We performed a comparison between Huawei 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.
"They last quite a while."
"The solution is stable and the performance is good."
"They are very user-friendly. Handling Huawei is very easy."
"Huawei Ethernet Switches excel in compatibility with other brands, offering features to ensure seamless communication with existing protocols. This allows them to work alongside switches from different manufacturers, such as Cisco, by making adjustments on both ends for compatibility."
"The Huawei switches are stable, easy to set up, and cheap."
"Huawei Ethernet Switches are functional. It has a good response to resolve issues."
"Scalability isn't an issue."
"Huawei Ethernet Switches are very stable."
"Junos OS is extremely flexible and easy to pick up."
"It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"The most valuable feature is that the CLI is the same on all of the Juniper devices, including routers, switches, and firewalls."
"The scalability is excellent. It's one of the aspects of the solution that is quite good."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"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 most valuable feature is that Juniper is multiple kernels, so there's isolation, which means you won't get a process that runs away, creating problems across the whole platform."
"The interoperability of the devices, in general, on the Huawei switches is not good and is known to be not good. Maybe they can improve this a bit."
"The documentation needs to be better."
"One of the problems with Huawei is that when you receive a product quote from one of the vendors, you cannot get prices from the other ones because they register your request with Huawei."
"The licensing cost attached to the solution is atrocious, so from an improvement perspective, it should be made cheaper."
"There are some support issues."
"We had a few issues with integration."
"The graphical user interface could be much better."
"There needs to be more documentation. If they opened up a bit and shared more information and maybe allowed for YouTube videos about their products and how to work them, it would benefit the users quite a bit."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' operating systems get corrupted when the power fails. They have to improve this issue. I may have to use a newer version."
"The durability of the devices could be better."
"Wireless and monitoring definitely could be improved."
"One potential drawback of the Juniper EX Series has been that those without experience using a command-line interface (CLI) may find it intimidating. However, Junos is working on improving this by offering tools, such as Juniper Mist with Wired Assurance and Apstra. Additionally, the graphical user interface (GUI) could be improved as it has been considered lackluster across the board in Junos."
"Juniper needs to get their code up to par because it isn't stable enough for a leaf and spine design."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"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."
