I have been using this solution for the last ten years.
Its stability is one of the best in the world. I rate it nine out of ten.
It is scalable. In the past, few companies used Juniper, but now many companies use it to learn about future technologies. Back then, as a telecommunications partner, I helped them because they were lost. Now, they can sell to both small and large companies because they have more solutions in their current offerings. Previously, they only had service provider solutions. This is a significant change over fifteen years.
The support changes in India. One time it was okay, but the quality was not good. I want support to improve in terms of quality.
The initial setup was very straightforward. I rate it nine out of ten. It just depends on how big the project is. Sometimes, when we need to assign the existing one to the new one, it takes a month or a year.
If it's new, it takes hours.
It's not cheap. It is a competitive price. I don't know the exact licensing cost because the model of our project is a perpetual license, not a subscription.
I recommend Juniper because it is a code router that is easy to configure and manage.
Because I Like Xfinity services, it's a top Juniper model. They have many, like ET, XLE, and FTE. The XLE and MX are the best.
Juniper is one of the top routers in the world in terms of performance compared to Cisco, Nokia, and Huawei. I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.
