Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."There's a zone for each server and services in the storage."
"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."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"The reliability of Brocade is the most valuable feature. The solution has been up and running for over ten years without any fail, fixes required, or breakdowns. It is a very strong piece of equipment."
"The switches last for a very long time."
"The most valuable feature of Brocade Ethernet Switches is the good range of access it provides."
"The initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"The technical support is good."
"We can easily replace components without incurring significant costs in an error or failure."
"The HPE Ethernet switches have very low latency."
"A very robust solution."
"You can scale the product as needed."
"HPE Ethernet Switches have a lifetime warranty. I am using an old version of the solution, but I have heard the new models have incorporated a lot of new features, such as remote setup."
"The initial setup is straightforward. The steps are simple, and you can always contact support if needed. Overall, it's easy."
"The best feature of this solution is the lifetime warranty."
"We have scaled it without any issues."
"It is very valuable for SRX devices and we have found it very easy to configure."
"The Juniper Ethernet switch feature I find the most valuable is reliability."
"I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10 for scalability."
"It is easy to configure, and there are three routing switches."
"It's easy to use."
"We have multiple cases of the customers trying to upgrade their network from Cisco, Aruba and Huawei to Juniper. They do this basically because they want to modernise their network and have an increased capacity. This shift improves their functionality because the Juniper Ethernet switches are more advanced. We provide them with assistance to configure switches, access points and Wi-Fi."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"The platform is very stable in terms of consistency and reliability."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches need a better interface and centralized management."
"There are some performance issues."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches could improve by having better compatibility with web management of older versions."
"The solution could be more secure."
"No graphical interface."
"Technical support needs improvement, as the response time could be better."
"We have had some rare occasions with glitches, so the stability can be improved."
"The product could always use better technical support."
"They should continue to work on new features."
"This solution needs to support software-defined networking."
"It would be helpful to have training available for this solution."
"We would always be happier if the price were reduced."
"Some users might look for high-speed switching like Cisco or Nexus switches, which can handle larger volumes. HPE's current offerings aren't as robust in that area, but they could improve."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve in the EX 2300 model because it does not support IPsec VPN. Only the models at 3400 or higher support it. Additionally, there is a need for support for Mac which is lacking. Some of their competitors, such as Cisco, support Mac."
"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 configuration could be made simpler."
"The difficulty of the installation of Juniper Ethernet Switches depends on the environment it is being implemented in. It is fairly straightforward in terms of being able to source the technical information as we need it. However, this process could improve."
"The initial setup of switches is not that simple."
"They could improve the code, as there are some issues with it."
"Wireless and monitoring definitely could be improved."
"Juniper should improve the support services provided to users, as it is one of its areas with certain shortcomings."
