Network access control has integrated smoothly and delivers flexible guest onboarding
In my opinion, there is not much potential room for improvement for Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches. If there is anything, I will surely get in touch with you. I am also in touch with the local SEs over here who are part of Juniper. I haven't seen any small stability bugs, but the only thing is sometimes I feel that while creating an ACL filter IDs, in other vendors, I've seen it is quite easy but in Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches, I have to do a lot of testing before implementing it in production. Normal ACL that we write with filter ID normally reads "permit IP any host equals to" but in Juniper it is different. I have to write three or four lines for each rule.

Greatly simplifies troubleshooting; remote access to the router is a huge time saver
The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents. I can always call technical support and ask them if I forget something and I'll get the support, but I shouldn't need to do that. Anything can be improved and unfortunately a good switch is not cheap but there's no choice if you need a special router.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have found Junos to be the most valuable feature."
"I like the VLAN capabilities, and the Junos interface is easy to use."
"The solution has a high level of network functionality."
"It is stable."
"It's easy to use."
"I started using Juniper two and a half years ago with zero experience, and it was a steep learning curve, but I've become a fan of this product."
"The campus switches and access switches are the most valuable and simple to deploy for Virtual Chassis."
"Juniper is the best when it comes to the core layer."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"The solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
 

Cons

"There are security features related to Mac addresses that are present in high-end switches that lack some of the same flexibility in the lower-end switches."
"The operating system, Junos OS, often has bugs which forces rollbacks or additional upgrades to resolve."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' operating systems get corrupted when the power fails. They have to improve this issue. I may have to use a newer version."
"Juniper's 3rd level support could be much better and faster."
"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 price is in the intermediate range. It is not overly expensive, but also not cheap. It could stand improvement."
"Juniper needs to get their code up to par because it isn't stable enough for a leaf and spine design."
"One potential drawback of the Juniper EX Series has been that those without experience using a command-line interface (CLI) may find it intimidating. However, Junos is working on improving this by offering tools, such as Juniper Mist with Wired Assurance and Apstra. Additionally, the graphical user interface (GUI) could be improved as it has been considered lackluster across the board in Junos."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"While the solution is good for the light commercial market or for the residential market, it's not ideal for the commercial market, for example, a big enterprise or data center."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' pricing is high, but that's reflected across the market."
"The solution does not require a license to use it."
"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."
"The initial cost of the solution can be expensive."
"We only pay for support."
"Support prices and licensing scheme need to be improved to allow some features to be purchased at lower costs, for example, RPM​."
"The Juniper switches are less expensive than competing brands."
"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
