We performed a comparison between Broadcom StrataDNX and Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."Easy to integrate with any of the other hardware platforms."
"The good thing about the StrataDNX is that the Broadcom family is very interchangeable, so they work well with different optical transceivers."
"I like the simplicity of it."
"The most valuable feature is that the CLI is the same on all of the Juniper devices, including routers, switches, and firewalls."
"Junos OS is extremely flexible and easy to pick up."
"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."
"The thing that sets Juniper apart from most switches is that when you're in the command line and you make a configuration change, you just write the command and then say "commit confirmed minutes". For example, I'm configuring a switch here in my office, which is five miles away, and I say, "commit confirmed 5". If I can't get back to the interface within five minutes to be able to make sure the switch came up, it rolls back to the previous configuration. This way I do not get locked out, or the switch doesn't get messed up because of the incorrect configuration. That's an automatic feature, which is pretty slick. I haven't seen that feature with other vendors that I've worked with. That's probably my most favorite feature."
"There is no end to the ability to scale Juniper."
"You willuse almost every feature on every switch to some degree because the utility is valuable."
"The campus switches and access switches are the most valuable and simple to deploy for Virtual Chassis."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The number of surfaces that can be handled by the chipset could be increased."
"Juniper EX Series could improve the process and ease of updating the software. It is a difficult process."
"More security could be provided, especially with the rising cyber-attacks in business organizations."
"Has a steep learning curve."
"Juniper should improve the support services provided to users, as it is one of its areas with certain shortcomings."
"The updates are constantly breaking."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches lack to offer the latest management tools."
