Has provided reliable performance with useful features such as virtual chassis and high port density
The important thing for our use case of Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches has been reliability, and there are features such as the Virtual Chassis feature, which is one of the things we use. In our case, we use them as core switches in a network that is not very large, and their reliability and the Virtual Chassis feature work well for us. It was one of the reasons we chose it, along with the port density; we are using the 32 port and the 48 port, which work for our needs. Regarding its security features such as MACsec encryption, they are standard and cover what we want; we do not do a lot as they are just Layer 2 switches, but it has standard security features.

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.

"The solution is scalable. It supports my five-year expansion plan. I could expand without a problem."
"For switching, it's stable compared to others, the switching capacity is very high, and the virtual Chassis feature for stacking is good in general, with high bandwidth for the link, which is also good."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."

Cons

"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches can be improved by having more Layer 3 capabilities; it depends on the use case."
"Since everything nowadays is web-based and graphical, it should incorporate more graphical elements."
"They could provide better security tools."
"Juniper should consider reducing its pricing. The Mist licenses are quite expensive and should be more affordable."
"The initial setup of switches is not that simple."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."

"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is less and almost half of Cisco's."
"You don't need to license every switch. We only chose to cover support on core/key equipment and keep a cold spare available when needed."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches are cheaper than Cisco or HP."
"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
