We performed a comparison between Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches and Mellanox 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."Juniper supports all our connectivity infrastructure in our datacenter, supporting optimal availability and performance for services."
"The most valuable feature is that Juniper is multiple kernels, so there's isolation, which means you won't get a process that runs away, creating problems across the whole platform."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"It is easy to configure, and there are three routing switches."
"One of the most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches is they are rugged."
"The product is very helpful in troubleshooting."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"The most valuable features of Mellanox Switches are the size, power consumption, and the vast amount of features."
"From what I've been told, a valuable feature of Mellanox switches is they're quite user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of Mellanox Switches are the powerful hardware and the software is open. They're using Linux operating system. You can do and install many things, and it performs well."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its functionality."
"It is a very easy-to-use product."
"Stability could be better, especially during a reboot. We have had some issues recently with the software getting corrupt on reboot, which causes a lot of downtime."
"It was very difficult to get technical support, here in Egypt. There is no local support available."
"I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems."
"The security features for the product should be more unified for the product regardless of the product model."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches is not cheap. The tool needs improvement in UI."
"Some areas of technical support could be better."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"The price could be a bit lower."
"Mellanox Switches were easier before Nvidia bought Mellanox and then their new version of the operating system changed. They started with Ennui, and now they only use Linux. If they returned to their previous CLI it would be a good option for starters. The new CLI is more difficult to use but more powerful than the older one. It has its advantages."
"If you compare this solution with Cisco, utilization in Cisco is more popular and it is more friendly."
"Mellanox Switches could improve by adding some features that can make it easier for integrating the switches in some managing and monitoring platforms, such as Elastic or similar software for monitoring data with the data center in a more holistic way."
"The configuration is a bit different from Cisco, and therefore, for me at least, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"The scalability is working fine at the moment, but there's always room for improvement. As of right now, I don't know of any improvements to suggest."
