Have achieved lower costs and gained reliability with some room for better scalability

The security capabilities of Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches are comparable to other brands, so there are no additional points for Juniper regarding the security systems. I would rate the price of Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches an eight out of ten. Regarding stability, I would rate Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches a nine out of ten. I would recommend Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches to other organizations because it is easy to use, the command is easy to learn, and it is very stable. I chose Juniper as my primary vendor because it is very stable, reliable, and the price is lower than competitors. I am the person who usually does the maintenance alone. In my office, my two colleagues and I are the network engineers directly responsible for the operation of the EX devices. The number of users in my organization who have access to Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches is around 17 people. Overall, I would rate Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches an eight out of ten.

Rock-solid connectivity and WiFi coverage

It's a hardwired solution so our customers do not have to use a mesh network — I really dislike that. It causes too much delay, etc. As with any product, there is always room for improvement. A good router is not cheap. A good switch is not cheap. Let's say somebody develops a new frequency — 7GHz. Well, in that case, you'd need a special router. I have some customers who request Cat7 for their homes. That's way too much. So I'd say, "What are you going to run over here? Let's just run fiber optics. Then the customer will respond, "Well, I read somewhere and other people have told me that if you're going to wire your house, go with Cat7." I'd say, "Sir, you're not going to even utilize Cat5e." I use Cat5e, and believe it or not, I can pump at 10 gigabits per second with Cat5e. The same was true with ePoE — now we have ePoE+. Some switches with ePoE cannot supply as much juice as the modern ePoE+, which requires much more power. The basic switch doesn't have the capacity to deal with that. The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic. It pretty much just covers some basic IP information, defense, and how to change the administrator password — that's pretty much it. I am a dealer, I shouldn't have to contact support for basic answers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable feature is switching on our network."

"I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10 for scalability."

"This solution is impeccable."

"As far as technology and WAN assurance are concerned, I rate Juniper switch ten out of ten."

"The ease of management through the command line interface is very good."

"I chose Juniper as my primary vendor because it is very stable, reliable, and the price is lower than competitors."

"The solution is certainly scalable."

"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."

More Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches pros

"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."

"The solution is less expensive than other options."

"The ePoE+ is great."

Cons

"The management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."

"I have found the scalability could be improved in the version I was using."

"Their web GUI interface needs to be a lot better, especially when compared to HP. The command line is good, but you have to know how to get around it. The GUI is clunky and very slow."

"They could improve the code, as there are some issues with it."

"They could provide better security tools."

"The packet channelizing feature should be improved."

"Juniper Ethernet Switches would be improved by upgrading the uplink port in EX2300 categories service from 10G to 25G."

"They should integrate VPN functionality with the solution."

More Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches cons

"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."

"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."

"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Relatively affordable per switch."

"If compared to Cisco, this is a well priced solution. Compared to HP, it is a little bit overpriced. Overall, they are priced in the middle compared to competitors."

"The solution's pricing is cheaper than that of Cisco."

"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."

"You require the Junos Management Platform in order to manage the switches and you need to purchase the Juniper Ethernet Switches."

"It is an inexpensive product."

"Juniper Ethernet Switches' pricing is high, but that's reflected across the market."

More Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches pricing and cost advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."

Benefits of Juniper vs Cisco

Both are decent products. I prefer Juniper for the following reasons: 1) Cleaner separation of data plane from control plane. Higher end Cisco devices are better at this but most of the lower end products still seem to be more integrated than I like. 2) The Hierarchical config design means I can…
