We performed a comparison between HPE Ethernet Switches 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 graphical userface is very good and quite easy to run with."
"The product's stacking technology is stable and works well."
"The most valuable product is the unmanaged HP switch."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"HPE is very reliable because it has a lifetime warranty, so the switches didn't give us any problems."
"It is a scalable solution."
"These are the basic access layer switches used for connectivity among users, and they are cost-effective."
"HPE Ethernet Switches are scalable, and their software is also quite sturdy."
"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 GUI interface distinguishes it from other vendors and makes it easy to operate."
"The performance is very good."
"There is no end to the ability to scale Juniper."
"The most valuable feature is switching on our network."
"It has features that allow us to go back to previous configurations."
"Juniper EX Series is part of the Junos operating system and has a candidate configuration feature, which means changes are not immediately applied. It has a consistent command structure across all platforms and can handle both layer-three routing and layer-two switching. Additionally, the Junos OS offers virtualization options and support for multi-chassis and fabric switching. Overall, the Juniper EX Series is a versatile and powerful solution."
"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."
"We have had some rare occasions with glitches, so the stability can be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see them include more features like the Aruba solution, to have more possibilities concerning the software design."
"The solution would be easier to set up if its GUI could improve or if it had a wizard."
"There is some improvement needed for the power supply of the solution."
"They should have more control tools for controlling the bandwidth."
"Installation could be made more secure."
"We haven't had any issues with this switch in the past 10 years. That's the reason we're still keeping them alive."
"I would also like to see a more centralized private management console for the series of devices. Most solutions are adopting centralized cloud-based management, but my client base believes cloud solutions are too insecure. You've got a few dozen switches, so it would be nice to have the ability to manage them on a "single pane of glass.""
"We would like it if there was more security added in future releases."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' tech support is hard to reach and slow."
"The operating system, Junos OS, often has bugs which forces rollbacks or additional upgrades to resolve."
"Some areas of technical support could be better."
"The configuration could be made simpler."
"More security could be provided, especially with the rising cyber-attacks in business organizations."
"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."
"The packet channelizing feature should be improved."
