We performed a comparison between Aruba Switches and Juniper Ethernet Switches based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Aruba Switches comes out on top in this comparison. It is easy to deploy and, according to reviews, it is a more powerful and robust solution than Juniper Ethernet Switches.
"Aruba access points have a good transfer rate."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Switches is its performance."
"There is a limited lifetime warranty with the switches, so if we have any problems, the switch is replaced very quickly."
"Aruba Switches is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the lifetime warranty."
"These switches have a good performance, and they are also quickly configurable."
"Aruba offers better options when it comes to the area of scalability compared to what Cisco offers. Aruba has a better graphical user interface that helps users with the configuration part."
"The initial installation of Aruba Switches is easy."
"There is no end to the ability to scale Juniper."
"Both Juniper and Cisco switches are interoperable."
"It is a scalable solution."
"What I like most about this solution is that it is secure."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' best features are the high packer sorting and throughput, good uplink port capacity, and virtual setup."
"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."
"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."
"The scalability is excellent. It's one of the aspects of the solution that is quite good."
"It's an expensive product."
"We don't have visibility in Aruba Switches and we are thinking of switching to Fortiswitch because it has visibility."
"We had an issue with the hardware where one or two interfaces went down after one and a half years. This issue impacted only one or two interfaces, not the whole hardware."
"This product could be improved with additional security features."
"The dashboard could be improved, especially for the CX Switches. It would help to push scripts and configurations via an easy to use dashboard, one which would give us complete visibility of all of our switches in one place. Right now, we have more than one dashboard for Aruba. It would be nice if it was centralized."
"I have some security issues with Aruba Switches. I need to update the firmware and then the problems might go away."
"We've had issues with availability."
"My experience with Aruba's account manager hasn't been the greatest."
"The management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."
"The operating system could be better."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking."
"Wireless and monitoring definitely could be improved."
"The upgrading of the system should be simplified and made faster."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' operating systems get corrupted when the power fails. They have to improve this issue. I may have to use a newer version."
"We are not very pleased with their performance."
"The stability could be better. We find, for example, Cisco, to be more stable."
