juniper Switches is stable, easy to use, flexible, and has good performance. Also, the technology is good. It has a lifetime warranty and the prices are also very good.

In terms of what could be improved, they could extend the software warranty to be for its lifetime, as well. At the moment, the software warranty is limited, I think to one year.

I have been using Juniper switches for four years. We are using the latest version.

Our technical team for deployment and maintenance consists of two, mainly admin.

We have a hundred people using it in our organization.

They have a lifetime warranty for most products, which is good.

The initial setup is straightforward. They have a lot of tools to do the setup. They are also either remote or cloud-based for very technical people, with hands-on scripting, too.

There are Switches where you don't need to do anything and others where you have to do a lot of things because the environment is complex. So you don't know how long it will take.

But the deployment is easy enough. The issue is that the networks get more and more complex so you have to take care of all the details in the programming if you are setting up a complicated network. If you are setting up an easy network, you plug it in to the power and you are there.

When you buy the product, it has everything inside. Only very special cases require some licenses, but they are quite special and normally you'll have a reason to get these special licenses. So the licenses are quite good.

The license does not cost anything.

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Juniper Enterprise Routers a 10.

I would definitely recommend Juniper Enterprise Switches for users who want to integrate it.

We use it as a central router for both 10G and 100G ports. We are an internet exchange, so we need to have a router for connecting our partners. We use Juniper Enterprise Router only in the backbone application. We don't have any end users. Therefore, we don't heavily use access lists or filters, but we bought a firewall card in order to protect our root servers, web servers, etc.

It is very stable and scalable.

The third-level customer support coming from Juniper itself could be much better. To get assistance from Juniper, we sometimes have to wait for weeks and months. I don't really appreciate that. Their support should be faster.

I have been using this solution for around two years.

It is very stable.

It is very scalable.

We are very happy with the local support provided by our local system integrator, but to get assistance from Juniper, we sometimes have to wait for weeks and months. I don't really appreciate that. Their support should be faster.

Our experience is different for different Juniper boxes. The installation was okay for MX100, but it was not that easy for MX200. For QFX5120, it was a nightmare.

We are not an end-user provider. We are a backbone company. Internet exchange is the central point for the internet in every region. We have connected around 10 customers on one router. We have three routers in our network.

It is not a huge installation. You just need two people for its installation. My partner and I have 25 years of experience in the business, and we install it ourselves. We also take support from a system integrator. For the second level of support, we use JTAC.

I would rate Juniper Enterprise Routers a ten out of ten. We plan to keep using this solution.

We use Juniper Enterprise Routers in our network. For example, we use it for VNG, our distribution portal, and our botnet. W have many different Juniper for different functions.

Juniper Enterprise Routers has a CLR and it's more reliable and faster than others.  

Juniper Enterprise Routers could improve by adding a graphical user interface(GUI). They do not have one. Most of our team has to have a background or expertise in Juniper. When compared to other solutions, they have a GUI. It will be easier for new team members to get familiar with, configure, or set up the router. Additionally, adding some monitoring tools would help us.

I have been using Juniper Enterprise Routers for approximately five years.

Juniper Enterprise Routers we have not had any major problems. However, we did have some problems but it has a backup router engine, and it did not affect our traffic and service.

Juniper Enterprise Routers is a scalable solution. The version of the solution we have is highly scalable which are the MX960 and MX480. We have some less advanced versions of the solution that are not as scalable.

I rate the technical support of Juniper Enterprise Routers a five out of five.

The support is helpful. The last time when we had to do some troubleshooting, they supported us and stayed up all night to help us troubleshoot.  

I have not used any other solution.

The initial setup of Juniper Enterprise Routers is complicated.

We had some help from the Juniper engineers in setting Juniper Enterprise Routers up. Our implementation expert moved to another company and we are having a difficult time finding a replacement.

We have four to six engineers that are experts and they are supporting this solution.

I rate Juniper Enterprise Routers a nine out of ten.

We are a system integrator in Indonesia and the Juniper Enterprise Routers are one of the products that we implement for our clients. Our customers are communication service providers and ISPs.

The compact multi service router has higher specifications to handle large routing table

I would like to see better network automation user interface for trouble shooting and monitoring. So there is a centralized management  UI , to make user easier to monitor the router performance.

We have been working with Juniper routers for seven to eight years.

These routers are normally very stable.

These routers are definitely scalable and can be integrated easily into the environment.

Our customers are not very big companies. They have a base of between 100,000 and 200,000 customers.

We provide the first and second level of support to our customers. If we have a complex problems then we can contact the vendor through their portal on the website.

The initial setup is very straightforward. On average, they take two or three weeks to deploy.

We have engineers who are certified by Juniper and they deploy the routers for our customers.

Some of our customers find this product high, as they are comparing to Chinese products.

When customers evaluate products, the Juniper Enterprise Routers are normally compared to the Cisco Catalyst devices.

Overall, I find this to be a good product. The features are completely stable, customers are happy with their investment, although there is occasionally with the reliability of certain  modules.

I would rate this solution an nine out of ten.

We are a wireless internet service provider that distributes internet service. We deal with two different service providers and the hardware we use includes Juniper Enterprise Routers.

This product is being used as my edge router.

The most valuable feature is reliability. The hardware has been very good.

The web interface can be improved. It should be more user-friendly. I can't set up everything because it is a little bit hard to use.

I have been using the Juniper routers for between four and five months.

The stability of this product is very good.

Scalability-wise, this is a good solution.

I have approximately 400 users.

I would rate their technical support and eight out of ten. I would like to see a better product library or knowledge base. The manuals are there, but the information is very technical. Having more examples would be helpful.

I also use hardware from MikroTik and Ubiquity. I found that the hardware from MikroTik wasn't very good, and Juniper is more reliable.

I found the initial setup a little bit hard because I was learning it from the Juniper website as I was doing it. The deployment took about two months.

I deployed this solution on my own.

Overall, this is a very good product. It is a very stable solution and I can recommend it. The only difficulty is that it is hard to set up.

I would rate this solution and eight out of ten.
