Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Juniper QFX Series Switches provide a good platform for all of our hardware and are easy to use.""It's really easy to replicate rules. It's the one that I've used; it was CLI-based. You can implement a large set of rules with CLI. You can just copy a script and add additional changes to the source and destination on the part. And so it's easy to do large zone-based rules.""It's a stable solution.""The QFX series is a good choice for large data centers, particularly for Spine-Leaf architectures.""EVPN-VXLAN feature offers the most benefits.""The most valuable features are the VxLAN and the EVPN."

It is too high.""The price could be cheaper.""There have been some issues sometimes. When you upgrade the device, it doesn't come up. It gets stuck."
