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…

Virtual chassis technology enhances connectivity and simplifies management
Juniper EX series switches offer great technology, particularly their Virtual Chassis technology, which is an excellent feature for stacking switches and functions like a single virtual switch. The EX series provides a separation of control, management, and data planes, reducing the attack surface area, ensuring a lesser extent of vulnerability. The PoE budget is commendable, and they manage connectivity effectively.

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."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"What I like most about this solution is that it is secure."
"It's pretty good as compared to other vendors."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The security is good."
"High-performance and reliable, easy to manage and configure, advanced security features, scalable and flexible and rock-solid uptime and availability."
"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."
"Improvements can be made in the web user interface and web management."
"The tool should improve its fabric."
"Juniper's support could be much better and faster."
"We are not very pleased with their performance."
"We would like it if there was more security added in future releases."
"All Juniper documentation is terrible."
"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."
"I have found the scalability could be improved in the version I was using."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is fair."
"The initial cost of the solution can be expensive."
"The pricing is very aggressive."
"Juniper costs less than the competition. As a comparison, Cisco is 33% more."
"The product's pricing is less and almost half of Cisco's."
"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."
"Support prices and licensing scheme need to be improved to allow some features to be purchased at lower costs, for example, RPM​."
"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."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches could be less expensive. There is not a license needed to use the solution."

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…
