Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches Reviews

We use only Firewalls, Juniper Switches. We don't have SD-WAN solutions.

We use this solution for connecting.

It's user-friendly.

The security is good.

Stability is an area that needs improvement.

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

Marketing could be better.

I have been working with Juniper Ethernet Switches for six years.

We are using the EX series.

It's a stable solution, but there are some limitations.

I don't have any issues with scalability.

The vendor support is good. 

The technical support is good.

The initial setup is straightforward. It's not complex. It's easy.

I don't have any knowledge of pricing, I am in the technical department. 

It's a good product. 

It's user-friendly and has good security also.

I would recommend it to others.

I would rate Juniper Ethernet Switches an eight out of ten.

We use Juniper Ethernet switches to connect to other switches and computers.

We are a public service company providing the backbone network for our country. We have the highest level of concentration. We provide our services to some 45 other big operators because we are a carrier's carrier. Not all of this is on one switch as our network stretches across three countries and five cities. We have 12 data centers and not all of them use Juniper switches. We use Juniper switches in two central data centers, to which we connected 12 customers and 20 backbone instances.

The Juniper Ethernet switch feature I find the most valuable is reliability.

We have been using Juniper Ethernet switches for three years.

Juniper Ethernet switches are stable. 

Juniper Ethernet switches are scalable. 

Juniper's 3rd level support could be much better and faster.

Local partner is perfect, but not almighty, we have to escalate some issues to Juniper.

The initial setup was straightforward. 

Our in-house teams implemented the switches. Implementation takes a couple of hours because these are state of the art switches. We use the carrier-grade switches as we are a public operation and provide backbone connectivity to the whole country. So, deployment is not trivial in our case. It takes some time to meticulously plan and install these switches.

It is easy to configure, and there are three routing switches.

Its distribution channel and the ease of availability should be improved.

I have been using this solution for the last five years.

It is very stable.

It is scalable.

They are very helpful.

The initial setup was straightforward. The deployment duration varies because many other softwares come into play. For deploying one switch, it would take maybe 30 minutes.

I would highly recommend this solution because people are used to the common model. They don't need to try other available models.

I would rate Juniper Ethernet Switches a seven out of ten.

The primary use case of this solution is for routing.

It's easy to use.

The interface could be better. It needs improvement.

We do everything in configuration files and it is not simple. It is quite complicated when you configure some rules for the firewall because it has several firewall levels.

In some switches, at times we have some issues, but it's on the infrastructure part and it's not the latest hardware.

In the future, I would like to see more standardized software. For example, some of the switches use some features that should be implemented in Juniper.

The software should be more stable.

I have been using these switches for more than four years.

We are not using the latest version.

We use Juniper MX960 and the QFX5100 for the core switch.

It's a stable product.

It's a scalable product.

We have millions of clients who are using this solution daily.

In our organization, we have 20 people who are using it.

We have not contacted technical support.

There is a lot of documentation that you can read whenever required.

Previously, we used Cisco. We switched because we run 100 switches and started to use the IPv6 and we were told that we had to pay $100,000 for the IPv6 license.

In Juniper, you will not have this issue because many of the licenses and a lot of software are already included in the basic version.

The installation was simple.

The configuration of the hardware took a few weeks because it was the first time we deployed it.

We have a team of two technical members to maintain this product.

We completed the installation ourselves.

I would recommend this product to anyone who is interested in using it.

We plan to continue using these switches in the future. It still works and it's quite stable.

I would rate Juniper Ethernet Switches a nine out of ten.

We use Juniper Ethernet switches for managing resources in our network.

The most valuable feature is the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).

The configuration could be made simpler.

I have been using Juniper Ethernet switches for three years.

This is a stable solution and we use it on a daily basis.

There are five people in my team who use the Juniper switches.

We have not been in direct contact with technical support from Juniper because we deal with a vendor in Indonesia. If we have problems that they are unable to solve then the request will be forwarded to the Juniper Technical Center.

I also have experience with Cisco Ethernet switches. I find that Cisco is simpler to work with but Juniper has a steadier configuration. We have more Juniper switches in the company.

The initial setup is simple, although there is some difference between different versions. The configuration is similar to Linux, so it was simple for me because I have Linux skills. The deployment will take between one and two hours.

We currently have an EX 2200 but we want to upgrade to an EX 4300.

Overall, this is a good product and I recommend it. It has been working fine, for us.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I'm a manager and we're a user and customer of Juniper. The primary use case is for our network connectivity, for our wireless access. We use it as a POP port and through the radio-network connectivity, it's used for all purposes, like wireless data and e-mails, whatever it is. We use it for video conferencing, basic network switching, really for all purposes. We have about 100 staff using the solution and at any one time, there are around 700 to 800 network divisors connected to the network.

We like Juniper switches because it has some features that allow us to go back to previous configurations. For example, if we change the configuration and there are problems, it's very easy for us to go back to previous working configurations. The company's technical support is also a valuable aspect. 

We don't have any issues with the product and as long as they continue giving good service it's fine for us. The price is competitive, and we use our online interface only and don't go through a GUI.

We don't have any pain points. 

I've been using the solution for six years.  

It's a very stable product. 

It's scalable.

I'm very satisfied with the technical support. 

We previously used Norton but switched a while ago. 

The initial setup of switches is not that simple, but my team is made up of technical people so we understood it very fast.

We implemented it with an in-house team. We have a very big network, there were roughly around 80, 85 switches and firewall and core switches. In total, implementation took somewhere between six to eight weeks.

My advice is regarding switches. If someone is deploying switches in a critical environment, they should go for Juniper switches.

I would rate this product a nine out of 10. 

We provide network solutions to our clients and Juniper Ethernet Switches are one of the devices that we install and configure for them. We are certified by Juniper to work with these switches.

This solution makes up part of the physical network.

We had one big project where we had to deploy Juniper switches with a firewall.

The GUI interface distinguishes it from other vendors and makes it easy to operate.

Juniper switches are quick and easy to configure. Depending on the requirements, you only have to configure two or three parameters.

The operational efficiency of these devices is good.

This solution has a lot of features that allow it to be configured in different ways that are suitable in any type of network.

The physical unit is compact.

In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking.

The coding can be simplified a little bit.

We have been working with Juniper Ethernet Switches for about a year and a half.

In terms of stability, we have not had any trouble. One of the solutions that we deployed about a year and a half ago is intact and still working perfectly.

We have had no issues with scalability.

I have never contacted technical support directly because I haven't had any serious issues. When I need support, I look at the community forums on the website. There is a chat function on the website, which is very helpful.

We use and supply products by many different vendors because we are project-oriented, and not tied to any one particular vendor. Some of the other vendors are Cisco and Huawei.

The licensing costs for Cisco are higher.

Configuring this solution requires that you understand the core concept of programming. Everything that you need to do has to be programmed. For example, in the C programing language, you define a class. So here, once you understand the protocol logic, it is very easy to configure.

If you know what to do then the deployment is quick. It may take a couple of days.

In general, I cannot find anything that is bad about this product.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for our data center.

The switches are pretty typical. They offer good control and good switching.

We're currently in the process of switching to Cisco as we haven't been too happy with Juniper.

We are undergoing a migration to software-defined networking. Different vendors have to integrate with each other and we are not seeing this type of capability within Juniper. We are getting left behind in this technology trend by staying with this solution. Juniper is also losing a bit of market share because of this. 

I've been using the solution for between five and ten years.

The stability is good.

The scalability is excellent. It's one of the aspects of the solution that is quite good.

Technical support is not so good. Sometimes we contact them, but they don't offer the best service.

The initial setup is straightforward. I joined the company after deployment, so I'm not sure how long it takes.

We use the on-premises deployment model.

I'd rate the solution no more than seven out of ten.
