User Testimonials
	Extreme Networks Wired Access - Switches	Juniper Contrail Networking
Likelihood to Recommend	Extreme Networks If you have a big environment with a lot of edge switch needs and department groups, then Extreme's fabric connect can save a lot of management time. If your environment is small then you may want to stick with the traditional model since fabric connect costs more. Also if you make lots of configuration changes all the time then fabric connect will be helpful. Otherwise, making an occasional change you don't need fabric connect.

Support Rating	Extreme Networks There hasn't been a single problem with the code or hardware that hasn't been resolved in a timely fashion. You get technicians who know the product and who will work with you to get things fixed. That being said, I never ran into a problem with Cisco tech support either. I love that both groups were willing to teach me as they fixed things. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Juniper Networks No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Extreme Networks Foundry, HP, Cisco, Brocade. Extreme performance is equivalent or better without the price tag added just for their name Incentivized DT Darren Tingey Technology Director Read full review	Juniper Networks The platforms are very similar in networking concepts, at the interface level I found it easier to use Juniper Contrail than Cisco ACI. And at the cost level, I think it is cheaper. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Extreme Networks Extreme [Ethernet Switches] have a long-life. You can easily get 7 years in main production life depending on when you buy in the product life-cycle. Extreme [Ethernet Switches] are expensive, no doubt, but we also don't have "weird" network problems or other issues with the network randomly going down. If you use fabric connect switches then the ease of managing many switches is of no concern.
