We performed a comparison between Brocade Ethernet Switches and Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The switches last for a very long time."
"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."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"There's a zone for each server and services in the storage."
"The most valuable feature of Brocade Ethernet Switches is the good range of access it provides."
"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 initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"The technical support is good."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"The solution is easy to use and has good integration."
"It is easy to configure, and there are three routing switches."
"The most valuable feature is switching on our network."
"The Virtual Chassis, because you have a centralized administration of a set of switches which makes the operation more efficient."
"I like the simplicity of it."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"Juniper switches are very good with MPLS."
"There are some performance issues."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
"No graphical interface."
"The solution could be more secure."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches need a better interface and centralized management."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches could improve by having better compatibility with web management of older versions."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"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."
"The configuration could be made simpler."
"The management platforms for the network need improvement."
"I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' tech support is hard to reach and slow."
"The Virtual Chassis Fabric is kind of complicated to troubleshoot sometimes. On the MPLS side, they're good — they're fine for the pseudo-wires and stuff—but they need more work on the LAN. It is difficult to troubleshoot their LAN technologies like Virtual Chassis."
"One potential drawback of the Juniper EX Series has been that those without experience using a command-line interface (CLI) may find it intimidating. However, Junos is working on improving this by offering tools, such as Juniper Mist with Wired Assurance and Apstra. Additionally, the graphical user interface (GUI) could be improved as it has been considered lackluster across the board in Junos."
"Its distribution channel and the ease of availability should be improved."
