    I think the Juniper MX series is a fantastic option for data center connectivity and places that aren't very high touch, but need good reliability and uptime. These switches are a bit more difficult to use day to day, but their reliability and robustness make them a great fit for data centers.

    Pros
    Juniper Networks
    • It's a robust platform, very resilient. It handles large traffic flows well.
    • It's a flexible architecture, it can be configured with provider or enterprise options (or both!)
    • It has an excellent versioning system, simple commit/confirm/rollback procedures!

    Cons
    Juniper Networks
    • Storm Control needs to have a way to see what going on in the CLI in a more straight forward fashion
    • They need a GUI interface much like the old Nortel Network equipment.
    • Not the routers fault but support costs have increased.

    Usability
    Juniper Networks
    Working with Juniper switches can be a bit of a chore compared to other brands, like Cisco or HP. This makes me drop the rating for usability down to a 6, because for higher touch environments, I wouldn't recommend a Juniper. Outside of data center use cases, a Cisco switch would be a better option.

    We preferred Juniper over Cisco for our WAN/Internet routing needs for a number of reasons. First was the price, the Juniper offering was much more competitive than Cisco's. Secondly, was feature set, Juniper's implementation of routing protocols, routing tables, and forwarding options are better thought-out than Cisco's (not to mention Juniper's longstanding use of commit/confirm/rollback features, which Cisco has only started to use recently, and only on some of their products).

    Return on Investment
    Juniper Networks
    • Being dependable has allowed our network to stay running allowing for everyone to be productive.
    • Cost of the routers was very reasonable allowing us to keep our budget under control.
    • Support cost on our routers is not terribly high.
    • We link our routers to Cisco and Aruba with no issue. Interoperable give us flexibility of choice
