Re: Cisco vs Juniper Security (OT)

Hi,

I would probably still use Cisco because cisco is my relegion ...
But I havent actually done research on the Juniper security suite ...
I heard they have some great products available and some better the
cisco ... but then again M am planning to do some more juniper stuff
after the CCIE voice and probably I can give a straght answer... but
for now i'll go with the cisco stuff because I don't know juniper
stuff well enough to judge ...
