We performed a comparison between Arista Networks Platform 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."We find the CloudVision switching feature of this solution really useful."
"It's an extremely reliable platform for the network switches we use."
"The most valuable feature is the Linux shell, which is useful for troubleshooting or capturing traffic."
"The most valuable features of the Arista Networks Platform are the EVPN and VXLAN. It has comprehensive features."
"It is very stable. It has good hardware and very stable code. It provides good value for its price. They are a very lean type of organization, so they are very responsive, and they're able to focus more on their platform versus having multiple products out there."
"The user-friendly policy manager lets us apply different controls for various user groups easily."
"The most valuable aspect of Arista Networks products is their ease of configuration, especially when compared to Cisco products. When we implement advanced features for data centers such as BGP EVPN and VXLAN, Arista's configuration process is similar to that of Cisco's process, but at the same time it is simply much easier, clearer, and more understandable."
"What we like most is its performance to price ratio."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"Juniper supports all our connectivity infrastructure in our datacenter, supporting optimal availability and performance for services."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The virtual Chassis feature for stacking is good in general, with high bandwidth for the link, which is good."
"The feature I like the most is the ability to reword changes before committing to the change. We can always reword changes in 10 minutes if they don't work."
"It has features that allow us to go back to previous configurations."
"I like the simplicity of it."
"The Juniper EX Series's most valuable feature is its robustness. Additionally, it is easy to use and great GUI."
"The solution needs to improve their product range."
"They should have a more stable code."
"The product fails to offer functions related to cloud orchestration, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"The solution is a bit pricey."
"A smoother transition between ISPs during failover would improve the user experience by reducing unnecessary notifications and interruptions."
"The solution needs to accommodate new features."
"I want the solution to include a unified controller."
"Arista Networks Platform should focus on improving the compatibility or integration with Cisco solutions."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' tech support is hard to reach and slow."
"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 management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."
"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 initial setup of switches is not that simple."
"Juniper should improve the support services provided to users, as it is one of its areas with certain shortcomings."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches lack to offer the latest management tools."
"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."
