- Juniper CLI is much better/clear for learning, even for entry level devices (part of features implemented at ASR devices). Such features like compare configuration, commit confirmed, config revisions, configuration divided by blocks - good point to start. It looks like Juniper engineers looked at Cisco and decided to complete all administrators requests (when Cisco prefer classical level approach).
- Similar CLI for all ent. devices (EX, J, SRX)
- HA clustering as i remember for all Junos devices (used mostly for SRX in my company). License not necessary, working like a charm.
- Firewall SRX with full routing capabilities working MUCH more scalable then ASA series
- less licensing price overhead. Price for its devices..
from cons:
- GUI is slow and ugly. You have to manage all policies from CLI, for IPS/IDS/UTM - that is not so good option.
- harder to debug (compared to Cisco) but more granular.
- with all features enable (UTM, IDP, IPS, etc) commit configuration can take several minutes...
