We performed a comparison between Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches and Mellanox 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."Juniper supports all our connectivity infrastructure in our datacenter, supporting optimal availability and performance for services."
"The virtual Chassis feature for stacking is good in general, with high bandwidth for the link, which is good."
"The Juniper Ethernet switch feature I find the most valuable is reliability."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches are high-end solutions."
"Juniper is the best when it comes to the core layer."
"The Virtual Chassis, because you have a centralized administration of a set of switches which makes the operation more efficient."
"This is a lower cost product with better features than the competition."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"The tool is very configurable because it runs on a Linux operating system."
"From what I've been told, a valuable feature of Mellanox switches is they're quite user-friendly."
"It is a very easy-to-use product."
"The most valuable features of Mellanox Switches are the powerful hardware and the software is open. They're using Linux operating system. You can do and install many things, and it performs well."
"The most valuable features of Mellanox Switches are the size, power consumption, and the vast amount of features."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its functionality."
"Juniper needs to get their code up to par because it isn't stable enough for a leaf and spine design."
"Juniper should improve the support services provided to users, as it is one of its areas with certain shortcomings."
"The price is in the intermediate range. It is not overly expensive, but also not cheap. It could stand improvement."
"The solution is a bit costly compared to other products."
"It would be nice to have a more available list of modules that you can get for this solution."
"Jupiter Switches' configuration is a little difficult to understand."
"The upgrading of the system should be simplified and made faster."
"It was very difficult to get technical support, here in Egypt. There is no local support available."
"The configuration is a bit different from Cisco, and therefore, for me at least, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"Mellanox Switches were easier before Nvidia bought Mellanox and then their new version of the operating system changed. They started with Ennui, and now they only use Linux. If they returned to their previous CLI it would be a good option for starters. The new CLI is more difficult to use but more powerful than the older one. It has its advantages."
"The scalability is working fine at the moment, but there's always room for improvement. As of right now, I don't know of any improvements to suggest."
"Mellanox Switches could improve by adding some features that can make it easier for integrating the switches in some managing and monitoring platforms, such as Elastic or similar software for monitoring data with the data center in a more holistic way."
"If you compare this solution with Cisco, utilization in Cisco is more popular and it is more friendly."
