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 solution is easy to set up and easy to use, unlike, for example, Cisco, which is more complex."
"I would rate the stability a solid ten out of ten."
"You can scale the product as needed."
"The HPE Ethernet switches have very low latency."
"The solution offers lifetime warranties."
"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."
"The technical support for this solution has improved from what it was."
"The performance is great."
"The GUI interface distinguishes it from other vendors and makes it easy to operate."
"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."
"It is easy to configure, and there are three routing switches."
"You willuse almost every feature on every switch to some degree because the utility is valuable."
"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."
"I like the simplicity of it."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' most valuable feature is the Juniper-Mist cloud, which facilitates management of the switches and access points."
"Juniper switches are very good with MPLS."
"The scalability is limited."
"I would also like to see a more centralized private management console for the series of devices. Most solutions are adopting centralized cloud-based management, but my client base believes cloud solutions are too insecure. You've got a few dozen switches, so it would be nice to have the ability to manage them on a "single pane of glass.""
"We haven't had any issues with this switch in the past 10 years. That's the reason we're still keeping them alive."
"We have had some rare occasions with glitches, so the stability can be improved."
"The solution is very comparable to Huawei, however, it could be more scalable. Huawei is easier to scale."
"The solution could be more stable."
"Configuration can be complex."
"HPE Ethernet Switches must ensure that the updates and patching are done regularly. When we have new software updates, we can resolve issues quickly."
"The management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."
"The management platforms for the network need improvement."
"The stability of this solution should be improved."
"Stability could be better, especially during a reboot. We have had some issues recently with the software getting corrupt on reboot, which causes a lot of downtime."
"All Juniper documentation is terrible."
"The difficulty of the installation of Juniper Ethernet Switches depends on the environment it is being implemented in. It is fairly straightforward in terms of being able to source the technical information as we need it. However, this process could improve."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches lack to offer the latest management tools."
"Juniper EX Series could improve the process and ease of updating the software. It is a difficult process."
