"The Juniper Ethernet switch feature I find the most valuable is reliability."
"The solution is easy to use and has good integration."
"I like that it's fairly easy to implement these ethernet switches."
"It is easy to configure, and there are three routing switches."
"The thing that sets Juniper apart from most switches is that when you're in the command line and you make a configuration change, you just write the command and then say "commit confirmed minutes". For example, I'm configuring a switch here in my office, which is five miles away, and I say, "commit confirmed 5". If I can't get back to the interface within five minutes to be able to make sure the switch came up, it rolls back to the previous configuration. This way I do not get locked out, or the switch doesn't get messed up because of the incorrect configuration. That's an automatic feature, which is pretty slick. I haven't seen that feature with other vendors that I've worked with. That's probably my most favorite feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Junos operating system."
"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 security is good."
"Good price point and very simple to use."
"Overall the solution functions very well."
"The user interface makes it simple to configure and manage."
"It's been working fine, it's been stable, and there are no interruptions."
"These switches are very simple to use and the GUI is very nice."
"It is great size-wise and the user interface is easy to use. You don't need to be a pro to use this solution."
"The performance is good. They also have good prices."
"I haven't found the cost of the solution to be too high."
"I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems."
"In an upcoming release, Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve by having more microservices."
"The operating system, Junos OS, often has bugs which forces rollbacks or additional upgrades to resolve."
"The upgrading of the system should be simplified and made faster."
"I have found the scalability could be improved in the version I was using."
"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."
"The management platforms for the network need improvement."
"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."
"The documentation for command lines needs to be improved."
"The stability and installation could be improved."
"There is currently an issue with supply of switches which needs to be sorted out."
"I would recommend changing the solution to a recognized one, such as Check Point or Fortinet."
"It would be beneficial for us if Ubiquiti had a team of advanced data transportation specialists that we could get feedback from. We are not experts in data transportation, so having this sort of resource would be helpful for us."
"Most configuration can be done on the GUI but sometimes you have to go under the hood and tweak on the CLI."
"It would be helpful to have better visibility into exactly what is going on in the network."
"They can improve the visibility of networks to match Meraki switches, which have good visibility tools to go through the network. In a Meraki device, you get a clear picture when using the bug interface. You can also see its neighbors and have a clear picture of all connected devices. Ubiquiti UniFi Switches do not have such features that Meraki switches provide."
