Cons
"Its security features need improvement.""They need to have some more high-end switches.""It could be easier to scale on managed devices.""They could be more stable. They were not as resistant as Cisco. After some time, some of them failed. This could be because we import quite a lot of products from different horizons, so there is no guarantee of quality. In Africa, these products don't always directly come from the manufacturer. We get these products from the Middle East or Asia. Therefore, you cannot be sure that the quality is exactly similar to what you have in Europe or America.""The D-Link Ethernet Switches have to be replaced because they are difficult to manage and security is poor. They should add centralized manageability to make the solution better, it will allow administrators to better know what is happening on the network.""The availability could be improved.""I would like an option to create different networks within the switch.""The solution could be cheaper."

"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 management platforms for the network need improvement.""Juniper Ethernet Switches would be improved by upgrading the uplink port in EX2300 categories service from 10G to 25G.""More security could be provided, especially with the rising cyber-attacks in business organizations.""In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking.""The stability could be better. We find, for example, Cisco, to be more stable.""They should integrate VPN functionality with the solution.""We are undergoing a migration to software-defined networking. Different vendors have to integrate with each other and we are not seeing this type of capability within Juniper. We are getting left behind in this technology trend by staying with this solution. Juniper is also losing a bit of market share because of this."
