Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."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."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"The technical support is good."
"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 switches last for a very long time."
"The scalability is excellent. It's one of the aspects of the solution that is quite good."
"The combination of hardware and software makes it a very good solution. It is a modern protocol that they have supported in the switches. The solution has good performance."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"The product is very helpful in troubleshooting."
"I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10 for scalability."
"It's stable and reliable."
"It is easy to configure, and there are three routing switches."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' most valuable feature is the Juniper-Mist cloud, which facilitates management of the switches and access points."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The GUI is easy to use."
"The interface management and the user access management is pretty good."
"A valuable aspect is its user-friendly configuration, making it accessible even for individuals with basic technical knowledge."
"The tool has impacted our company's network costs and productivity in a perfect manner and percentage-wise, I can say it is 120 percent."
"Some of the most valuable features are the simplicity, cost, usability, and power. As a package, it's extremely effective."
"It is easy to set up."
"There are a lot of features to control permitting or stopping packets in the network."
"No graphical interface."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches could improve by having better compatibility with web management of older versions."
"There are some performance issues."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches need a better interface and centralized management."
"The solution could be more secure."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"One potential drawback of the Juniper EX Series has been that those without experience using a command-line interface (CLI) may find it intimidating. However, Junos is working on improving this by offering tools, such as Juniper Mist with Wired Assurance and Apstra. Additionally, the graphical user interface (GUI) could be improved as it has been considered lackluster across the board in Junos."
"The initial setup of switches is not that simple."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"There are multiple areas of improvement in Juniper EX series switches. In terms of speed and pricing, while Juniper provides good quality services, some clients still find the price very high compared to other competitors. Also there is a need for certain features to be enhanced like clear our configuration process which will help to make Juniper switches more stronger. However, there are also multiple challenges including understanding and configuration of certain aspects difficult without assistance. Despite these kinds of challenges, there have been multiple solutions and huge potential of improvement in Juniper."
"The management platforms for the network need improvement."
"It was very difficult to get technical support, here in Egypt. There is no local support available."
"The upgrading of the system should be simplified and made faster."
"The stability of this solution should be improved."
"Technical support could be better."
"The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved."
"The user interface could improve and they should allow a license for IBS."
"There has to be more development in the OS. It's complex for this switch as compared to others like Cisco. For NetGear and Cisco, it's easy to adapt the VLAN concept but it should be simplified for MikroTik."
"If MikroTik had a marketing team and support team in India then it would be much easier for us to get the product, as well as support."
"Antispam and antivirus features should be included in the future."
"The packet filtering, user log data, and user access log could all be improved."
"Stuff that I'd like to be improved is really just training and documentation because I think the feature set is full. Another improvement I'd suggest is that their new, bigger releases should be a bit more stable."
