Comparison Results: Juniper Enterprise Routers has the winning edge in this comparison because it is more stable and scalable and because it has better service and support categories.
"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 stability of Juniper is better than Cisco's."
"I would say it is very user-friendly."
"It is very stable and scalable."
"The most valuable features for us were related to our transition into MPLS technology, specifically for BPN and VPN services."
"It is a very stable product."
"Users are able to easily configure the whole solution via simple data."
"The most valuable feature is the standard routing protocol."
"The solution is quite stable. We've found it to be very good. There aren't bugs, glitches, or crashes."
"It's pretty stable."
"We have not had any downtime with it. It has been a solid performer that way."
"I've never had any issues with the solution."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. You can typically set them up in about 30 minutes."
"The features of the equipment fit all the needs of the customers."
"This equipment is resilient and available at a good price."
"The tool's most valuable features are flexibility and configuration. It can be used in large setups."
"I like MikroTik's GUI. It's completely handy and easy to handle because of its GUI. Despite other brands like Cisco urging me to switch, I didn't because they don't have a GUI. This is the most comfortable thing in my project that anyone can use easily. It's effortless to maintain MikroTik routers because both screens make it very easy in GUI mode. You can easily interact with your hardware."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"Automation can also be improved."
"The web interface can be improved."
"Most IT equipment now has graphical interfaces, and there is a need for the Juniper routers to have a more intuitive web interface."
"The pricing is a bit too high."
"Juniper Enterprise Routers could improve by adding a graphical user interface(GUI). They do not have one. Most of our team has to have a background or expertise in Juniper. When compared to other solutions, they have a GUI. It will be easier for new team members to get familiar with, configure, or set up the router. Additionally, adding some monitoring tools would help us."
"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."
"While it is challenging to pinpoint specific areas for enhancement, there is room for better support and updates for Ansible."
"The price of this solution should be improved."
"I would like to see a cluster feature added, where multiple devices can be configured and managed as one. One is in a standby state while the other is active, and if one fails then the other takes over."
"The solution should improve the features of Wi-Fi 6 a little bit."
"The user interface is not very good."
"The solution needs to offer better documentation."
"The batch management could be improved."
"The initial setup could be easier."
"The user interface allows you to do a lot of things, but it is not user-friendly."
"The queuing functionality needs improvement. The initial setup could be simplified."
