"The solution has good performance."
"It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"I have found the most useful features to be layered VPNs, IPsec, VPLS, and firewall filters."
"The flexibility of the MPLS configuration is very good."
"The full Internet DGP is a valuable feature."
"We are able to easily build chassis with Juniper MX Series Routers."
"It is a very stable product."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. We never had any issues."
"The solution is pretty easy to set up after a bit of training."
"The most valuable feature is the standard routing protocol."
"These routers and switches are very stable."
"The pricing is very reasonable. It's not too expensive."
"They have amazing speed and reliability, and they also provide value for money. They are pretty powerful."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the combination of value for money. They're extremely cost effective, yet they provide you with an extensive feature set of things you can do across the board. Also, they're pretty reliable, as far as equipment goes."
"I've never had any issues with the solution."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches are good and easy to use."
"They are very good at providing the bandwidth for multi-tenants and multi-dwelling units. We're managing WiFi hotspots for hundreds of locations, and the speed and performance are quite there. They also have very cheap 10G products that come with really good and flexible software. They are way cheaper than the top brands, and they're able to deliver the same performance and capabilities."
"What I like best about MikroTik Routers and Switches is its easy handling. The product also has a significantly good interface."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"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."
"There are areas for improvement in Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches. One aspect that could be enhanced is the pricing; many clients acknowledge the quality of Juniper switches but find the pricing challenging, especially when compared to competitors like Huawei. Additionally, from a feature perspective, there's a desire for improved clarity and ease of configuration in Juniper switches. Some users find it difficult to understand and configure certain aspects, necessitating the use of external tools. This complexity, especially for Internet service providers, can be a barrier. Addressing these concerns could further strengthen the position of Juniper switches in the market."
"Juniper have addressed issues with the MX204, but it still has a limited number of interfaces. Ideally, it should support up to twenty or twenty-four interfaces to better serve smaller service providers. Additionally, the MX304 doesn't support subscriber management, also known as BNG, which I believe should be included."
"The integration could be better."
"Enhancing the capacity would be a welcome improvement."
"Juniper must publish more information about Juniper MX Series Routers."
"The solution needs to offer SDN features."
"The web interface can be improved."
"Sometimes, when I need to reboot or change software, MikroTik crashes."
"Technical support could be better. They don't have good support like Cisco. It can also be more stable and scalable."
"Troubleshooting can be complex."
"The solution needs to offer better documentation."
"They could improve their product if they set, for instance, a controller for wireless LAN. That would allow them to really have something more than an access point."
"We'd like for them to improve the UI and improve on speed."
"Better security is always better. If they can continue to improve in this area, that would be ideal."
"They should improve technical support and make direct access available to the customers."
