We performed a comparison between Brocade Ethernet Switches and Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"The switches last for a very long time."
"The reliability of Brocade is the most valuable feature. The solution has been up and running for over ten years without any fail, fixes required, or breakdowns. It is a very strong piece of equipment."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"There's a zone for each server and services in the storage."
"The most valuable feature of Brocade Ethernet Switches is the good range of access it provides."
"The technical support is good."
"It has good integration with HPE Primera. They have smart zoning in which the administration is very easy. You don't have to do anything. Zoning and other things are done automatically if you just enable the smart zoning. That's one very good thing in HP."
"The performance is very good."
"The GUI interface distinguishes it from other vendors and makes it easy to operate."
"The ease of management through the command line interface is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Ethernet Switches is the public remote configuration option. If you make a mistake in the configuration you can roll it back to the previous configuration automatically after a set time frame increment, such as five or more minutes. In all the other competitors once you press to enter the new configuration is already written in. You cannot roll it back automatically."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The Virtual Chassis, because you have a centralized administration of a set of switches which makes the operation more efficient."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Junos operating system."
"Both Juniper and Cisco switches are interoperable."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"There are some performance issues."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches could improve by having better compatibility with web management of older versions."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches need a better interface and centralized management."
"No graphical interface."
"The solution could be more secure."
"In an upcoming release, Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve by having more microservices."
"The packet channelizing feature should be improved."
"Their web GUI interface needs to be a lot better, especially when compared to HP. The command line is good, but you have to know how to get around it. The GUI is clunky and very slow."
"It was very difficult to get technical support, here in Egypt. There is no local support available."
"Juniper EX Series could improve the process and ease of updating the software. It is a difficult process."
"The upgrading of the system should be simplified and made faster."
"The tool should improve its fabric."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
