"Juniper switches are very good with MPLS."
"It's easy to use."
"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."
"The security is good."
"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."
"Both Juniper and Cisco switches are interoperable."
"The virtual Chassis feature for stacking is good in general, with high bandwidth for the link, which is good."
"The solution is easy to use and has good integration."
"Management-wise, this is a good solution."
"It is a very good device for our company. It is stable and very scalable."
"Scalable and reliable solution for your network connectivity needs, with a straightforward setup."
"They provide great service in terms of replacing malfunctioning switches."
"The most valuable feature is the security that these switches provide."
"These switches have a good performance, and they are also quickly configurable."
"We have found that the command line interface is very useful and very similar to Cisco devices."
"It's a reliable product that you can depend on."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"It has good integration with HPE Primera. They have smart zoning in which the administration is very easy. You don't have to do anything. Zoning and other things are done automatically if you just enable the smart zoning. That's one very good thing in HP."
"The switches last for a very long time."
"We need to start seeing some kind of AI to assist with some of what we really want to accomplish from a policy standpoint to achieve better efficiency."
"Wireless and monitoring definitely could be improved."
"Has a steep learning curve."
"Stability could be better, especially during a reboot. We have had some issues recently with the software getting corrupt on reboot, which causes a lot of downtime."
"They could improve the code, as there are some issues with it."
"Juniper's support could be much better and faster."
"The management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."
"In an upcoming release, Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve by having more microservices."
"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 would be better and easier for us to buy if the price were reduced."
"I would say that the customization of the switches could be easier to configure."
"The customer service could be a bit quicker and the employees could be more professional."
"The product could be a little more competitive price-wise."
"They have limited CLI options in the UI and this is something that needs improvement."
"We had an issue with the hardware where one or two interfaces went down after one and a half years. This issue impacted only one or two interfaces, not the whole hardware."
"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."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"The solution could be more secure."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
