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.
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of the Arista Networks Platform are the EVPN and VXLAN. It has comprehensive features."
"The configuration capabilities were good."
"We find the CloudVision switching feature of this solution really useful."
"The most valuable aspect of Arista Networks products is their ease of configuration, especially when compared to Cisco products. When we implement advanced features for data centers such as BGP EVPN and VXLAN, Arista's configuration process is similar to that of Cisco's process, but at the same time it is simply much easier, clearer, and more understandable."
"Arista Networks Platform offers straightforward deployment, and has good features. Support for the platform is also good."
"The solution has good load latency. They're the market leader in this aspect right now."
"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."
"The GUI interface distinguishes it from other vendors and makes it easy to operate."
"This solution is impeccable."
"The product is flexible and easy to set up."
"It has features that allow us to go back to previous configurations."
"The campus switches and access switches are the most valuable and simple to deploy for Virtual Chassis."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches are high-end solutions."
"The Virtual Chassis, because you have a centralized administration of a set of switches which makes the operation more efficient."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Junos operating system."
"They should have a more stable code."
"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 stability of this solution needs to be improved as part of the next upgrade."
"Arista Networks Platform should focus on improving the compatibility or integration with Cisco solutions."
"The product fails to offer functions related to cloud orchestration, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"The community is good but is not good enough. It still needs to grow more."
"The overall price of the Arista Networks Platform is expensive. It should be reduced."
"The Virtual Chassis Fabric is kind of complicated to troubleshoot sometimes. On the MPLS side, they're good — they're fine for the pseudo-wires and stuff—but they need more work on the LAN. It is difficult to troubleshoot their LAN technologies like Virtual Chassis."
"Juniper EX Series could improve the process and ease of updating the software. It is a difficult process."
"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."
"Juniper's support could be much better and faster."
"The interface could be better. It needs improvement."
"Juniper needs to get their code up to par because it isn't stable enough for a leaf and spine design."
"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."
"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."
