We performed a comparison between Brocade Ethernet 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."There's a zone for each server and services in the storage."
"It has good integration with HPE Primera. They have smart zoning in which the administration is very easy. You don't have to do anything. Zoning and other things are done automatically if you just enable the smart zoning. That's one very good thing in HP."
"The most valuable feature of Brocade Ethernet Switches is the good range of access it provides."
"The technical support is good."
"The initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"The switches last for a very long time."
"The reliability of Brocade is the most valuable feature. The solution has been up and running for over ten years without any fail, fixes required, or breakdowns. It is a very strong piece of equipment."
"It is very valuable for SRX devices and we have found it very easy to configure."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"The product is flexible and easy to set up."
"The performance is very good."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"It has features that allow us to go back to previous configurations."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' most valuable feature is the Juniper-Mist cloud, which facilitates management of the switches and access points."
"The solution has a high level of network functionality."
"There are some performance issues."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches need a better interface and centralized management."
"The solution could be more secure."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches could improve by having better compatibility with web management of older versions."
"No graphical interface."
"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 price could be a bit lower."
"Some areas of technical support could be better."
"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."
"The interface could be better. It needs improvement."
"Has a steep learning curve."
"It would be nice to have a more available list of modules that you can get for this solution."
"You need to make a few local configurations to work with the solution. We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
