We performed a comparison between Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 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."The new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional."
"Enables direct access to clusters."
"The fibre ports that are 10 Gb capacity helped with the travel of a lot of regular as well as video data. Fibre can handle a lot more virtual data than copper twisted-pair, so we got a lot more data and a lot more traffic signals back through the fibre ports, faster, than with copper."
"The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything."
"It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest."
"We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches' best features are it's easy to deploy, manage, and maintain, with services coming through one vendor."
"This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night."
"The most valuable feature is the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)."
"Juniper Switches' best feature is its flexibility."
"Juniper EX Series is part of the Junos operating system and has a candidate configuration feature, which means changes are not immediately applied. It has a consistent command structure across all platforms and can handle both layer-three routing and layer-two switching. Additionally, the Junos OS offers virtualization options and support for multi-chassis and fabric switching. Overall, the Juniper EX Series is a versatile and powerful solution."
"The virtual Chassis feature for stacking is good in general, with high bandwidth for the link, which is good."
"There is no end to the ability to scale Juniper."
"The most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches are the simple configuration and ruggedness."
"It is stable."
"I like that it's fairly easy to implement these ethernet switches."
"I find the CLI hard to use. I wish we could do more in the GUI interface."
"technical support response time is sometimes very slow."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches would be improved if cloud-based technology was provided in the Gulf region."
"The network connection should be improved."
"In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed."
"I could see them possibly creating a more intuitive software. It's very user-friendly, but there are some things that aren't very intuitive when programming the switches."
"There needs to be better integration with the interface."
"The product would be better if it were completely compatible with other switching products."
"Jupiter Switches' configuration is a little difficult to understand."
"Stability could be better, especially during a reboot. We have had some issues recently with the software getting corrupt on reboot, which causes a lot of downtime."
"The upgrading of the system should be simplified and made faster."
"Some areas of technical support could be better."
"Juniper needs to get their code up to par because it isn't stable enough for a leaf and spine design."
"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."
"Its distribution channel and the ease of availability should be improved."
"Has a steep learning curve."
