Juniper went down for the last few years because of no updates in the market, and Cisco took over, wherein Juniper recently has come back with new updates like Juniper Flex Licensing, and this is one of the best models of Juniper and now in utmost competition with Cisco.

So not everyone is in need of a smart AI checking their network metrics looking for issues before they happen or finding and alerting on problems that the network staff may not have noticed, but if you have the budget for it, it could be a huge time saver for your whole department.

Whether Juniper Flex Licensing is suited or not well totally depends on how network is consumed. I believe it is well suited for Data Centres, service providers, and security. As with Juniper Flex Licensing, you can right size the investments according to the needs of the company. I dont think it is suited for SME's.

Usability
Cisco DNA Analytics and Assurance definitely has a steep learning curve. While it's had an upgrade to its onboarding, it's still a very technically heavy application that requires knowledge of Cisco networking and terminology. I think keeping that in mind helps with the expectations, but anyone can use the application with a little training and experience.
