HPE Networking Comware / FlexFabric Switches vs. Juniper EX Series Switches

The switch is intuitive and very simple to configure so I would recommend it to anyone for their data center. It allows for someone who might just be a server expert and not a switching expert to have a far simpler time than would normally be expected.

Juniper EX Series Switches are well suited for my environment (school system) and my staff who don't have a lot of experience in configuring and troubleshooting all the various switches and platforms. Juniper EX Series Switches have been a real blessing to us. Everything I need to do with them is easy to learn and I've experiences no problems with them not behaving properly.

• SCSI support.
• No additional license to unlock features.
• High availability.

• Commit Confirmed - saves lots of headache and possibly travel if a remote goes awry
• Stacking - switches can be stacked together easily with regular network cables, using any port
• L3 routing on any switch model, even BGP with the right license

• Virtual chassis new switch has overwritten existing config if not performed in a particular way.
• Applying a configuration to a range of interfaces could be done in a better way.
• Applying firewall rules to multiple security zones could be done a little more efficiently.

I can't speak highly enough. It requires no prior networking ability to succeed using these switches. The Mist console makes it so anyone with a technical side can use them efficiently. The configuration copies over easily. A Juniper EX4100 switch can literally just be plugged into power and an ethernet cable and work. Add the code to the Mist and you can see what you need to see

Many times when contacting Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches support, it seems that it is easiest for support to recommend a straight replacement (RMA) instead of taking time to walk through a solution on the faulty system. We find we get better help from a third-party consulting firm that has Juniper certified technicians or professionals on staff. They take the time to explain processes and workflow, which Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches support seems to shy away from.

Similar cloud platform to manage switches and able to update everything there. Going from on-prem config back up to the cloud doesn’t work as well in either place. They want you to manage in the cloud only but no good way to push from on-premises to cloud and update that way.

• Price of Juniper for the performance is much better than the other leading vendor.
• I have had minimal problems which frees me to focus on other areas.
• Mist is intuitive and comes with free training. My Junior network admins were able to get up to speed quickly.
