We performed a comparison between Arista Networks Platform 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.
"What we like most is its performance to price ratio."
"We find the CloudVision switching feature of this solution really useful."
"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 is comfortable, easy to deploy, and easy to manage, with non-blocking technology. Additionally, it has a useful CloudVision platform and automation capabilities."
"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 product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"I like the spine as a leaf model and low latency. The hardware is robust and meets expected latency in all environments, mainly if you belong to the media or trading industry. For multicast-based solutions, Arista is number one."
"The user-friendly policy manager lets us apply different controls for various user groups easily."
"The product is very helpful in troubleshooting."
"One of the nicest things about Juniper switches is they work well with other vendor products. When you have to go into a situation where other vendor switches are present, you can make it work."
"Both Juniper and Cisco switches are interoperable."
"I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10 for scalability."
"Juniper supports all our connectivity infrastructure in our datacenter, supporting optimal availability and performance for services."
"The platform is very stable in terms of consistency and reliability."
"Juniper is the best when it comes to the core layer."
"There is no end to the ability to scale Juniper."
"They should have a more stable code."
"Something that you will often hear about Arista products is that the price is a bit too high and, like with Cisco, we sometimes have problems with our customers because of its pricing."
"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."
"The CVP management platform needs to be improved."
"The solution is quite expensive. One of the negative aspects of it is the pricing."
"Arista Networks Platform should focus on improving the compatibility or integration with Cisco solutions."
"The solution is a bit pricey."
"The intent-based networking management, together with the provider of these solutions that are already free, would be beneficial."
"The operating system, Junos OS, often has bugs which forces rollbacks or additional upgrades to resolve."
"The stability of this solution should be improved."
"Wireless and monitoring definitely could be improved."
"It was very difficult to get technical support, here in Egypt. There is no local support available."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches would be improved by upgrading the uplink port in EX2300 categories service from 10G to 25G."
"EX switches take too long to boot when we restart them for maintenance. We need to minimize downtime. Another issue is the command line interface. Juniper's commands are different from other switches, so it's hard to remember them."
"In an upcoming release, Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve by having more microservices."
"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."
