We performed a comparison between HPE 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 most valuable feature is the IRF."
"A very robust solution."
"We use HPE Ethernet Switches to provide solutions for the hotel, their guests, and IPTV."
"The simplicity of the commands is most valuable. The commands are the same for several devices."
"We were able to onboard HPE Ethernet Switches easily to the cloud. It was fast and took only five minutes to complete."
"We found the installation process to be simple."
"The product's stacking technology is stable and works well."
"They are affordable and very stable. They also have good performance."
"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."
"The solution is certainly scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)."
"The feature I like the most is the ability to reword changes before committing to the change. We can always reword changes in 10 minutes if they don't work."
"The solution is easy to use and has good integration."
"The product is flexible and easy to set up."
"The combination of hardware and software makes it a very good solution. It is a modern protocol that they have supported in the switches. The solution has good performance."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"The security of the solution always has room for improvement."
"The only improvement I can think of is that it could be better with less updates."
"If there is any fluctuation in power then we will face an outage with our POE switches, so this is something that should be improved."
"It's gone up in price in the last 12 months."
"The pricing could be lowered."
"In the next release, I would like to see them include more features like the Aruba solution, to have more possibilities concerning the software design."
"We haven't had any issues with this switch in the past 10 years. That's the reason we're still keeping them alive."
"We would always be happier if the price were reduced."
"We need to start seeing some kind of AI to assist with some of what we really want to accomplish from a policy standpoint to achieve better efficiency."
"I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems."
"The operating system, Junos OS, often has bugs which forces rollbacks or additional upgrades to resolve."
"Support could be improved."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' tech support is hard to reach and slow."
"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."
"I have found the scalability could be improved in the version I was using."
"We would like it if there was more security added in future releases."
