Scalable, stable and easy to install, with good tech support
Pros and Cons
- "The solution is stable."
- "It would be nice if Juniper provided the system integrator with training, similar to that of Cisco."
What is our primary use case?
What needs improvement?
It would be nice if Juniper provided the system integrator with training, similar to that of Cisco. This is very important. People the world over talk about Cisco. I worked for Juniper for approximately two-and-a-half years, from 2011 to 2013. If Juniper would follow the route of Cisco, I believe its market share would increase, as the switches are stable and scalability exists. Absent this, it faces a challenge when going up against such competitors as Cisco. Juniper's market system is driven down by the systems integrators and end users not having familiarity with the systems they use.
As such, there is a need for more training documentation and integration with Cisco.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Juniper QFabric for around five or six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable.
