We performed a comparison between HPE 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 HPE Ethernet switches have very low latency."
"We can easily replace components without incurring significant costs in an error or failure."
"I'm a power user, so reliability is crucial. The HPE equipment hasn't failed on me, unlike some other brands like Huawei, which I find more sensitive."
"They are affordable and very stable. They also have good performance."
"The initial setup of this solution is easy."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I would rate the stability a solid ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the IRF."
"It's easy to use."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Both Juniper and Cisco switches are interoperable."
"One of the most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches is they are rugged."
"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."
"The platform is very stable in terms of consistency and reliability."
"Juniper EX Series is part of the Junos operating system and has a candidate configuration feature, which means changes are not immediately applied. It has a consistent command structure across all platforms and can handle both layer-three routing and layer-two switching. Additionally, the Junos OS offers virtualization options and support for multi-chassis and fabric switching. Overall, the Juniper EX Series is a versatile and powerful solution."
"I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10 for scalability."
"The scalability is limited."
"In the next release, I would like to see them include more features like the Aruba solution, to have more possibilities concerning the software design."
"They should continue to work on new features."
"It's gone up in price in the last 12 months."
"Some users might look for high-speed switching like Cisco or Nexus switches, which can handle larger volumes. HPE's current offerings aren't as robust in that area, but they could improve."
"This solution needs to support software-defined networking."
"The VLAN tagging could be improved,"
"The only improvement I can think of is that it could be better with less updates."
"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 are undergoing a migration to software-defined networking. Different vendors have to integrate with each other and we are not seeing this type of capability within Juniper. We are getting left behind in this technology trend by staying with this solution. Juniper is also losing a bit of market share because of this."
"The solution is a bit costly compared to other products."
"Juniper should improve the support services provided to users, as it is one of its areas with certain shortcomings."
"The durability of the devices could be better."
"The updates are constantly breaking."
"The technical support from Juniper Ethernet Switches could be better."
"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."
