We performed a comparison between 3Com H3C 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 installation is quite straightforward."
"The reliability of the solution has been the best feature."
"They are easy to use, they are cheaper, and it's a trusted brand."
"They're straightforward and stable."
"The hardware side is a very big advantage. We use it 24/7 and we haven't had any problems so far with the switches."
"The product is very helpful in troubleshooting."
"Juniper Switches' best feature is its flexibility."
"The Virtual Chassis, because you have a centralized administration of a set of switches which makes the operation more efficient."
"Juniper EX Series is part of the Junos operating system and has a candidate configuration feature, which means changes are not immediately applied. It has a consistent command structure across all platforms and can handle both layer-three routing and layer-two switching. Additionally, the Junos OS offers virtualization options and support for multi-chassis and fabric switching. Overall, the Juniper EX Series is a versatile and powerful solution."
"It is very valuable for SRX devices and we have found it very easy to configure."
"We have multiple cases of the customers trying to upgrade their network from Cisco, Aruba and Huawei to Juniper. They do this basically because they want to modernise their network and have an increased capacity. This shift improves their functionality because the Juniper Ethernet switches are more advanced. We provide them with assistance to configure switches, access points and Wi-Fi."
"The most valuable feature is that Juniper is multiple kernels, so there's isolation, which means you won't get a process that runs away, creating problems across the whole platform."
"It is easy to configure, and there are three routing switches."
"When we try to do configuration changes sometimes it malfunctions."
"The configuration of 3Com H3C Switches could be better."
"I think there's nothing that needs to be improved because the company is no longer in existence."
"The cost and the integration with other solutions could be better."
"The technical support services need improvement in terms of communication."
"They should integrate VPN functionality with the solution."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' operating systems get corrupted when the power fails. They have to improve this issue. I may have to use a newer version."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"Its distribution channel and the ease of availability should be improved."
"The management platforms for the network need improvement."
"I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems."
"The initial setup for Juniper switches is complex. Juniper has a new program that solves that problem a little bit, but it is expensive, so I don't use it. It is Juniper Mesh, Juniper Wire, or something like that where you plug in a switch, and it goes out to their cloud, finds a config, and brings it down. So, you can do everything cloud-based, but there is a fee for that. It is expensive, so I've never used it. If we were starting, we would try to do something like that. It is more for a large enterprise for managing hundreds of switches versus what we're doing. They should make its price more cost-effective or include it for new or smaller companies."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking."
