Secure, easy to use, and dashboard works well
I use this solution with VxRail I have found some of the key features of the solution are it can be configured similar to Cisco, it is secure, easy to use, and the dashboard works well. In some configurations, I am unable to use two switches as one and it causes some problems. In the future, I…

Has provided reliable performance with useful features such as virtual chassis and high port density
The important thing for our use case of Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches has been reliability, and there are features such as the Virtual Chassis feature, which is one of the things we use. In our case, we use them as core switches in a network that is not very large, and their reliability and the Virtual Chassis feature work well for us. It was one of the reasons we chose it, along with the port density; we are using the 32 port and the 48 port, which work for our needs. Regarding its security features such as MACsec encryption, they are standard and cover what we want; we do not do a lot as they are just Layer 2 switches, but it has standard security features.

Pros

"I have found some of the key features of the solution are it can be configured similar to Cisco, it is secure, easy to use, and the dashboard works well."
"It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"This is a lower cost product with better features than the competition."
"The most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches are the simple configuration and ruggedness."
"The Juniper EX Series's most valuable feature is its robustness. Additionally, it is easy to use and great GUI."
"The stability is very good."
"I started using Juniper two and a half years ago with zero experience, and it was a steep learning curve, but I've become a fan of this product."
"This solution is impeccable."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches meet the needs of just about every customer."
 

Cons

"In some configurations, I am unable to use two switches as one and it causes some problems."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking."
"Juniper has a problem: even registered partners cannot open tickets or take support directly with Juniper."
"They should integrate VPN functionality with the solution."
"It was very difficult to get technical support, here in Egypt. There is no local support available."
"The stability could be better. We find, for example, Cisco, to be more stable."
"EX switches take too long to boot when we restart them for maintenance. We need to minimize downtime. Another issue is the command line interface. Juniper's commands are different from other switches, so it's hard to remember them."
"Stability is an area that needs improvement. They could improve the code, as there are some issues with it."
"The initial setup for Juniper switches is complex. Juniper has a new program that solves that problem a little bit, but it is expensive, so I don't use it. It is Juniper Mesh, Juniper Wire, or something like that where you plug in a switch, and it goes out to their cloud, finds a config, and brings it down. So, you can do everything cloud-based, but there is a fee for that. It is expensive, so I've never used it. If we were starting, we would try to do something like that. It is more for a large enterprise for managing hundreds of switches versus what we're doing. They should make its price more cost-effective or include it for new or smaller companies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is fair."
"For the QFX5000 Juniper switches, the price is about $10,000, but they would probably sell it for $1,000. Nobody can beat Juniper's pricing when it comes to switches. Juniper out-prices everybody, but they get you on the back end, maintenance, service port, and service contract."
"The price could be cheaper."
"They offer a more competitive pricing structure compared to one of the competitors."
"Relatively affordable per switch."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches could be less expensive. There is not a license needed to use the solution."
"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"You don't need to license every switch. We only chose to cover support on core/key equipment and keep a cold spare available when needed."
"The solution does not require a license to use it."
