Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I have found the solution has great standards and compatibility across all vendors.""For a home or small business, the solution offers a very good web interface.""The scalability is great.""I have found their security features the most valuable. These security features are supported on most of the other features. Similarly, the protocols and the standards are supported on other features, such as the stacking feature, the availability feature, internet channel, link application, and protocols. There are so many features on these features.""I like the firewall. It integrates with AWS. I can use the Cisco product on an AWS server.""The most valuable features are uptime and stability.""Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches have a good interface, and the documentation is detailed.""The most valuable feature is stability."

"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 solution has a high level of network functionality.""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.""There is no end to the ability to scale Juniper.""It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten.""Juniper switches are very good with MPLS.""It is a scalable solution.""You willuse almost every feature on every switch to some degree because the utility is valuable."

Cons
"It would be ideal if they could do more configurations and offer more flexibility. Right now, it's not flexible at all.""They just need to simplify the learning curve.""It's an old tool that needs to be more competitive with other solutions that are available on the market such as HP, or Dell.""The sales support could improve, they are not supplying the solution on time. For some projects, we have had to wait many months.""On a scale of one to ten, with one being the worst and ten being the best, I rate the tool's scalability as seven since there are some limitations.""It would be nice if they can provide support for local authentication protocol, which is a security feature. It is not supported right now. They already support security features, so adding some local authentication features would be very nice. Currently, they only support external databases for the stuff for the authentication feature. If they could improve the existing feature or add a feature to support local databases, local username, password authentication, I think it would be very amazing.""The product must be made cloud-based.""If possible, we'd like to see support in our country, but it will be difficult as we are located in Iran."

"I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems.""In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking.""Jupiter Switches' configuration is a little difficult to understand.""The initial setup of switches is not that simple.""Its distribution channel and the ease of availability should be improved.""Juniper Ethernet Switches would be improved by upgrading the uplink port in EX2300 categories service from 10G to 25G.""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.""The configuration could be made simpler."
