We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access 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 integration with the whole platform, so there's one dashboard for everything. It is one of the most valuable features."
"It is easy to set up."
"I would rate the the ease of management and scalability within our network architecture an eight out of ten, with ten being best."
"The most valuable feature is that I can completely isolate devices that are compromising the network."
"The product is a total solution with the FortiGate, switch, and access point. It is integrated with FortiGate, allowing us to manage all the equipment through it. You can handle everything from a single point."
"Stability and scalability for this product are very good. Setup is easy and deployment can be completed within minutes. The technical support for Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access is good."
"The most valuable feature is the breakability after integration with the FortiGate firewall."
"It is a stable solution from the security front."
"The product is very helpful in troubleshooting."
"It's stable and reliable."
"Both Juniper and Cisco switches are interoperable."
"Juniper is the best when it comes to the core layer."
"The campus switches and access switches are the most valuable and simple to deploy for Virtual Chassis."
"It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"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."
"When we started using the solution, it was quite complex but then it became easier to use. It takes a while to get used to the interface."
"More integration would be helpful, especially since we sometimes have devices from other companies. Improved interoperability would be very beneficial."
"The product could use more security related features."
"I give the stability a seven out of ten because we have noticed when we hook up phones the switching of ELANs et cetera doesn't work as it should."
"The pricing could be improved, and it could be easier to configure."
"Currently issues with some of the switches and problems with the firmware."
"In the next release, I would like to see more outdoor products."
"It could be simpler but compared to the competition, it's not so bad."
"Some areas of technical support could be better."
"Wireless and monitoring definitely could be improved."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' tech support is hard to reach and slow."
"Juniper needs to get their code up to par because it isn't stable enough for a leaf and spine design."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking."
"The stability could be better. We find, for example, Cisco, to be more stable."
"Juniper EX Series could improve the process and ease of updating the software. It is a difficult process."
"They should integrate VPN functionality with the solution."
