User Testimonials
	Juniper EX Series Switches
Likelihood to Recommend	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	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	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Juniper Networks The Juniper EX Series Switches are very easy to configure and quick to deploy. The ability to make changes and troubleshoot issues is top-rated. I have never had trouble contacting support. They also have many knowledge articles on use. Always adding new features to the Juniper Mist Dashboard for easy visibility into your network Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Juniper Networks 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. Incentivized CB Craig Brady Senior Systems Analyst Read full review

Return on Investment	Juniper Networks From a user's point of view, the ease of configuration and management has been incredible. Much less time is spent maintaining Juniper than previous solutions. From a reseller's point of a view, Juniper is excellent. They treat small partners like us very well even if our volume is not huge. Juniper switches are part of our standard solution that has been great for our customers. Incentivized Randy Carpenter Vice President Read full review
