High scalability network management with centralized control and an intuitive interface that provides efficient monitoring and configuration capabilities

Pros

"A centralized platform is crucial for efficiently managing all of our switches, which were previously handled individually, leading to significant challenges."

Cons

"Its interface should be improved and enhanced to offer various functions, with flexible pricing"

What is our primary use case?

It served as my main point of contact for banking and the central tool for managing a large network of switches across multiple locations. The network consisted of about 3,300 switches, with roughly 2,200 of them running a specific software version. It primarily functioned as a network management platform, enabling tasks like site supervision, upgrades, and software version checks. It was also used to monitor the operational status of each site within the network.

How has it helped my organization?

Within our organization, we manage around three hundred sites, and Junos Space enables us to easily determine the status of each site by checking the list of connected switches. Before addressing any site-related problems, I typically investigate and confirm with the Internet Service Provider to determine the most cost-effective and technically sound solution. This involves examining various aspects, such as technical engineering and plumbing. If I identify issues at a particular site, I need to investigate whether it's related to network switching problems or potentially other issues that need attention.

Stable with good performance, and the technical support is better than others

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the technical support, as it is better than others."

Cons

What is our primary use case?

We are internet service providers and when our clients subscribe to our services, we provide the features.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the technical support, as it is better than others.

Central management with a single pane of glass, but they need to keep developing it

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the management from a single pane of glass."

Cons

" I would like to see Space created to fully functional, where it's got multiple modules, particularly SD-WAN working on Corporate, or maybe become part of the Orchestrator portion."

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the management from a single pane of glass.

What needs improvement?

I think that the best thing is that they should keep working on Space. I feel like it's been taking a back burner to other things, and I think that they're trying to go different routes. Ideally, I would like to see Space created to fully functional, where it's got multiple modules, particularly SD-WAN working on Corporate, or maybe become part of the Orchestrator portion. Or, we could see it potentially go out and embed itself into some of the other services that they have to offer.
