"There is no end to the ability to scale Juniper."
"It's easy to use."
"Both Juniper and Cisco switches are interoperable."
"This solution is impeccable."
"The solution is certainly scalable."
"Junos OS is extremely flexible and easy to pick up."
"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 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."
"It's an extremely reliable platform for the network switches we use."
"Arista Networks Platform is comfortable, easy to deploy, and easy to manage, with non-blocking technology. Additionally, it has a useful CloudVision platform and automation capabilities."
"The solution is very stable."
"The configuration capabilities were good."
"The most valuable features of the Arista Networks Platform are the EVPN and VXLAN. It has comprehensive features."
"It provides telemetry and visibility for many metrics that are not supported by most of the other vendors. Out of the box, no third party solutions are needed."
"Arista Networks Platform offers straightforward deployment, and has good features. Support for the platform is also good."
"It is very stable. It has good hardware and very stable code. It provides good value for its price. They are a very lean type of organization, so they are very responsive, and they're able to focus more on their platform versus having multiple products out there."
"The initial installation of Aruba Switches is easy."
"There is a feature where you can use Bluetooth. You can set up a Bluetooth pairing connection and do the configuration through your phone."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its monitoring capabilities."
"Aruba Switches are always innovating to bring new solutions to the market."
"The solution is scalable."
"The technical support is fantastic!"
"We have not had any issues with the product and its functions. It has been stable."
"I like the number of available throughputs and its ability to have different speeds of ethernet cards or fiber-optic SFPs. It's a core switch, and you can configure it as per your requirements. All the configuration details are well documented on the HP website or Aruba website, and one can easily refer to those and find all the relevant commands from the documentation itself. It's also easy to maintain this solution. It's also cheaper than competing products."
"Some areas of technical support could be better."
"The price is in the intermediate range. It is not overly expensive, but also not cheap. It could stand improvement."
"In an upcoming release, Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve by having more microservices."
"Has a steep learning curve."
"The updates are constantly breaking."
"The stability could be better. We find, for example, Cisco, to be more stable."
"I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems."
"The packet channelizing feature should be improved."
"The solution needs to improve their product range."
"The community is good but is not good enough. It still needs to grow more."
"The solution needs to accommodate new features."
"Its price can be better."
"The solution is quite expensive. One of the negative aspects of it is the pricing."
"The solution is a bit pricey."
"The overall price of the Arista Networks Platform is expensive. It should be reduced."
"An area for improvement in Arista Networks Platform is its integration, e.g. it needs to have more integration with its new products. Incorporating more security and cloud is also another area for improvement in the platform."
"It would be good if I could get a 24-port, 10 gig module."
"The dashboard could be improved, especially for the CX Switches. It would help to push scripts and configurations via an easy to use dashboard, one which would give us complete visibility of all of our switches in one place. Right now, we have more than one dashboard for Aruba. It would be nice if it was centralized."
"It's an expensive product."
"The product could be a little more competitive price-wise."
"There are some growing pains with Aruba Central. When you first launch the wireless access points or switches, a lot of updates are needed to get Aruba Central ready, especially on the access points, so the initial deployment time could improve. I would hope that I could just turn it on and leave the updates until later on. The switches themselves probably did okay. I'm primarily referring to the wireless access points. There was a lot of back and forth before everything was in sync. It took hours."
"There is an issue with Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), but it is escaping me. We aren't using this feature yet, but it is something we are considering."
"The need to come up with a bit more flexibility in their range of models."
"The command-line interface could be easier to use, perhaps having voice control."
