"This solution is impeccable."
"I like that it's fairly easy to implement these ethernet switches."
"Juniper switches are very good with MPLS."
"The virtual Chassis feature for stacking is good in general, with high bandwidth for the link, which is good."
"Juniper Switches' best feature is its flexibility."
"The Juniper Ethernet switch feature I find the most valuable is reliability."
"It's easy to use."
"One of the nicest things about Juniper switches is they work well with other vendor products. When you have to go into a situation where other vendor switches are present, you can make it work."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches have great enterprise features like Cisco DNA Assurance. Cisco DNA Assurance features advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning. Cisco AI Network Analytics, a capability within Cisco DNA Assurance, allows easy management of all devices and services, prioritizes and resolves network issues, and ensures a better user experience across the network."
"Technical support is excellent. They are very helpful."
"This product is widely available and the warranty is very good."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches are stable."
"We only deal with Cisco products, they are very good."
"We like the stability and scalability of Cisco Ethernet Switches."
"Very stable solution with a very low failure rate."
"When it comes to switching routing, we have no doubts about Cisco."
"It is a very easy-to-use product."
"From what I've been told, a valuable feature of Mellanox switches is they're quite user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of Mellanox Switches are the size, power consumption, and the vast amount of features."
"In an upcoming release, Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve by having more microservices."
"The management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."
"The packet channelizing feature should be improved."
"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."
"Some areas of technical support could be better."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' operating systems get corrupted when the power fails. They have to improve this issue. I may have to use a newer version."
"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 only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"There's are other products that are better for network programmability. Cisco isn't as programmable as some preferred vendors. For example, on iOS 6 products, you have to commit the change directly on the running configuration. If you have a generic product you can do this, so it can improve in programmability."
"Better manageability and ease of use would be an improvement."
"Cisco products are expensive compared to any other solution. Now, there are many competitors that give the same level of services - such as Juniper or Aruba."
"We are less in the Cloud because the Cloud technologies didn't work so well. That happened in all of the companies where I've been engaged."
"If we can have fewer bugs on our switches, that would be great. We had bugs that caused the switch to reboot. There is probably a problem with the software."
"The NX-API REST is not very good and should be improved."
"The price could be improved by being reduced."
"I think the price should be cheaper to be able to afford more."
"The configuration is a bit different from Cisco, and therefore, for me at least, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"The scalability is working fine at the moment, but there's always room for improvement. As of right now, I don't know of any improvements to suggest."
"Mellanox Switches could improve by adding some features that can make it easier for integrating the switches in some managing and monitoring platforms, such as Elastic or similar software for monitoring data with the data center in a more holistic way."
