Leaders demonstrate balanced progress and effort in all execution and vision categories. Their actions raise the competitive bar for all products in the market, and they can change the course of the industry. To remain in the Leaders quadrant, vendors must excel in performance, scalability and protection, and must dominate in sales

  • Juniper delivers solid multiyear performance with strong sales and revenue in SSL VPNs and IPsec. In general, Juniper can sell more products at a higher incremental revenue than any other company in the market, creating an unchallenged disruptive sales advantage. Juniper's historical revenue is the best in the SSL VPN market and increased in 2008.
  • Juniper is the No. 1 competitive threat cited by all other peer vendors; in fact, all 12 other surveyed vendors named Juniper as a threat. This assessment has persisted for a number of years. Juniper sells in all geographies for all use cases, and two strong demands are selling SSL as a total replacement for IPsec and for extranet/contractor access, in addition to IPsec. The company appears on most shortlists discussed in Gartner client inquiries for medium to large businesses.
  • Year after year, Juniper's products earn a high satisfaction rating and few complaints, given its high degree of market penetration.
  • Juniper's road map includes integrated support for VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) streamed virtual desktops and further enhancements to its on-demand security tools. The company's vast market penetration, independent of any application delivery environment, should serve to raise future demand for virtual desktops faster than other vendors.
  • More than 17 major global service providers, including carriers and application service brokers, are offering Juniper-powered VPNs.
