We performed a comparison between Broadcom StrataConnect and Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."They have some of the fastest speeds available."
"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."
"The Virtual Chassis, because you have a centralized administration of a set of switches which makes the operation more efficient."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"The most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches are the simple configuration and ruggedness."
"You willuse almost every feature on every switch to some degree because the utility is valuable."
"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."
"The platform is very stable in terms of consistency and reliability."
"We have multiple cases of the customers trying to upgrade their network from Cisco, Aruba and Huawei to Juniper. They do this basically because they want to modernise their network and have an increased capacity. This shift improves their functionality because the Juniper Ethernet switches are more advanced. We provide them with assistance to configure switches, access points and Wi-Fi."
"Broadcom's biggest issue is that they don't like to share information."
"Has a steep learning curve."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve in the EX 2300 model because it does not support IPsec VPN. Only the models at 3400 or higher support it. Additionally, there is a need for support for Mac which is lacking. Some of their competitors, such as Cisco, support Mac."
"We need to start seeing some kind of AI to assist with some of what we really want to accomplish from a policy standpoint to achieve better efficiency."
"Wireless and monitoring definitely could be improved."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"Jupiter Switches' configuration is a little difficult to understand."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"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."
