We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access 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."Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access has essential features for managing switches."
"One of the most feature-packed switching solutions you can implement."
"The product is very secure."
"What I actually use in this deployment are Forti APs (Fortinet Access Points). So, I can see all my office infrastructure from a single console, which is handy. One FortiGate, one FortiSwitch, and five access points, everything under good control. It's really nice to see it all together like this."
"Deploying the solution is a breeze, even a novice can do it."
"Stability and scalability for this product are very good. Setup is easy and deployment can be completed within minutes. The technical support for Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access is good."
"What stands out is the effective management and enhanced security provided by the solution's function as an extension of the firewall."
"It can integrate well with other Fortinet products."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches are high-end solutions."
"There is no end to the ability to scale Juniper."
"Juniper supports all our connectivity infrastructure in our datacenter, supporting optimal availability and performance for services."
"I like that it's fairly easy to implement these ethernet switches."
"The scalability is excellent. It's one of the aspects of the solution that is quite good."
"The Virtual Chassis, because you have a centralized administration of a set of switches which makes the operation more efficient."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"This is a lower cost product with better features than the competition."
"While Fortinet is good for school boards and mid-sized businesses, enterprise-class networks require a zero-trust solution. If you're building a zero-trust network with end-to-end security, that's where Fortinet falls behind Cisco, HPE, and Aruba."
"It could be simpler but compared to the competition, it's not so bad."
"Technical support needs to take a different approach and pricing should appear more competitive."
"It would also help if they lowered the cost of their service."
"They could provide integration with Fortinet Authenticator."
"The product's end-user protection feature needs improvement."
"I give the stability a seven out of ten because we have noticed when we hook up phones the switching of ELANs et cetera doesn't work as it should."
"In Fortinet, the packet reconstruction in the SD-WAN solution needs a little bit of improvement. When it comes to the Secure Access to the switches or the mix of Fortinet solution, the very small ones do not have the capability to use fiber cables. So, the small FortiGates have to work with the copper cables and cannot use fiber cables. Even though they have the capacity and throughput on all technical connectors, they don't have the interfaces, which is one of the good things with Cisco. They just add models to it. You buy the independent models, and you add them."
"The durability of the devices could be better."
"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."
"The operating system could be better."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches is not cheap. The tool needs improvement in UI."
"Jupiter Switches' configuration is a little difficult to understand."
"The packet channelizing feature should be improved."
"The stability could be better. We find, for example, Cisco, to be more stable."
"The updates are constantly breaking."
