"It's pretty good as compared to other vendors.""One of the most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches is they are rugged.""Juniper switches are smart and we have all the features that we want.

Cons
"The company needs to provide more on hand training on the product.""Huawei Ethernet Switches should improve its user interface.""The product’s pricing needs improvement. It could be more stable as well.""The product should improve cloud capability.""I have issues with the support's communication language. The tool's UI can be better.""Certain regulatory issues in a lot of countries cause limitations .""I would like to see some improvements in the access layer switch that is available in Aruba.""I didn't like the Huawei Switches because of the different versions resetting the configuration issue. Huawei doesn't support Layer 3 modes while TOE and ARP have some issues."

More Huawei Ethernet Switches Cons →

"The updates are constantly breaking.""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.""You need to make a few local configurations to work with the solution. We have faced issues with the tool's stability.""The price could be a bit lower.""The stability could be better. We find, for example, Cisco, to be more stable.""Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve in the EX 2300 model because it does not support IPsec VPN. Only the models at 3400 or higher support it. Additionally, there is a need for support for Mac which is lacking. Some of their competitors, such as Cisco, support Mac.""The operating system could be better.""Jupiter Switches' configuration is a little difficult to understand."

  • "Relatively affordable per switch."
  • "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."
  • "We had a leakage in the support process and decided to end the product's life in order to purchase a new product with support. We did not renew product support as a result."
  • "Juniper Ethernet Switches are a less expensive solution than Cisco Ethernet Switches. There is only a one-time purchase for Juniper Ethernet Switches."
  • "You require the Junos Management Platform in order to manage the switches and you need to purchase the Juniper Ethernet Switches."
  • "Juniper Ethernet Switches' pricing is high, but that's reflected across the market."
  • "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 pricing of Juniper Ethernet Switches compared to equivalent switches from Aruba, Cisco, and others, Juniper Ethernet Switches are priced a little higher. They are approximately 20 to 50 percent higher. When we receive a new range of models, the prices can come down. The price can also vary by region."
