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 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."
"This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night."
"It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest."
"The new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional."
"We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements."
"Enables direct access to clusters."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches' best features are it's easy to deploy, manage, and maintain, with services coming through one vendor."
"The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything."
"The performance is very good."
"The Juniper Ethernet switch feature I find the most valuable is reliability."
"It has features that allow us to go back to previous configurations."
"The solution has a high level of network functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)."
"The product is very helpful in troubleshooting."
"The platform is very stable in terms of consistency and reliability."
"The thing that sets Juniper apart from most switches is that when you're in the command line and you make a configuration change, you just write the command and then say "commit confirmed minutes". For example, I'm configuring a switch here in my office, which is five miles away, and I say, "commit confirmed 5". If I can't get back to the interface within five minutes to be able to make sure the switch came up, it rolls back to the previous configuration. This way I do not get locked out, or the switch doesn't get messed up because of the incorrect configuration. That's an automatic feature, which is pretty slick. I haven't seen that feature with other vendors that I've worked with. That's probably my most favorite feature."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches would be improved if cloud-based technology was provided in the Gulf region."
"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."
"In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed."
"The network connection should be improved."
"The product would be better if it were completely compatible with other switching products."
"technical support response time is sometimes very slow."
"I find the CLI hard to use. I wish we could do more in the GUI interface."
"There needs to be better integration with the interface."
"More security could be provided, especially with the rising cyber-attacks in business organizations."
"The packet channelizing feature should be improved."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"Juniper should improve the support services provided to users, as it is one of its areas with certain shortcomings."
"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."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches is not cheap. The tool needs improvement in UI."
"Juniper's support could be much better and faster."
"The price is in the intermediate range. It is not overly expensive, but also not cheap. It could stand improvement."
