User Testimonials
	Infinera Cloud Xpress	Juniper EX Series Switches
Likelihood to Recommend	Infinera No answers on this topic	Juniper Networks They work great as core switches, data center switches, top of rack switches. They can even serve as routers, their routing capability is great, except for where you need lots of routing processing power. I would not use many of them for branch office switches though, due to noise and slowness of bootup Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Infinera No answers on this topic	Juniper Networks Very stable. Cost efficient Easy management Great Juniper 24*7 TAC support Different variants available for different requirements. Easy to replace faulty hardware Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Infinera No answers on this topic	Juniper Networks 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.

Usability	Infinera No answers on this topic	Juniper Networks The Mist portal is extremely easy to use. I only have a few issues with it. The configuration between Mist and the CLI is not uniform. If you push some command line configurations to the switch, they won't be mirrored in Mist. You need to use the CLI portion on the switch config page to push some CLI only configurations. If you want to remove those lines, you need remember to do the inverse of the config. You need to make sure your juniper admins understand this as well. Simply removing the line from the CLI text box of the Mist page does not remove the config line from the switch itself. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Infinera No answers on this topic	Juniper Networks When you open ticket, normally a L2 support engineer request support file and give you a valid fast solution. They replace switch if no solution are available due to minimize downtime Incentivized Diego Carmignani IT Infrastructure Coordinator Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Infinera No answers on this topic	Juniper Networks Juniper EX Switches are far more reliable than NETGEAR Ethernet Switches. The Juniper EX Series Switches offer a wider scope of options for configuration. The EX switches can be deployed faster and easier to configure. The Juniper EX Series Switches offer more value for their price point than most switches on the market, in my opinion Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Infinera No answers on this topic	Juniper Networks The Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches have provided a life span beyond what our replacement cycle allots, which allows us to have more time to budget for replacements. The initial purchase price is very competitive with other enterprise network switching companies. Incentivized CB Craig Brady Senior Systems Analyst Read full review
