We performed a comparison between Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches and MikroTik Routers and Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"I like the VLAN capabilities, and the Junos interface is easy to use."
"Juniper supports all our connectivity infrastructure in our datacenter, supporting optimal availability and performance for services."
"The virtual Chassis feature for stacking is good in general, with high bandwidth for the link, which is good."
"This solution is impeccable."
"Juniper is the best when it comes to the core layer."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' most valuable feature is the Juniper-Mist cloud, which facilitates management of the switches and access points."
"The MikroTik Hotspot is great."
"These routers and switches are very stable."
"The product is very reliable."
"It's great for small businesses or home offices."
"The solution offers very good multi-routing."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. You can typically set them up in about 30 minutes."
"I use the tool to block external attempts."
"One of the primary advantages is its competitive pricing in the market."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve in the EX 2300 model because it does not support IPsec VPN. Only the models at 3400 or higher support it. Additionally, there is a need for support for Mac which is lacking. Some of their competitors, such as Cisco, support Mac."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"The price could be a bit lower."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking."
"The initial setup for Juniper switches is complex. Juniper has a new program that solves that problem a little bit, but it is expensive, so I don't use it. It is Juniper Mesh, Juniper Wire, or something like that where you plug in a switch, and it goes out to their cloud, finds a config, and brings it down. So, you can do everything cloud-based, but there is a fee for that. It is expensive, so I've never used it. If we were starting, we would try to do something like that. It is more for a large enterprise for managing hundreds of switches versus what we're doing. They should make its price more cost-effective or include it for new or smaller companies."
"It would be nice to have a more available list of modules that you can get for this solution."
"We would like it if there was more security added in future releases."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"If the client wants bigger capacity, there may be some issues. That is, there may be issues with scalability."
"I would like to have the option of having multiple logins."
"There needs to be better support for this solution in India. We have no local support."
"The queuing functionality needs improvement. The initial setup could be simplified."
"The manageability of the web-based UI needs to be improved."
"I would appreciate enhancements to impose more restrictions on VPN connections."
"If the reporting functionality of the solution is considered, I think it is not good."
"The updates as well as the patches could be improved. I believe it would be beneficial to automate the process of router patching to avoid the need for manual checks. With automated patching, as long as the router is connected to the internet, it can automatically perform necessary updates. Failing to patch the router can leave me vulnerable to potential security threats."
