The Juniper EX Series Switches platform is far superior for me personally. The reliability has also been top notch - equal to Cisco in my experience and far superior to any of the other switches I've worked with. I would call them equal to Cisco on reliability but they exceed …
Chose Juniper EX Series Switches
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.
Chose Juniper EX Series Switches
Juniper is much better than Cisco. Especially when it comes to price for performance. I can do the same thing with a Juniper switch and a Cisco switch at the same power-level. It cost much less to run the Juniper switch. I also have the Mist dashboard which provides incredible …

Juniper is a pretty good competitor compared with these lines. It has the easiest CLI and they are very easy to manage. The most amazing thing about [the] Juniper EX line is [that] they are pretty stable as compared to the other vendors. Also [another] thing is that they have …
Chose Juniper EX Series Switches
In terms of performance and quality, Juniper EX switches are at the top of the line. I've been impressed with their uptime, features and quality. I find their CLI to be more difficult than Cisco or HPE Aruba, however like anything, one picks it up with time. Our network is in …
Chose Juniper EX Series Switches
Juniper EX Series Switches are more cost-effective than the others listed. The command line (JunOS) is easier to use and navigate. We are not on the hook for licensing each switch. We can choose a certain number of switches (models) from our fleet to cover for support and keep …
Chose Juniper EX Series Switches
The rollback, commit and confirm are the biggest players in the game. Juniper is the only one who has those features, so I believe they have a leg up in the game. The CLI is one of the easiest to work with.
Chose Juniper EX Series Switches
Juniper switches are more flexible than Cisco, as I mentioned before. The commit confirmed feature helps a lot. At the time of the purchase, they offered a significantly lower price and more features for the price than Cisco. Avaya/Nortel switches have such terrible interface …

Juniper EX Series Switches
Likelihood to Recommend
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

Pros
  • Configuration is light years beyond everyone else. The structure of the config file and the commit/confirm/rollback features are critical.
  • Juniper Support is excellent and affordable.
  • The variety of models is enough to cater to particular needs, but there is not a dizzying array of options like other vendors.
  • JunOS operating system is the same across all platforms, greatly simplifying administration.

Cons
  • 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
Easy to use once you create your templates. Stacking is easy by creating a virtual chassis and everything shows up under one pane per switch. Showing LLDP or CDP on each port is really good so you can determine the device. Insights in to connectivity issues could be better and provide more info.

Support Rating
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.

The reliability has also been top notch - equal to Cisco in my experience and far superior to any of the other switches I've worked with. I would call them equal to Cisco on reliability but they exceed Cisco in other metrics such as ease of use and design.
