We performed a comparison between Aruba Switches and Juniper Ethernet Switches based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Aruba Switches comes out on top in this comparison. It is easy to deploy and, according to reviews, it is a more powerful and robust solution than Juniper Ethernet Switches.
"The solution's stability is really great. We found it very solid."
"The initial setup is quite easy."
"Aruba Switches is stable."
"It is pretty easy to implement the product."
"The most valuable feature is the switches are reliable and replaced for free if anything goes wrong."
"Aruba Switches are definitely stable."
"It is very easy to set up."
"Aruba access points have a good transfer rate."
"This is a lower cost product with better features than the competition."
"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."
"It's stable and reliable."
"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."
"Juniper switches are smart and we have all the features that we want. You can rollback to the previous version if you make any mistake during configuration. This is not possible in Cisco."
"The campus switches and access switches are the most valuable and simple to deploy for Virtual Chassis."
"Junos OS is extremely flexible and easy to pick up."
"I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10 for scalability."
"If you work for a small business, then Cisco would be best."
"My experience with Aruba's account manager hasn't been the greatest."
"The initial setup is relatively complex."
"The command-line interface could be easier to use, perhaps having voice control."
"Aruba is still losing out to Cisco, which continues to dominate the space. Aruba needs to continue to improve its product range in order to compete with Cisco's dominance."
"It would be better and easier for us to buy if the price were reduced."
"Aruba Switches could improve the monitoring and increase the scope of their online portal to cover cloud and on-premise deployments."
"The endpoint capabilities could be improved."
"There are multiple areas of improvement in Juniper EX series switches. In terms of speed and pricing, while Juniper provides good quality services, some clients still find the price very high compared to other competitors. Also there is a need for certain features to be enhanced like clear our configuration process which will help to make Juniper switches more stronger. However, there are also multiple challenges including understanding and configuration of certain aspects difficult without assistance. Despite these kinds of challenges, there have been multiple solutions and huge potential of improvement in Juniper."
"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 security features for the product should be more unified for the product regardless of the product model."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"The operating system, Junos OS, often has bugs which forces rollbacks or additional upgrades to resolve."
"The price is in the intermediate range. It is not overly expensive, but also not cheap. It could stand improvement."
"It would be nice to have a more available list of modules that you can get for this solution."
"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."
