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…

Has provided reliable performance with useful features such as virtual chassis and high port density
The important thing for our use case of Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches has been reliability, and there are features such as the Virtual Chassis feature, which is one of the things we use. In our case, we use them as core switches in a network that is not very large, and their reliability and the Virtual Chassis feature work well for us. It was one of the reasons we chose it, along with the port density; we are using the 32 port and the 48 port, which work for our needs. Regarding its security features such as MACsec encryption, they are standard and cover what we want; we do not do a lot as they are just Layer 2 switches, but it has standard security features.

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 virtual Chassis feature for stacking is good in general, with high bandwidth for the link, which is good."
"The most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches are the simple configuration and ruggedness."
"The ease of management through the command line interface is very good."
"The security is 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."
"The important thing for our use case of Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches has been reliability, and there are features such as the Virtual Chassis feature, which is one of the things we use."
"I chose Juniper as my primary vendor because it is very stable, reliable, and the price is lower than competitors."
"One of the most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches is they are rugged."
 

Cons

"In some configurations, I am unable to use two switches as one and it causes some problems."
"It would be nice to have a more available list of modules that you can get for this solution."
"The updates are constantly breaking."
"All Juniper documentation is terrible."
"Juniper should consider reducing its pricing."
"The initial setup for Juniper switches is complex. Juniper has a new program that solves that problem a little bit, but it is expensive, so I don't use it. It is Juniper Mesh, Juniper Wire, or something like that where you plug in a switch, and it goes out to their cloud, finds a config, and brings it down. So, you can do everything cloud-based, but there is a fee for that. It is expensive, so I've never used it. If we were starting, we would try to do something like that. It is more for a large enterprise for managing hundreds of switches versus what we're doing. They should make its price more cost-effective or include it for new or smaller companies."
"The price could be a bit lower."
"We need to start seeing some kind of AI to assist with some of what we really want to accomplish from a policy standpoint to achieve better efficiency."
"Has a steep learning curve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is fair."
"It's was $100,000 per year."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches could be less expensive. There is not a license needed to use the solution."
"Juniper costs less than the competition. As a comparison, Cisco is 33% more."
"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."
"We purchased the box for a one-time charge, and we are paying a yearly support fee of several hundred Euros."
"This solution is cheaper than Cisco or HP switches."
"The maintenance cost is approximately €2,000 ($2,200 USD) per year, including support, for our entire fleet."
"We don't need to pay for the solution's features."

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…
