Comprehensive management tools and robust performance drive network efficiency
Juniper QFX Series Switches are very good data center switches, and they are the core part of their fabric. It's a very good solution with excellent performance. They are easy to use and flexible to deploy in any kind of environment. The Juniper QFX Series Switches is not one switch. When building a fabric, multiple switches must be implemented, including spine, leaf, and other components. Regarding working in a data center environment, they are feature-rich. They work with EVPN solutions, providing a Layer 3 fabric, which is a very good capability. AI is not an integral part right now, so it should not be discussed here.

Greatly simplifies troubleshooting; remote access to the router is a huge time saver
The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents. I can always call technical support and ask them if I forget something and I'll get the support, but I shouldn't need to do that. Anything can be improved and unfortunately a good switch is not cheap but there's no choice if you need a special router.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I do see a return on investment with Juniper QFX Series Switches because I can use this device for a long time, and it's still very stable until now."
"The QFX series is a good choice for large data centers, particularly for Spine-Leaf architectures."
"Support is good and customer-friendly"
"EVPN-VXLAN feature offers the most benefits."
"It's a stable solution."
"Juniper QFX Series Switches provide a great platform for all of our requirements and are easy to use."
"Juniper QFX Series Switches are very good data center switches, and they are the core part of their fabric."
"It's really easy to replicate rules. It's the one that I've used; it was CLI-based. You can implement a large set of rules with CLI. You can just copy a script and add additional changes to the source and destination on the part. And so it's easy to do large zone-based rules."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
 

Cons

"It is very costly."
"I don't think there's any improvement needed on Juniper QFX Series Switches, but I would like to see other cheaper plans for the license on the QFX series."
"Integrating QFX switches was the first point of challenge."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model. It is too high."
"I faced issues with the deployment and upgrade. In the QFX5110 series, features like ISSU and DSSQ should be improved. Upgrades should be smoother."
"Sometimes parts are not available in stock, then you have to wait for replacement time."
"There have been some issues sometimes. When you upgrade the device, it doesn't come up. It gets stuck."
"The price could be cheaper."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"While the solution is good for the light commercial market or for the residential market, it's not ideal for the commercial market, for example, a big enterprise or data center."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is expensive."
"The solution is cheap, especially compared to competitors like Cisco."
"The price of Juniper QFX Series Switches is expensive because we are running some enterprise hardware. However, they are less expensive than Cisco or HPE hardware."
"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
