We performed a comparison between Aruba Switches and Juniper Ethernet Switches based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Aruba Switches comes out on top in this comparison. It is easy to deploy and, according to reviews, it is a more powerful and robust solution than Juniper Ethernet Switches.
"There is a limited lifetime warranty with the switches, so if we have any problems, the switch is replaced very quickly."
"The initial installation of Aruba Switches is easy."
"This solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the switches are reliable and replaced for free if anything goes wrong."
"There is a feature where you can use Bluetooth. You can set up a Bluetooth pairing connection and do the configuration through your phone."
"We didn't experience any stability or scalability issues until now with Aruba Switches"
"It is slightly more price effective than Juniper and it has a slightly larger range."
"We like the framework of fabric virtual switching."
"The campus switches and access switches are the most valuable and simple to deploy for Virtual Chassis."
"The most valuable feature is the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' best features are the high packer sorting and throughput, good uplink port capacity, and virtual setup."
"The scalability is excellent. It's one of the aspects of the solution that is quite good."
"I like the VLAN capabilities, and the Junos interface is easy to use."
"I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10 for scalability."
"The platform is very stable in terms of consistency and reliability."
"Juniper supports all our connectivity infrastructure in our datacenter, supporting optimal availability and performance for services."
"I don't think there is much to improve. I have seen that Aruba releases the patches on time, and it keeps upgrading the firmware. I have configured this device on an active basis. I don't think I have any bad reviews about the device's overall performance. In the next release, I would like Aruba to incorporate wireless controllers and build them into the chassis.If we can integrate a wireless module, we can have a segment dedicated to wireless infrastructure."
"Aruba does not have local support in our region of Kerala."
"It's an expensive product."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing because the Aruba Central licenses add a high cost."
"The port flexibility on the 54 series, specifically the 5406 for core usage, could be improved. When I want to upgrade to 10G, I don't have many options to choose from."
"If we compare Aruba and Cisco at the data center layer, Cisco has its Nexus switch. Aruba provides the new 10000 series, but it does not compare with the Nexus switch."
"Aruba's management suite has some room for improvement."
"The biggest issue right now is the delivery timeline. It takes too long to get the product."
"The price is in the intermediate range. It is not overly expensive, but also not cheap. It could stand improvement."
"The security features for the product should be more unified for the product regardless of the product model."
"Support could be improved."
"The management platforms for the network need improvement."
"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."
"The difficulty of the installation of Juniper Ethernet Switches depends on the environment it is being implemented in. It is fairly straightforward in terms of being able to source the technical information as we need it. However, this process could improve."
"Juniper's support could be much better and faster."
"It would be nice to have a more available list of modules that you can get for this solution."
