We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access 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 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 solution is very simple, and it's very easily available."
"The technical support has been very good."
"I rate Fortinet support 10 out of 10. Their support is excellent and inexpensive. They respond immediately."
"The tool's VLAN feature is easy to understand. It was very good."
"The most valuable feature is that I can completely isolate devices that are compromising the network."
"My advice those using a firewall Fortigate is: use their APs because they work very well."
"The software is very stable."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"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."
"It's stable and reliable."
"I like the VLAN capabilities, and the Junos interface is easy to use."
"You willuse almost every feature on every switch to some degree because the utility is valuable."
"The performance is very good."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"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."
"It would also help if they lowered the cost of their service."
"The pricing could be improved, and it could be easier to configure."
"The solution has SD-WAN but it doesn't have SDN. This should be added."
"In the next release, I would like to see more outdoor products."
"It is always nice when something is cheaper."
"I feel that the product's stability is an area where improvements are required."
"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."
"I don't like the way it's managed."
"The upgrading of the system should be simplified and made faster."
"Wireless and monitoring definitely could be improved."
"Has a steep learning curve."
"Juniper's support could be much better and faster."
"In an upcoming release, Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve by having more microservices."
"The durability of the devices could be better."
"We would like it if there was more security added in future releases."
"Support could be improved."
