"There is a feature where you can use Bluetooth. You can set up a Bluetooth pairing connection and do the configuration through your phone."
"Aruba's SameNet platform allows for a seamless transition from the data center to access switches, unlike Cisco, which has different operating systems for each."
"The most valuable features are the access point, fire control for clients, majority control, platform control in SSIGF, WiFi networking, and area monitoring."
"The Aruba care support and the lifetime warranty are very valuable aspects."
"All of the networking products that we use are Aruba, so we use Aruba Central to manage them."
"The solution is very stable."
"The feature I like the most is the ability to reword changes before committing to the change. We can always reword changes in 10 minutes if they don't work."
"Juniper switches are smart and we have all the features that we want. You can rollback to the previous version if you make any mistake during configuration. This is not possible in Cisco."
"It is easy to configure, and there are three routing switches."
"Juniper is the best when it comes to the core layer."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"It's pretty good as compared to other vendors."
"What I like most about this solution is that it is secure."
"It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"Aruba Switches cover lots of areas and support automated and IOPS and with the central products, but I think when we look at the solutions overall, IOPS devices are not covered so much in Aruba Central. We are in Croatia and it is a small country, I don't know how its situation is in Europe, America, or Asia."
"It would be better and easier for us to buy if the price were reduced."
"Aruba's management suite has some room for improvement."
"From an improvement perspective, I want Aruba Switches to have a longer life since it doesn't work properly after five years of use."
"There is room for improvement in the customer service and support team."
"We had an issue with the hardware where one or two interfaces went down after one and a half years. This issue impacted only one or two interfaces, not the whole hardware."
"There is an issue with Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), but it is escaping me. We aren't using this feature yet, but it is something we are considering."
"The biggest issue right now is the delivery timeline. It takes too long to get the product."
"I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems."
"They should integrate VPN functionality with the solution."
"The price could be a bit lower."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"The tool should improve its fabric."
"Juniper EX Series could improve the process and ease of updating the software. It is a difficult process."
"The initial setup of switches is not that simple."
"There are multiple areas of improvement in Juniper EX series switches. In terms of speed and pricing, while Juniper provides good quality services, some clients still find the price very high compared to other competitors. Also there is a need for certain features to be enhanced like clear our configuration process which will help to make Juniper switches more stronger. However, there are also multiple challenges including understanding and configuration of certain aspects difficult without assistance. Despite these kinds of challenges, there have been multiple solutions and huge potential of improvement in Juniper."
