We performed a comparison between Broadcom StrataDNX and Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."The good thing about the StrataDNX is that the Broadcom family is very interchangeable, so they work well with different optical transceivers."
"Easy to integrate with any of the other hardware platforms."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"The Virtual Chassis, because you have a centralized administration of a set of switches which makes the operation more efficient."
"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 product is flexible and easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Junos operating system."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Ethernet Switches is the public remote configuration option. If you make a mistake in the configuration you can roll it back to the previous configuration automatically after a set time frame increment, such as five or more minutes. In all the other competitors once you press to enter the new configuration is already written in. You cannot roll it back automatically."
"It's pretty good as compared to other vendors."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The number of surfaces that can be handled by the chipset could be increased."
"The initial setup for Juniper switches is complex. Juniper has a new program that solves that problem a little bit, but it is expensive, so I don't use it. It is Juniper Mesh, Juniper Wire, or something like that where you plug in a switch, and it goes out to their cloud, finds a config, and brings it down. So, you can do everything cloud-based, but there is a fee for that. It is expensive, so I've never used it. If we were starting, we would try to do something like that. It is more for a large enterprise for managing hundreds of switches versus what we're doing. They should make its price more cost-effective or include it for new or smaller companies."
"The management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."
"I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches lack to offer the latest management tools."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"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."
"The stability of this solution should be improved."
"Support could be improved."
