Overall Satisfaction with Juniper SRX
We use the Juniper SRX platform to connect two buildings with metro ethernet between two buildings, including link failover, provide high reliability between sites. Our carriers drop LACP frames and most other layer-2 uplink aggregation protocols, so we used specific features on the Juniper SRX platform to implement connectivity testing on each end, with automatic route injection on failover.
- The Juniper SRX platform is easy to set up (out of the box).
- The support team responds to tickets quickly and with good solutions.
- My only real criticism of the product is that it's hard to figure out how to upgrade the firmware from the CLI via TFTP via the docs, but it works great once you get it sorted.
- A loss of a single metro ethernet carrier link between buildings is no longer a problem - a warehouse filled with idle pickers is expensive!
- Using single-purpose Juniper SRX devices on each end provides reliable connectivity independent of SDWAN or any other integrated devices, which helps avoid annoying finger-pointing
