We performed a comparison between Arista Networks Platform and Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The solution has good load latency. They're the market leader in this aspect right now."
"The user-friendly policy manager lets us apply different controls for various user groups easily."
"The most valuable aspect of Arista Networks products is their ease of configuration, especially when compared to Cisco products. When we implement advanced features for data centers such as BGP EVPN and VXLAN, Arista's configuration process is similar to that of Cisco's process, but at the same time it is simply much easier, clearer, and more understandable."
"The most valuable features of the Arista Networks Platform are the EVPN and VXLAN. It has comprehensive features."
"The most valuable feature is the Linux shell, which is useful for troubleshooting or capturing traffic."
"It's an extremely reliable platform for the network switches we use."
"We find the CloudVision switching feature of this solution really useful."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"Both Juniper and Cisco switches are interoperable."
"Juniper supports all our connectivity infrastructure in our datacenter, supporting optimal availability and performance for services."
"What I like most about this solution is that it is secure."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Ethernet Switches is the public remote configuration option. If you make a mistake in the configuration you can roll it back to the previous configuration automatically after a set time frame increment, such as five or more minutes. In all the other competitors once you press to enter the new configuration is already written in. You cannot roll it back automatically."
"I like the VLAN capabilities, and the Junos interface is easy to use."
"This is a lower cost product with better features than the competition."
"Juniper is the best when it comes to the core layer."
"This solution is impeccable."
"The stability of this solution needs to be improved as part of the next upgrade."
"The solution’s pricing could be better."
"They need to enhance their code and their EOS. They need to improve some security features, and there are quite a number of bugs in their system. So, they need to work on that piece. In the next release, we need to have a modular feature. Instead of providing an integrated solution, they should go for something modular. They need to come up with modular highly scalable models. Even at the chassis layer, I want to see some improvement."
"The overall price of the Arista Networks Platform is expensive. It should be reduced."
"The solution needs to improve their product range."
"The solution is a bit pricey."
"The community is good but is not good enough. It still needs to grow more."
"The solution needs to accommodate new features."
"The upgrading of the system should be simplified and made faster."
"Some areas of technical support could be better."
"Support could be improved."
"EX switches take too long to boot when we restart them for maintenance. We need to minimize downtime. Another issue is the command line interface. Juniper's commands are different from other switches, so it's hard to remember them."
"Has a steep learning curve."
"The solution is a bit costly compared to other products."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve in the EX 2300 model because it does not support IPsec VPN. Only the models at 3400 or higher support it. Additionally, there is a need for support for Mac which is lacking. Some of their competitors, such as Cisco, support Mac."
"It would be nice to have a more available list of modules that you can get for this solution."
