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 bandwidth and throughput are pretty good."
"What's best about Cisco Cloud Services Router is the support. It's excellent, and so far, no significant challenges. Another valuable feature of the product is easy integration with other products."
"It is definitely scalable. It can handle a lot more traffic and group work compared to any other products that I've evaluated. It could easily scale a lot more than what I'm doing right now."
"It connects all the accounts with the weaknesses, and this is what we were looking for. Also, it connects with the on-premise side."
"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."
"It handles stress very well. We have not reached a point of needing to worry about its capabilities."
"The routing service for NPLS called Layer 3-IP is fantastic."
"The most valuable feature of the Cisco Cloud Services Router is it can make your migrations smooth. For example, if you want to migrate to the cloud, but you don't want to change the IP. You can extend your VLAN from on-premise to the cloud without having to change the IP."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. We never had any issues."
"The most valuable features for us were related to our transition into MPLS technology, specifically for BPN and VPN services."
"The product is easy to use."
"Juniper Enterprise Routers has a CLR and it's more reliable and faster than others."
"The flexibility of the MPLS configuration is very good."
"Juniper Enterprise Routers is very flexible."
"I have found the most useful features to be layered VPNs, IPsec, VPLS, and firewall filters."
"The most valuable feature is the capacity of the throughput for the firewall."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"You can use this router in a scalable solution but it has its limitations."
"I would like the ability to moderate between devices on-premise to off-premise. This would be a vast improvement."
"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 to see better security, where there are more access controls and data confidentiality."
"Technical support could be better. I am missing a single pane of glass, where I can see all the connections, etc."
"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."
"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."
"It is too complex. It is not easy to set up, even with the documentation that they provided. It is a little confusing."
"If you are setting up a site-to-site VPN between a Juniper and Cisco device then you may encounter some issues."
"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."
"The price of this solution should be improved."
"The only thing that might need improvement would be the occasional downtime."
"Automation can also be improved."
"Finding market expertise is hard."
"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."
"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."
