[c-nsp] Cisco vs. Juniper

[Mackinnon, Ian]

Hi Jay,

In the past I have compared M7i with ASR1k

The major comparison seemed to be that for about the same sort of money
Cisco gave you a box with 4 Gig interfaces present whilst J gave you
one, and adding more was very expensive.

Throughputs would have been about the same, and one thing that bit us on
the Juniper side was you can't hope to use Netflow in a real environment
without an expensive services PIC.

All,

For various reasons, I have never really gotten into researching
Juniper products.  It seems time for me to start looking into it but
it seems daunting because their products are as vast as Cisco.
Knowing Cisco products and those little caveats, I am sure Juniper has
the same things with various products that you won't find until you
either start using it or read mailing lists for 3 years.

Anyway, the reason for posting to Cisco-NSP list is, not so much about
asking about Juniper products but those who have looked at both and
decided to go with Cisco, what made you go with Cisco?  We are not at
the level to use 7600/NX/CSR yet and more interested in ASA/ISR
equivalent for customer side use.

I know this is kind of general question but it would be helpful.

Thanks!

Jay Nakamura
