| Founder and CEO at OogyNW Consultancy | 4.5 | I use Juniper AppFormix for hosting telecom workloads and cloud management, appreciating its easy scaling. However, its hybrid cloud performance and third-party integration need improvement. It saved time during our initial cloud migration, despite some initial ramp-up time. |
| Hardware and Network Manager with 201-500 employees | 4.5 | I use Jupiter for internet control; it's stable, scalable, with good support and easy setup. While a good solution, its high yearly licensing cost in my country is a significant drawback for me. |
It's for hosting the telecom workloads. It is for cloud management.
This solution has positively impacted real-time analytics and improved our system's performance.
Although, it wasn't very much telecom customized analytics. It was pretty much general for all the things. I had some other expectations, some more expectations. I couldn't use all the features because all the features were not useful to me.
It was very useful in terms of having the collective analytics. And the cloud overhead using this is still much lesser than the competitors.
In terms of latency, I found it has a slight edge compared to other competitors.
I like the scaling part. It's pretty easy to scale up based on the load.
For a hybrid cloud area, I see some issues when on the hybrid cloud; you want to use this kind of solution. It doesn't work great everywhere. If it's a complete solution from them, then it's very great. But when it's a hybrid cloud I'm trying to make, then I find some issues here.
Moreover, my expectations were probably slightly more for the third-party tool integration; for example, regarding the analytics, I had some different tools. So, integration was not as good as I was expecting. So, analytics, configuration tool I was not really happy.
So, there is room for improvement in context with integration with existing tools in our network environment.
I have been using it for three years now.
It's a stable product. I didn't find any issues with regard to stability.
I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.
I would rate the scalability on a scale of ten to a fairly nine.
Once the cloud was established, I was given the contract for even the cloud management itself. So, I didn't find any issues.
However there was one time when I wanted to do some upgrade there, which was especially with the OS upgrade. They took some time there, but it wasn't urgent for me, so I didn't mind.
So some response time, took a while.
Neutral
It was not difficult, though the setup was done by the Juniper team itself, so they didn't take a lot of time.
For deployment, it wasn't the bottleneck for me. When I was doing the rollout, it was always taking less time than the WAN workloads for me. So, they never got exposed in terms of the deployment time because they were taking less time than the other components' deployment.
I was moving some workload for the first time to the cloud, and so it definitely saved time, especially the software upgrade we chose to take some time and more manual effort, all of which has been reduced significantly.
Initially, ramping up time was there, but I think that is a one-time effort.
Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.
I would recommend to make it more telco-customized in a way. So, they charge a lot. But most of the features we don't use in this solution.
I use Jupiter to control my internet. For example, for URL and host blocking.
I want the solution to be able to improve my cache and firewall IPS and IPSI rules.
The solution is stable.
Scalability is good for a big network. I have about 200 users on my network. Three of those are admins. We also have two help desks.
The solution's technical support is good.
Before choosing this solution, I used Astaro but it didn't work well in my country.
The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment took about a week. We only needed two people for deployment. For maintenance, you need one, maybe two people.
I used an integrator for implementation.
In enterprise companies, network cost is very important. Juniper is a high cost but it's a good enterprise solution for my enterprise network. This solution has a yearly licensing. In my country, it's really expensive. With Juniper, there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fee.
It's a really good solution.
I would give the solution a 9 out of 10. I would have given it a 10, but the solution is expensive.
