We performed a comparison between Huawei Enterprise Routers and Juniper Contrail SD-WAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two WAN Edge solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product is good, easy to manage , and works fine."
"This product uses a non-proprietary command line, which makes it compatible across many different systems."
"The product is very reasonably priced."
"Overall we have found the solution to be satisfactory."
"The product is easy to improve and deploy in terms of configuration for engineers and technical executives."
"The solution provides support for 5G connectivity."
"Internet access is a good feature."
"We use the solution for point-to-point connectivity, aggregation, and radio connectivity on mTLS."
"It gives you that level of visibility to understand what's going on between layer four and layer seven."
"My customers use the solution to have better control and knowledge about the applications inside ONE Access. It also helps them cut costs by reducing MPLs and using better internet access from FTTH."
"The solution is more specific about what's happening since it explains where the problem may lie and points out areas where there is a problem. So, we like that it provides more visibility."
"The support is very good from Juniper and from the local distributors."
"It supports desktop management, network management, and SD-WAN policies."
"I've worked with several SD-WAN solutions over the past few years, and the product felt more like an automated provisioning tool. Unlike solutions from Palo Alto or other SD-WANs orchestrated by a SaaS solution, Juniper Contrail SD-WAN already had the files and built their SaaS to orchestrate the configuration. Initially, you didn't do much, but then it started adding some routing capabilities."
"The configuration is complex and should be simplified."
"The internet service for enterprise bundle should be improved."
"We have found we have to restart the routers or reconfigured them a lot of the time, this issue should improve. The quality of the hardware needs to be more durable."
"Huawei Enterprise Routers can improve by enhancing their security. The software architecture and the operating system that runs on their router and the security capability are not as strong when compared to Cisco."
"If Huawei can use its own OEM processor, it could be a good step up for future use in the network devices."
"The only problem I see is configuration loss."
"The solution's technical support could be improved."
"The internet speed reduces throughout the day. The tool is not stable."
"The solution installs similarly to competitors. It is not more difficult or easier. However, it could be easier and take less time for the installation."
"The only issue was the switch we got, which was a little problematic because it was PoC equipment, and we had a little problem with that."
"The solution is expensive. Its support can be better."
"Implementing new branches or changing existing ones in Juniper Contrail SD-WAN wasn't as straightforward as with other solutions like Meraki SD-WAN, which is almost plug-and-play with its zero-touch provisioning. In Juniper Contrail SD-WAN, it was more challenging."
"The training could be better. When it comes to the demo dashboard capability, I feel like it could be much easier for our customers to use. Our last customer complained about this."
"Areas for improvement in the Juniper Contrail SD-WAN solution include the on-premises deployment process."
