"The durability of the devices could be better."
"Juniper needs to get their code up to par because it isn't stable enough for a leaf and spine design."
"The operating system could be better."
"All Juniper documentation is terrible."
"The stability could be better. We find, for example, Cisco, to be more stable."
"There are multiple areas of improvement in Juniper EX series switches. In terms of speed and pricing, while Juniper provides good quality services, some clients still find the price very high compared to other competitors. Also there is a need for certain features to be enhanced like clear our configuration process which will help to make Juniper switches more stronger. However, there are also multiple challenges including understanding and configuration of certain aspects difficult without assistance. Despite these kinds of challenges, there have been multiple solutions and huge potential of improvement in Juniper."
"Their web GUI interface needs to be a lot better, especially when compared to HP. The command line is good, but you have to know how to get around it. The GUI is clunky and very slow."
"In an upcoming release, Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve by having more microservices."
