Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The setup phase was straightforward."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"It is very valuable for SRX devices and we have found it very easy to configure."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"The ease of management through the command line interface is very good."
"The solution has a high level of network functionality."
"Juniper EX Series is part of the Junos operating system and has a candidate configuration feature, which means changes are not immediately applied. It has a consistent command structure across all platforms and can handle both layer-three routing and layer-two switching. Additionally, the Junos OS offers virtualization options and support for multi-chassis and fabric switching. Overall, the Juniper EX Series is a versatile and powerful solution."
"The solution is certainly scalable."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and configuration. It has a cloud-based configuration that makes it easy."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The technical support is very good. They offer some of the best support on the market."
"We have no problem with technical support from Cisco."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to segment my infrastructure between phones, security systems, and other tasks."
"The initial setup is simple."
"We find value in its ability to enable cloud management and visibility. They are also easy to deploy. It's very convenient because you can see who is accessing, what type of UI system they're using, what applications they're using, the bandwidth, and more."
"Being able to look at every port and see what it is connected to is very useful. Everything seems to be running really well. They've got everything covered. They have a really cool mounting system at the bottom and an access point that you can use to level up your device. It is kind of cool."
"Juniper EX Series could improve the process and ease of updating the software. It is a difficult process."
"Its distribution channel and the ease of availability should be improved."
"The operating system could be better."
"The price is in the intermediate range. It is not overly expensive, but also not cheap. It could stand improvement."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' tech support is hard to reach and slow."
"The price could be a bit lower."
"The management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."
"The operating system, Junos OS, often has bugs which forces rollbacks or additional upgrades to resolve."
"The pricing can be made cheaper."
"It is not compliant with the requirements of specific industries that want to set it up within a particular region or country."
"It could be more advanced and secure. Meraki MS Switches are ideal for a mid-sized enterprise. But you can't work with this appliance if you need more security or want to do complex or advanced things. Technical support could be better."
"Clients are very confused by technical support. They seem to have trouble reaching Meraki to get the assistance they need."
"It might be perceived as more of a niche product, partly due to its name, as it's still not entirely recognized by the market."
"The quote-building process is challenging and it needs to be simplified."
"In this solution, you are lacking a feature that Cisco Classic has that allows you to save your configuration with a serial cable."
"At times, we didn't know whether the switch was operating or not so we have to take the console and we have to do some troubleshooting."
