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."
"The technical support is good."
"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."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"The switches last for a very long time."
"The initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"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 has features that allow us to go back to previous configurations."
"Juniper is the best when it comes to the core layer."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Junos operating system."
"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 most valuable feature is switching on our network."
"The solution is certainly scalable."
"The virtual Chassis feature for stacking is good in general, with high bandwidth for the link, which is good."
"The setup phase was straightforward."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches need a better interface and centralized management."
"No graphical interface."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches could improve by having better compatibility with web management of older versions."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"The solution could be more secure."
"There are some performance issues."
"I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems."
"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."
"We are undergoing a migration to software-defined networking. Different vendors have to integrate with each other and we are not seeing this type of capability within Juniper. We are getting left behind in this technology trend by staying with this solution. Juniper is also losing a bit of market share because of this."
"All Juniper documentation is terrible."
"We need to start seeing some kind of AI to assist with some of what we really want to accomplish from a policy standpoint to achieve better efficiency."
"Support could be improved."
"Has a steep learning curve."
"The management platforms for the network need improvement."
