We performed a comparison between HPE Ethernet Switches 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 product's stacking technology is stable and works well."
"These switches are very stable, to date I have not experienced any issues."
"The scalability is very good."
"The initial setup of this solution is easy."
"The most valuable product is the unmanaged HP switch."
"It's fairly lightweight, they don't require a lot of maintenance."
"HPE Ethernet Switches have a lifetime warranty. I am using an old version of the solution, but I have heard the new models have incorporated a lot of new features, such as remote setup."
"It is a stable product."
"It has features that allow us to go back to previous configurations."
"Juniper switches are smart and we have all the features that we want. You can rollback to the previous version if you make any mistake during configuration. This is not possible in Cisco."
"The solution is certainly scalable."
"One of the most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches is they are rugged."
"The product is flexible and easy to set up."
"Junos OS is extremely flexible and easy to pick up."
"The Juniper Ethernet switch feature I find the most valuable is reliability."
"One of the nicest things about Juniper switches is they work well with other vendor products. When you have to go into a situation where other vendor switches are present, you can make it work."
"The pricing could be lowered."
"I would also like to see a more centralized private management console for the series of devices. Most solutions are adopting centralized cloud-based management, but my client base believes cloud solutions are too insecure. You've got a few dozen switches, so it would be nice to have the ability to manage them on a "single pane of glass.""
"Authentication and other security features are not easily satisfied using the lower-end switches."
"The management of the tool must be improved."
"The pricing could be better."
"In the next release, I would like to see them include more features like the Aruba solution, to have more possibilities concerning the software design."
"They should have more control tools for controlling the bandwidth."
"We'd like better support for situations where we need troubleshooting."
"The stability of this solution should be improved."
"The operating system, Junos OS, often has bugs which forces rollbacks or additional upgrades to resolve."
"You need to make a few local configurations to work with the solution. We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"We are undergoing a migration to software-defined networking. Different vendors have to integrate with each other and we are not seeing this type of capability within Juniper. We are getting left behind in this technology trend by staying with this solution. Juniper is also losing a bit of market share because of this."
"Its distribution channel and the ease of availability should be improved."
"More security could be provided, especially with the rising cyber-attacks in business organizations."
"Stability could be better, especially during a reboot. We have had some issues recently with the software getting corrupt on reboot, which causes a lot of downtime."
"The Virtual Chassis Fabric is kind of complicated to troubleshoot sometimes. On the MPLS side, they're good — they're fine for the pseudo-wires and stuff—but they need more work on the LAN. It is difficult to troubleshoot their LAN technologies like Virtual Chassis."
