We performed a comparison between Broadcom StrataConnect and Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."They have some of the fastest speeds available."
"The most valuable feature is that the CLI is the same on all of the Juniper devices, including routers, switches, and firewalls."
"Juniper switches are smart and we have all the features that we want. You can rollback to the previous version if you make any mistake during configuration. This is not possible in Cisco."
"The solution has a high level of network functionality."
"It's stable and reliable."
"I like that it's fairly easy to implement these ethernet switches."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"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 is very valuable for SRX devices and we have found it very easy to configure."
"Broadcom's biggest issue is that they don't like to share information."
"The initial setup for Juniper switches is complex. Juniper has a new program that solves that problem a little bit, but it is expensive, so I don't use it. It is Juniper Mesh, Juniper Wire, or something like that where you plug in a switch, and it goes out to their cloud, finds a config, and brings it down. So, you can do everything cloud-based, but there is a fee for that. It is expensive, so I've never used it. If we were starting, we would try to do something like that. It is more for a large enterprise for managing hundreds of switches versus what we're doing. They should make its price more cost-effective or include it for new or smaller companies."
"They could improve the code, as there are some issues with it."
"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."
"I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems."
"The operating system could be better."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"The packet channelizing feature should be improved."
"All Juniper documentation is terrible."
