Cons
"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.""More security could be provided, especially with the rising cyber-attacks in business organizations.""The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added.""I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems.""Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches lack to offer the latest management tools.""The Virtual Chassis Fabric is kind of complicated to troubleshoot sometimes. On the MPLS side, they're good — they're fine for the pseudo-wires and stuff—but they need more work on the LAN. It is difficult to troubleshoot their LAN technologies like Virtual Chassis.""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.""The management platforms for the network need improvement."

"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved.""The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic.""You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
