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 most valuable feature of this product is its simplicity."
"Integration is good, as well as price and technical support."
"The product is a total solution with the FortiGate, switch, and access point. It is integrated with FortiGate, allowing us to manage all the equipment through it. You can handle everything from a single point."
"The software is very stable."
"I can say that the product is easy to use...The initial setup of the product was easy."
"What I actually use in this deployment are Forti APs (Fortinet Access Points). So, I can see all my office infrastructure from a single console, which is handy. One FortiGate, one FortiSwitch, and five access points, everything under good control. It's really nice to see it all together like this."
"The tool's setup was very easy."
"It is a stable solution from the security front."
"The most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches are the simple configuration and ruggedness."
"The solution has a high level of network functionality."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' best features are the high packer sorting and throughput, good uplink port capacity, and virtual setup."
"The combination of hardware and software makes it a very good solution. It is a modern protocol that they have supported in the switches. The solution has good performance."
"Juniper supports all our connectivity infrastructure in our datacenter, supporting optimal availability and performance for services."
"The ease of management through the command line interface is very good."
"What I like most about this solution is that it is secure."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' most valuable feature is the Juniper-Mist cloud, which facilitates management of the switches and access points."
"FortiSwitch requires periodic firmware updates. It can be a little difficult because the switches aren't connected to the internet, so you cannot upgrade the firmware remotely. You need to go to the site and do it manually because it's a closed network."
"It would also help if they lowered the cost of their service."
"The solution has SD-WAN but it doesn't have SDN. This should be added."
"In Fortinet, the packet reconstruction in the SD-WAN solution needs a little bit of improvement. When it comes to the Secure Access to the switches or the mix of Fortinet solution, the very small ones do not have the capability to use fiber cables. So, the small FortiGates have to work with the copper cables and cannot use fiber cables. Even though they have the capacity and throughput on all technical connectors, they don't have the interfaces, which is one of the good things with Cisco. They just add models to it. You buy the independent models, and you add them."
"They could provide integration with Fortinet Authenticator."
"The range of products could improve from Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access."
"The installation is not difficult. However, some features have to be activated from the CLI."
"The reporting capabilities should be included."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches is not cheap. The tool needs improvement in UI."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches lack to offer the latest management tools."
"They should integrate VPN functionality with the solution."
"Its distribution channel and the ease of availability should be improved."
"Wireless and monitoring definitely could be improved."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"The security features for the product should be more unified for the product regardless of the product model."
"Support could be improved."
