Useful multi-processes, software compatibility, and flexible
The initial setup of Broadcom StrataXGS is complex. However, if you use reference design by Broadcom it can be easy. If you use something else that is not in the reference design you can start to have timing or other problems. If you are not using their hardware, such as Intel, the support might not be there.

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

"The most valuable feature of Broadcom StrataXGS is the multi-processes and software compatibility providing flexibility. There are plenty of options to choose from."
"It's got a very strong CLI and many good features, like ACLs and all those kinds of things."
"We loved Cisco but it is expensive and Juniper Ethernet Switches is perfect; it is the perfect placement between price and technology too."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"You willuse almost every feature on every switch to some degree because the utility is valuable."
"The Juniper Ethernet switch feature I find the most valuable is reliability."
"The most valuable feature is the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)."
"It is very valuable for SRX devices and we have found it very easy to configure."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
 

Cons

"The support could improve."
"Improvements can be made in the web user interface and web management."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches is not cheap. The tool needs improvement in UI."
"Juniper needs to get their code up to par because it isn't stable enough for a leaf and spine design."
"I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems."
"It would be nice to have a more available list of modules that you can get for this solution."
"The stability of this solution should be improved."
"The pricing for the Juniper product is expensive. It is rated high on the scale, and I would say it is definitely on the high side, confirming a rating of one, which means it is very expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Broadcom StrataXGS is high, but other solutions such as Cisco are more expensive."
"We only pay for support."
"The price could be cheaper."
"You require the Junos Management Platform in order to manage the switches and you need to purchase the Juniper Ethernet Switches."
"We don't need to pay for the solution's features."

"Juniper Ethernet Switches are a less expensive solution than Cisco Ethernet Switches. There is only a one-time purchase for Juniper Ethernet Switches."
