We performed a comparison between Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches and Ubiquiti UniFi 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."You willuse almost every feature on every switch to some degree because the utility is valuable."
"The GUI interface distinguishes it from other vendors and makes it easy to operate."
"The scalability is excellent. It's one of the aspects of the solution that is quite good."
"It's easy to use."
"Juniper Switches' best feature is its flexibility."
"The most valuable feature is that Juniper is multiple kernels, so there's isolation, which means you won't get a process that runs away, creating problems across the whole platform."
"There is no end to the ability to scale Juniper."
"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."
"UniFi Switches' best feature is the ability to switch voltage from 24 to 48, and it's almost the only device on the market with this feature."
"Because it's a managed switch, I have the ability to set controls and configure traffic priorities, VLAN ports, etc."
"I would gladly recommend Ubiquiti UniFi Switches."
"The integration with the controller is one of the most valuable features of these switches. They are also very stable. For example, we have some equipment that we haven't touched for four years that is still reliable."
"The switches' PoE capabilities have made device deployment very easy."
"The value here with using the Ubiquiti products across the board is that they're almost all single-pane management and the single-pane management is included. It's a huge benefit."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its reliability."
"Ubiquiti is one step above the consumer level. They cost a little bit more, but they just seem to be drop-dead reliable, and they're keeping up with the latest standards."
"We need to start seeing some kind of AI to assist with some of what we really want to accomplish from a policy standpoint to achieve better efficiency."
"All Juniper documentation is terrible."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"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."
"Wireless and monitoring definitely could be improved."
"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."
"It was very difficult to get technical support, here in Egypt. There is no local support available."
"I think they need to provide a better firewall solution."
"They can improve the visibility of networks to match Meraki switches, which have good visibility tools to go through the network. In a Meraki device, you get a clear picture when using the bug interface. You can also see its neighbors and have a clear picture of all connected devices. Ubiquiti UniFi Switches do not have such features that Meraki switches provide."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches can improve by putting more effort into security. There are not many options in security. Other solutions, you can filter, do access control, and functionality. Ubiquiti UniFi Switches provides all the basic network security where it's all about the password for someone to access the SSID on the network, but it doesn't go beyond advanced network features of packet filtering, monitoring, and managing users."
"UniFi lacks the granularity."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches need to add DNS lookup features."
"If Ubiquiti UniFi Switches had some live support instead of community support, that would go a long way."
"Functionalities can change quite quickly without notice."
"We have been having issues with non-homogeneity."
