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 initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"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 switches last for a very long time."
"There's a zone for each server and services in the storage."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"The technical support is good."
"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 most valuable feature of Brocade Ethernet Switches is the good range of access it provides."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"Juniper EX Series is part of the Junos operating system and has a candidate configuration feature, which means changes are not immediately applied. It has a consistent command structure across all platforms and can handle both layer-three routing and layer-two switching. Additionally, the Junos OS offers virtualization options and support for multi-chassis and fabric switching. Overall, the Juniper EX Series is a versatile and powerful solution."
"The setup phase was straightforward."
"The security is good."
"The most valuable feature is that the CLI is the same on all of the Juniper devices, including routers, switches, and firewalls."
"Juniper supports all our connectivity infrastructure in our datacenter, supporting optimal availability and performance for services."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' best features are the high packer sorting and throughput, good uplink port capacity, and virtual setup."
"No graphical interface."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches could improve by having better compatibility with web management of older versions."
"There are some performance issues."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches need a better interface and centralized management."
"The solution could be more secure."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches lack to offer the latest management tools."
"Juniper EX Series could improve the process and ease of updating the software. It is a difficult process."
"The management platforms for the network need improvement."
"Support could be improved."
"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."
"The interface could be better. It needs improvement."
"I have found the scalability could be improved in the version I was using."
