Pros
"Enterasys Ethernet Switches are stable.""This is a big telco switch with six slots."

More Enterasys Ethernet Switches [EOL] Pros →

"I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10 for scalability.""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 virtual Chassis feature for stacking is good in general, with high bandwidth for the link, which is good.""Juniper Ethernet Switches' most valuable feature is the Juniper-Mist cloud, which facilitates management of the switches and access points.""This is a lower cost product with better features than the competition.""The solution has a high level of network functionality.""There is no end to the ability to scale Juniper.""Juniper Ethernet Switches are high-end solutions."

Cons
"The initial setup could be made simpler.""Enterasys could provide better support, needs an improved user interface and improved performance."

More Enterasys Ethernet Switches [EOL] Cons →

"The price is in the intermediate range. It is not overly expensive, but also not cheap. It could stand improvement.""You need to make a few local configurations to work with the solution. We have faced issues with the tool's stability.""The price could be a bit lower.""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 updates are constantly breaking.""The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable.""Some areas of technical support could be better."
