Juniper MX Series Routers Reviews

We're using them for our ISP backbone routers and for home networks. We're getting services as an ISP.

They have great capacities and are very reliable routers.

There is room for improvement in the pricing, as they are quite expensive, but they are very good routers.

I worked with this solution for a couple of years. I've worked with up to the MX960.

It is a very stable product. 

The product offers good scalability. This was for a country-wide setup, so we were handling traffic for millions of users.

We had local support. 

The setup was also a bit complex, but we received good training for it.

We deployed it for quite a big project, so it took some time to set up, especially for a nationwide ISP.

We needed a good plan, the right environment for the devices, and then we proceeded with the deployment.

We had about 14 staff members for for the deployment and maintenance, mostly engineers, and a couple of managers.

The ROI is great. It is worth the investment. 

I would rate Juniper MX Series Routers a ten out of ten, they're first-class.

We use it for Internet pairing. 

The full Internet DGP is a valuable feature. They used to provide high gig options, but now we have increased capacity and look for more options.

Juniper can work on their capacity, and ability to support BGP protocols. The functionality is limited in Juniper. There is a disruption in the convergence of network change. There is also a change in license which needs to be looked at after each time. Automation can also be improved.

I have been using Juniper MX Series Router for 15 years now. 

It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. 

The scalability is currently not satisfactory. We have a device that needs ten terabytes of gig capacity, but currently, Juniper provides four Terabytes, which isn’t satisfactory for our needs. I would rate it a seven out of ten.

The support is good. 

Positive

Before Juniper, we used Cisco. We decided to shift due to the capacity, volume, and price differences. Currently, we are looking into Arista Networks.

The initial setup was not a very complex process and took three weeks. It went according to the plan.

We have to pay for the device and licensing. The support service requires additional costs.

It is a good product. It has been a very stable product in terms of functionality, capacity, and transmit limit. The support was very quick and documentation is readily available. I would rate the product an eight out of ten overall. 

This is one of our routers. We use it for routing the network of the university.

I would say it is very user-friendly.

There are some memory issues. I don't know if it is already fixed in the later version. 

I would like a graphical user interface. Again, we don't know if it has already been included as we're using a pretty old version.

We have been using it for ten years now. We are not using the latest update, unfortunately.

It is a very stable solution. I would rate it nine out of ten.

It is not scalable, unfortunately. It has a limited interface number, so we cannot scale it very well. About 4,000 users in our organization take advantage of its services.

I don't have any experience with their technical support.

We used Cisco routers. It was quite expensive to maintain, thus we switched it.

The setup was very straightforward.

It's a very good and reliable product. I would rate it eight out of ten. I can recommend it but not over the other routers in the market. We had a marvelous experience with it, but we don't have extensive experience with other vendors.

Juniper Enterprise Routers is very flexible.

The solution could improve reliability and it needs more functions.

I have been using Juniper Enterprise Routers for approximately one year.

The solution is stable.

Juniper Enterprise Routers is scalable.

We have approximately one hundred users using the solution in one of our contracts.

The installation was easy.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Juniper Enterprise Routers a seven out of ten.

Juniper Enterprise Routers are used for network security.

I have found the most useful features to be layered VPNs, IPsec, VPLS, and firewall filters.

The solution could improve by providing enhancements to built-in SDN or SDWAN.

I have been using Juniper Enterprise Routers for approximately 20 years.

The solution has been stable.

Juniper Enterprise Routers is a scalable solution.

We have three teams, totaling approximately 300 people, that use the Juniper Enterprise Routers.

The Juniper technical support agents should have more technical and hardware knowledge of Juniper routers and switches. Most of the time when we have an issue is from the hardware side. The troubleshooting should be more hardware-based.

The price of this solution is better than other competitors, such as Cisco. We receive a lot of discounts which make the price less expensive and attractive.

I have evaluated other solutions, such as Cisco.

I rate Juniper Enterprise Routers an eight out of ten.

Juniper Enterprise Routers can be used in many types of networks, such as school campuses.

The solution's main features are its security and ease of use.

The solution could improve by providing better training to allow more sales of the solution in the market.

I have been using Juniper Enterprise Routers for approximately 10 years.

The solution is stable.

There are good scalable options available with Juniper Enterprise Routers.

We have 60% of our customers using this solution.

The technical support is good.

The installation is easy and it does not take very long.

We have certified engineers that do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

There is a license for this solution and the price is very competitive. The cost is less expensive than some competitors, such as Cisco. There are additional costs for support licenses.

I have evaluated Cisco solutions.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Juniper Enterprise Routers an eight out of ten.

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.
