Comparison Results: ExtremeRouting is praised for its simple and easy setup process, while the initial setup for Juniper MX Series Routers can vary. ExtremeRouting offers valuable features like extreme stacking and FabricOS, whereas Juniper MX Series Routers are highly regarded for their security, ease of use, flexibility, reliability, and performance. ExtremeRouting could benefit from incorporating the latest protocols and has subpar customer service. On the other hand, Juniper MX Series Routers could improve through better training and enhancements in reliability and functionality. Both products have reasonable pricing, with Juniper MX Series Routers being considered less expensive than some competitors.
"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."
"What I like about Extreme Routing is its impressive performance."
"The routing protocol is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Looking at the robustness, I do not know whether it would be carrier grade – let's say for hundreds of thousands of users – but it certainly doesn't balk at 10,000 users or less."
"Provides a good redundancy technique."
"It is very easy to set up."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Juniper Enterprise Routers is very flexible."
"Juniper's custom Trio chipset drives their MX routers, offering superior performance. Juniper's design separates the control plane and the forwarding plane, which is a key aspect of their architecture. This separation provides high throughput, maintaining line-rate performance across the MX platform."
"The performance is good."
"The stability of Juniper is better than Cisco's."
"Users are able to easily configure the whole solution via simple data."
"It's one of the more stable routers."
"On the SRX, the firewall is very easy to configure, especially when you want to filter out traffic."
"The solution is stable."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"Some of the latest protocols are unavailable."
"One area for improvement with Extreme Routing is the need for more accessible and comprehensive training."
"My advice for those looking into ExtremeRouting is: right now all switch manufacturers are backed up for months. If you're looking to implement quickly, I would say shop around a bit because it might be difficult."
"It's not evolving as quickly as we would like it to."
"The support, software resiliency, and software stability are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution is far too unstable. It's completely unreliable."
"Juniper must publish more information about Juniper MX Series Routers."
"Automation can also be improved."
"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 only thing that might need improvement would be the occasional downtime."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"It is not scalable, unfortunately."
"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."
"One thing that the product can do better is clustering. Rather than just having two of them, it would help if there was one cluster to extend to more notes in the cluster itself."
