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."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."
"The best part is the single operating system that they have. Regardless of your model, it's the same operating system functioning across the board, which means you don't have to worry about backward compatibilities between your older switches and the new ones that you deploy."
"Arista Networks Platform is comfortable, easy to deploy, and easy to manage, with non-blocking technology. Additionally, it has a useful CloudVision platform and automation capabilities."
"The solution has good load latency. They're the market leader in this aspect right now."
"The solution is very stable."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"Arista Networks Platform offers straightforward deployment, and has good features. Support for the platform is also good."
"The user-friendly policy manager lets us apply different controls for various user groups easily."
"It's pretty good as compared to other vendors."
"The virtual Chassis feature for stacking is good in general, with high bandwidth for the link, which is good."
"The campus switches and access switches are the most valuable and simple to deploy for Virtual Chassis."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"It is stable."
"This is a lower cost product with better features than the competition."
"I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10 for scalability."
"The performance is very good."
"Arista Networks Platform should focus on improving the compatibility or integration with Cisco solutions."
"Its price can be better."
"They should have a more stable code."
"The solution’s pricing could be better."
"An area for improvement in Arista Networks Platform is its integration, e.g. it needs to have more integration with its new products. Incorporating more security and cloud is also another area for improvement in the platform."
"The intent-based networking management, together with the provider of these solutions that are already free, would be beneficial."
"The solution is quite expensive. One of the negative aspects of it is the pricing."
"A smoother transition between ISPs during failover would improve the user experience by reducing unnecessary notifications and interruptions."
"I have found the scalability could be improved in the version I was using."
"It was very difficult to get technical support, here in Egypt. There is no local support available."
"The difficulty of the installation of Juniper Ethernet Switches depends on the environment it is being implemented in. It is fairly straightforward in terms of being able to source the technical information as we need it. However, this process could improve."
"The security features for the product should be more unified for the product regardless of the product model."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches would be improved by upgrading the uplink port in EX2300 categories service from 10G to 25G."
"Their web GUI interface needs to be a lot better, especially when compared to HP. The command line is good, but you have to know how to get around it. The GUI is clunky and very slow."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches lack to offer the latest management tools."
"The management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."
