We performed a comparison between Cisco Cloud Services Router and Juniper MX Series Routers based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Routers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"The most important feature is that it is designed for mobile vehicle communication in harsh conditions."
"The bandwidth and throughput are pretty good."
"The most valuable feature is the artificial intelligence assessment models."
"It provides peace of mind because it is a stable product that you aren't going to lose sleep over at night wondering if it will be running or not."
"Overall, it is a solid product and a good router."
"It allowed us to create a more secure VPN than we would have been able to do without it."
"The routing service for NPLS called Layer 3-IP is fantastic."
"It handles stress very well. We have not reached a point of needing to worry about its capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the standard routing protocol."
"We are able to easily build chassis with Juniper MX Series Routers."
"The most valuable feature is the capacity of the throughput for the firewall."
"In our company, we are integrators who create solutions for our customers. I find Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches to be suitable as it allows for easy configuration and offers features like SNMP. Personally, I find it convenient to switch from Cisco to Juniper EX because of my experience with various vendors like Huawei and Cisco. It's easy for me to read configurations from Cisco and transfer them to Juniper. Mainly, we work with customers who want to change or upgrade their network infrastructure, moving from vendors like Cisco, Aruba, or Huawei to Juniper for modernization. Juniper's features are more advanced, and it helps us meet the diverse needs of our customers. My role involves helping with the deployment and configuration of switching, access points, and Wi-Fi, for building robust and modern networks."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features for us were related to our transition into MPLS technology, specifically for BPN and VPN services."
"Juniper Enterprise Routers is very flexible."
"It's one of the more stable routers."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"There should be a system in place to help existing users make an easier transition to the newer interfaces."
"If you lose connectivity to the cloud, it is difficult to establish connectivity between hub and spoke."
"A CAPEX/OPEX model, where the pricing model is subscription-based, would give much better flexibility for the customers. The pricing and model for Cisco Cloud Services Router and other Cisco products could be improved."
"It could grow or adapt to changes in the cloud. For example, cloud does not support autoscaling. When people want to grow, they have to do manual activities."
"Cisco Cloud Services Router could improve by having more features. It is lacking features, such as virtualization and containerization. Additionally, there should be increased security and connectivity between routers."
"I would like some deployment examples and guides specific to AWS VPCs and how to separate your subnets. Then, how they tie-in with the Internet gateway and any NAT services that we are running on our VPC. This would be extremely helpful."
"I would like the ability to moderate between devices on-premise to off-premise. This would be a vast improvement."
"Technical support could be better. I am missing a single pane of glass, where I can see all the connections, etc."
"The solution could improve by providing enhancements to built-in SDN or SDWAN."
"Currently, I don't have specific concerns or ideas for improvement. Regarding functionalities, I appreciate the user interface of Juniper Elite. Additionally, I'm exploring the use of Juniper Routers in a Parliament environment, particularly with Baragon, and so far, I find it to be a valuable feature. We're currently facing an issue as we're in the process of building and dealing with the software, specifically transitioning from R2 to RC. It's like when there is an update in the routers, and in the process, there are chances to end up losing some of your settings. The challenge arises because the recommended configurations for RC do not align with our features, necessitating a reevaluation of many features. It would have been more efficient if the initial recommendation had been for RC, avoiding the need to redo our research. This has resulted in a loss of time for us, and we've encountered this situation multiple times."
"Better documentation to assist with implementation would be helpful."
"The solution could improve by providing better training to allow more sales of the solution in the market."
"The documentation needs to be updated to reflect the changes made in the latest update."
"The only thing that might need improvement would be the occasional downtime."
"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."
"The setup was a bit complex."
