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."HPE is very reliable because it has a lifetime warranty, so the switches didn't give us any problems."
"The product's stacking technology is stable and works well."
"The most valuable feature is the IRF."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the interface and configuration. It's very easy to use."
"We get a lifetime warranty for the solution so whenever the switches get faulty, you can get a replacement."
"The solution is scalable."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"I'm a power user, so reliability is crucial. The HPE equipment hasn't failed on me, unlike some other brands like Huawei, which I find more sensitive."
"The solution is certainly scalable."
"The Juniper EX Series's most valuable feature is its robustness. Additionally, it is easy to use and great GUI."
"Juniper supports all our connectivity infrastructure in our datacenter, supporting optimal availability and performance for services."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The platform is very stable in terms of consistency and reliability."
"The most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches are the simple configuration and ruggedness."
"The setup phase was straightforward."
"It is stable."
"We'd like better support for situations where we need troubleshooting."
"HPE Ethernet Switches must ensure that the updates and patching are done regularly. When we have new software updates, we can resolve issues quickly."
"Installation could be made more secure."
". There is room for improvement in pricing. One box shouldn't require additional installations. We need a package deal with licenses that are usable for different tasks. Right now, we need a license for every additional feature, which adds up."
"The next release would benefit from adding a central management that could be deployable on premise and allow you to see the layout of topology."
"They should release more updates for the solution."
"The ability to stack, as well as a unified operating system, would be extremely beneficial."
"The security of the solution always has room for improvement."
"Juniper EX Series could improve the process and ease of updating the software. It is a difficult process."
"Stability could be better, especially during a reboot. We have had some issues recently with the software getting corrupt on reboot, which causes a lot of downtime."
"We are undergoing a migration to software-defined networking. Different vendors have to integrate with each other and we are not seeing this type of capability within Juniper. We are getting left behind in this technology trend by staying with this solution. Juniper is also losing a bit of market share because of this."
"The durability of the devices could be better."
"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."
"I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems."
"The upgrading of the system should be simplified and made faster."
"Juniper should improve the support services provided to users, as it is one of its areas with certain shortcomings."
