Scales well, reliable, and has good support
I was their technical support for a year. The support is pretty good. Locally, it is available in the United States. They provide technical support to distributors such as Appnet and Arrow first. It's the first line of defense. Then you progress to a higher level of support. They have people, such as experts, all over the country who interface and provide fairly quick solutions, as well as hardware and software reviews. They can also return to the original developers in Taiwan. Broadcom is a Taiwan-based company. They can return to those guys. There are some guys in Israel that they collaborate with. It's pretty good in terms of support but it all comes down to money or the size of the opportunity. They will bend over backward to provide tons of direct support if the opportunity is large enough. If it's a small opportunity, you are not as fortunate.

Network access control has integrated smoothly and delivers flexible guest onboarding
In my opinion, there is not much potential room for improvement for Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches. If there is anything, I will surely get in touch with you. I am also in touch with the local SEs over here who are part of Juniper. I haven't seen any small stability bugs, but the only thing is sometimes I feel that while creating an ACL filter IDs, in other vendors, I've seen it is quite easy but in Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches, I have to do a lot of testing before implementing it in production. Normal ACL that we write with filter ID normally reads "permit IP any host equals to" but in Juniper it is different. I have to write three or four lines for each rule.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"They have some of the fastest speeds available."
"While Cisco is most likely the leader, Broadcom is probably number two, both in terms of interoperability and speed."
"The solution is easy to use and has good integration."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"I believe Juniper is a lot cheaper than Cisco."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches that I found is the URL redirection feature because it helps customers to onboard guest users as well as for performing compliance checks."
"As far as technology and WAN assurance are concerned, I rate Juniper switch ten out of ten."
"The setup phase was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is that the CLI is the same on all of the Juniper devices, including routers, switches, and firewalls."
"The stability of this solution is rock solid."
 

Cons

"Broadcom's biggest issue is that they don't like to share information. They are only interested in providing the bare minimum of documentation."
"The only disadvantage with Juniper is the modules are very expensive lately."
"It was very difficult to get technical support, here in Egypt. There is no local support available."
"The solution is a bit costly compared to other products."
"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."
"The technical support from Juniper Ethernet Switches could be better."
"Steep learning curve for newcomers."
"There are security features related to Mac addresses that are present in high-end switches that lack some of the same flexibility in the lower-end switches."
"The stability of this solution should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's approximately $1,000,000.00 if you want to get a license for the software."
"I think the tool's prices are competitive with the vendors."
"They offer a more competitive pricing structure compared to one of the competitors."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches could be less expensive. There is not a license needed to use the solution."
"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"We had a leakage in the support process and decided to end the product's life in order to purchase a new product with support. We did not renew product support as a result."
"The solution does not require a license to use it."
"Support prices and licensing scheme need to be improved to allow some features to be purchased at lower costs, for example, RPM​."
"You don't need to license every switch. We only chose to cover support on core/key equipment and keep a cold spare available when needed."
