Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches Reviews

From the technology point of view quality, design, and look-and-feel is good. Network administrators can easily manage and configure these network switches. I have easily configured an L3 switch to create a network campus backbone. Low maintenance required. No certification (CCNA, CCIE) is required to become a network administrator to set up a Juniper network.

During price negotiation we found that price is high compared to other switches. High price is obstructing sales in market. I felt that on-site and telephone support is not satisfactory.

Whether a feature is valuable really depends on what you need. The features you enable depends on the requirement. Juniper switches are very good with MPLS. I haven't tried EVPN on them. They've got Virtual Chassis Fabric, which seems okay.

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.

 I'm not sure whether EVPN-VXLAN DCI is supported today on these switches. If it's not, then that's something Juniper could add. They support EVPN, but I'm still not sure about the DCI part. I probably need to understand how that is implemented to figure out if it's supported. 

I've used Juniper Ethernet Switches for about six years.

I think Juniper support is good. They're responsive, so I can't really complain.

I believe Juniper is a lot cheaper than Cisco. Their price isn't that high if I recall correctly. I believe it's reasonable compared to Cisco, so I think they are good on the price end.

I rate Juniper Ethernet Switches Seven out of 10.

Juniper is a very powerful open-source operating system. You are able to do routing and other tasks using the switches. I was using Juniper Ethernet Switches for a hotspot network.

The combination of hardware and software makes it a very good solution. It is a modern protocol that they have supported in the switches. The solution has good performance.

I have been using this solution for a few months.

The solution is highly stable.

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

We have approximately 90 users using this solution.

The configuration of the solution could be easier. We had to do the configuration through the command-line interface. However, we are using an older version and the newer versions could be better with a graphical interface.

The solution does not require a license to use it.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Juniper Ethernet Switches a nine out of ten.

On-premises

We use it for switching.

I like that it's fairly easy to implement these ethernet switches.

Stability could be better, especially during a reboot. We have had some issues recently with the software getting corrupt on reboot, which causes a lot of downtime.

I have been using Juniper Ethernet Switches for a few years.

Stability could be improved, especially during a reboot. It seems like the firmware gets corrupted pretty easily.

We used HPE Switches before using Juniper Ethernet Switches.

The initial setup and installation are fairly straightforward.

A small team of in-house technicians implemented Juniper Ethernet Switches.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Juniper Ethernet Switches a six.

We use this solution for the firewall and switching.

I like the simplicity of it.

The upgrade procedures could be better. 

The upgrading of the system should be simplified and made faster.

In the next release, I would like to see them maintain the stability.

We have been using Juniper Ethernet Switches for seven years.

We are using the latest version.

It is absolutely stable.

It's a scalable solution. We have approximately 200 users in our organization.

We plan to continue using Juniper Ethernet Switches.

I have not contacted technical support directly. We always go through the supplier.

We have only used Juniper.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The installation takes an hour per switch.

It takes a team of three admins to maintain this solution.

We did not use an integrator or vendor. I completed the implementation myself.

We only pay for support.

It's not expensive.

I would totally recommend Juniper Ethernet Switches to others who are interested in using them.

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

On-premises

We have done big projects with the solution. We use the solution for the data center and the access layer features.

The product is very helpful in troubleshooting. Debugging is quite interesting and very helpful.

The solution is a bit costly compared to other products.

I have been using the solution for the last three to four years.

The tool is more expensive than its competitors.

Technically, I do not see any drawbacks in the tool compared to its competitors. I would recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

On-premises

We use the product in data centers. 

The tool's most valuable feature is stability. 

Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches is not cheap. The tool needs improvement in UI. 

The tool is very stable. 

Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches' scalability is high. 

I rate the tool's deployment a ten out of ten. 

I rate Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches a ten out of ten.
