We performed a comparison between Aruba Switches and Juniper Ethernet Switches based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Aruba Switches comes out on top in this comparison. It is easy to deploy and, according to reviews, it is a more powerful and robust solution than Juniper Ethernet Switches.
"Licensing costs are competitive with other solutions on the market."
"Aruba access points have a good transfer rate."
"Aruba Switches are definitely stable."
"The most valuable features are the access point, fire control for clients, majority control, platform control in SSIGF, WiFi networking, and area monitoring."
"These switches have a good performance, and they are also quickly configurable."
"The Aruba care support and the lifetime warranty are very valuable aspects."
"Aruba's SameNet platform allows for a seamless transition from the data center to access switches, unlike Cisco, which has different operating systems for each."
"a value-for-money product and comparatively a very reasonable price compared to competitors like SAP or IBM."
"The Juniper EX Series's most valuable feature is its robustness. Additionally, it is easy to use and great GUI."
"The most valuable feature is that the CLI is the same on all of the Juniper devices, including routers, switches, and firewalls."
"The solution is certainly scalable."
"Juniper is the best when it comes to the core layer."
"This is a lower cost product with better features than the competition."
"The virtual Chassis feature for stacking is good in general, with high bandwidth for the link, which is good."
"Junos OS is extremely flexible and easy to pick up."
"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 think that the performance is getting better but they need to have more powerful switches on the market so that they can capture medium and large businesses."
"It would be better and easier for us to buy if the price were reduced."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and the dashboard could be improved."
"Aruba does not have local support in our region of Kerala."
"The log viewer should be improved."
"If you work for a small business, then Cisco would be best."
"I have some security issues with Aruba Switches. I need to update the firmware and then the problems might go away."
"This product could be improved with additional security features."
"The management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."
"It would be nice to have a more available list of modules that you can get for this solution."
"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."
"We are not very pleased with their performance."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches would be improved by upgrading the uplink port in EX2300 categories service from 10G to 25G."
"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."
"Juniper EX Series could improve the process and ease of updating the software. It is a difficult process."
"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."
