We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiSwitch - Data Center 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 initial setup was simple."
"Fortinet FortiSwitch - Data Center's scalability is good."
"I like the solution's technical support. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The solution has made configuration and setup very, very easy."
"A valuable feature of FortiGate is its management integrity."
"What I like about the solution is that it can be accessed anywhere."
"Configurations between FortiGate and FortiSwitch have to link to each other. We need configuration. The configuration is not like a Cisco switch. It has a unique configuration."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to manage switches from one central point."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Junos operating system."
"The most valuable feature is the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)."
"The combination of hardware and software makes it a very good solution. It is a modern protocol that they have supported in the switches. The solution has good performance."
"It has features that allow us to go back to previous configurations."
"The ease of management through the command line interface is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Ethernet Switches is the public remote configuration option. If you make a mistake in the configuration you can roll it back to the previous configuration automatically after a set time frame increment, such as five or more minutes. In all the other competitors once you press to enter the new configuration is already written in. You cannot roll it back automatically."
"Juniper switches are very good with MPLS."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"Does not have as many features as other solutions, such as segmentation and analytics engines."
"The tool is not easy to use."
"They could improve availability and security by detecting and preventing switch attacks."
"The FortiSwitch product was initially quite complex."
"Managing the VLANs is an area where the solution lacks and needs to improve."
"When there are many switches being used, the speed declines noticeably."
"The solution could always benefit from more security. It's of critical importance to organizations right now."
"With IT products, there is always room for improvement."
"The technical support from Juniper Ethernet Switches 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."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking."
"Juniper needs to get their code up to par because it isn't stable enough for a leaf and spine design."
"They should integrate VPN functionality with the solution."
"Juniper EX Series could improve the process and ease of updating the software. It is a difficult process."
"The upgrading of the system should be simplified and made faster."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve in the EX 2300 model because it does not support IPsec VPN. Only the models at 3400 or higher support it. Additionally, there is a need for support for Mac which is lacking. Some of their competitors, such as Cisco, support Mac."
