I haven't compared any other data center switches with the Cisco Nexus switches. This is because[,] in my opinion, Cisco Nexus switches are a go to, no-brainer decision for anyone who has the funds to purchase these switches. I'm sure there are other similar Juniper switches that I just haven't tried yet, but Cisco Nexus in my opinion [is] the way to go.
