Secure, easy to use, and dashboard works well

I use this solution with VxRail I have found some of the key features of the solution are it can be configured similar to Cisco, it is secure, easy to use, and the dashboard works well. In some configurations, I am unable to use two switches as one and it causes some problems. In the future, I…

Principal Network Architect at LeaseWeb

Provides campus switches and access switches that are simple to deploy, but the code isn't stable enough for a leaf and spine design

If we're building a data center and have Juniper, we have hundreds of Juniper switches in a leaf and spine design architecture, and it's horrible. Sometimes after an upgrade, half of the even port can't be detected. They don't recognize third-party SFPs, and now they claim that they don't support that anymore. There are a lot of issues with the hardware and software. Juniper needs to get their code up to par because it isn't stable enough for a leaf and spine design. If you have over 10,000 VMs or Mac addresses, it doesn't scale. I would love Juniper to have more stable features, hardware, and code. We have so many tickets open with Juniper. The switch reboot doesn't detect the port. About 80% of my problems aren't engineering problems, but are Juniper's problems. In comparison, Arista gives me 10% of the problems that Juniper gives me when it comes to hardware and software. It's falling behind compared to Palo Alto because of its features. Juniper's campus switches and data center switches for the leaf and spine design for the overlay and underlay is horrible. I wouldn't recommend that anyone use Juniper fabric, because there are so many problems, issues, and features that aren't supported.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I have found some of the key features of the solution are it can be configured similar to Cisco, it is secure, easy to use, and the dashboard works well."

"The platform is very stable in terms of consistency and reliability."

"This is a lower cost product with better features than the competition."

"The virtual Chassis feature for stacking is good in general, with high bandwidth for the link, which is good."

"The Virtual Chassis, because you have a centralized administration of a set of switches which makes the operation more efficient."

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

"It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."

"The performance is very good."

"The most valuable feature is that the CLI is the same on all of the Juniper devices, including routers, switches, and firewalls."

Cons

"In some configurations, I am unable to use two switches as one and it causes some problems."

"They could provide better security tools."

"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."

"I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems."

"The technical support from Juniper Ethernet Switches could be better."

"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."

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

"Some areas of technical support could be better."

"It was very difficult to get technical support, here in Egypt. There is no local support available."

More Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is fair."

"You don't need to license every switch. We only chose to cover support on core/key equipment and keep a cold spare available when needed."

"It's was $100,000 per year."

"Juniper Ethernet Switches are cheaper than Cisco or HP."

"We had a leakage in the support process and decided to end the product's life in order to purchase a new product with support. We did not renew product support as a result."

"Support prices and licensing scheme need to be improved to allow some features to be purchased at lower costs, for example, RPM."

"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."

"The pricing of Juniper Ethernet Switches compared to equivalent switches from Aruba, Cisco, and others, Juniper Ethernet Switches are priced a little higher. They are approximately 20 to 50 percent higher. When we receive a new range of models, the prices can come down. The price can also vary by region."

"For the QFX5000 Juniper switches, the price is about $10,000, but they would probably sell it for $1,000. Nobody can beat Juniper's pricing when it comes to switches. Juniper out-prices everybody, but they get you on the back end, maintenance, service port, and service contract."

Benefits of Juniper vs Cisco

Both are decent products. I prefer Juniper for the following reasons: 1) Cleaner separation of data plane from control plane. Higher end Cisco devices are better at this but most of the lower end products still seem to be more integrated than I like. 2) The Hierarchical config design means I can…
