We performed a comparison between Brocade Ethernet Switches, D-Link Ethernet Switches, and Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"The most valuable feature of Brocade Ethernet Switches is the good range of access it provides."
"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."
"The technical support is good."
"The switches last for a very long time."
"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."
"There's a zone for each server and services in the storage."
"These switches are simple and easy to configure."
"It's plug-and-play. There is no configuration necessary."
"It is a stable solution."
"D-Link has a graphical interface that is easy to use. It is simple enough that our junior technicians can configure the switches."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution is easy to use."
"We use the solution for the network and ethernet connection."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is certainly scalable."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"Juniper is the best when it comes to the core layer."
"What I like most about this solution is that it is secure."
"I like that it's fairly easy to implement these ethernet switches."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The virtual Chassis feature for stacking is good in general, with high bandwidth for the link, which is good."
"This is a lower cost product with better features than the competition."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches need a better interface and centralized management."
"The solution could be more secure."
"There are some performance issues."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches could improve by having better compatibility with web management of older versions."
"No graphical interface."
"They need to enhance stability."
"The availability could be improved."
"The D-Link Ethernet Switches have to be replaced because they are difficult to manage and security is poor. They should add centralized manageability to make the solution better, it will allow administrators to better know what is happening on the network."
"The solution's web filtering feature could be improved."
"I'd like to see a central management system included as part of their license, not as a separate purchase. Currently, we have to manage switches independently. A central portal for managing all switches and providing visibility would be great."
"It should be more stable, and it should have good integration with the cloud. It should support configuration, supervision, and control through the cloud."
"They could be more stable. They were not as resistant as Cisco. After some time, some of them failed. This could be because we import quite a lot of products from different horizons, so there is no guarantee of quality. In Africa, these products don't always directly come from the manufacturer. We get these products from the Middle East or Asia. Therefore, you cannot be sure that the quality is exactly similar to what you have in Europe or America."
"It could be easier to scale on managed devices."
"The price is in the intermediate range. It is not overly expensive, but also not cheap. It could stand improvement."
"The Virtual Chassis Fabric is kind of complicated to troubleshoot sometimes. On the MPLS side, they're good — they're fine for the pseudo-wires and stuff—but they need more work on the LAN. It is difficult to troubleshoot their LAN technologies like Virtual Chassis."
"The management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking."
"The stability could be better. We find, for example, Cisco, to be more stable."
"The price could be a bit lower."
"They should integrate VPN functionality with the solution."
"The technical support from Juniper Ethernet Switches could be better."
