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."The product is flexible and easy to set up."
"The campus switches and access switches are the most valuable and simple to deploy for Virtual Chassis."
"Junos OS is extremely flexible and easy to pick up."
"I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10 for scalability."
"One of the nicest things about Juniper switches is they work well with other vendor products. When you have to go into a situation where other vendor switches are present, you can make it work."
"The most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches are the simple configuration and ruggedness."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"Juniper switches are very good with MPLS."
"For the world where you have to balance traffic and traffic loads and bandwidth, their GUI makes it really easy because the switches, though they are enterprise grade level two or level three switches, the GUI is designed so that it's easy to set up VLANs where you need to control your traffic so that your phones don't break up and get choppy because of other people loading the network down too heavily."
"It is very easy to deploy. The deployment time for a single device is a near instant."
"This product is very reasonably priced."
"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."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are stable and support Layer 3. They come with a user-friendly interface. If you're not familiar with the command-line interface or you wouldn't like to configure it by using the command line, they have a user-friendly interface that you can use. They also have good documentation about how to use these switches."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is the graphic user interface for monitoring, where you can see the status of the device in real-time. I use those features across the campus. I use the APs as my beacons to tell me whether the area of the school of the network is down or not. Those will be the first to alert me that there is a problem with the network or a device. They provide me with more than only monitoring themselves, I use them in order to monitor all the devices."
"The user interface makes it simple to configure and manage."
"They should integrate VPN functionality with the solution."
"Juniper should improve the support services provided to users, as it is one of its areas with certain shortcomings."
"They could provide better security tools."
"The operating system, Junos OS, often has bugs which forces rollbacks or additional upgrades to resolve."
"More security could be provided, especially with the rising cyber-attacks in business organizations."
"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."
"The price is in the intermediate range. It is not overly expensive, but also not cheap. It could stand improvement."
"You need to make a few local configurations to work with the solution. We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"The documentation for command lines needs to be improved."
"It would be nice if there was a way to label all of the ports on it so that I could include information about where the various connections go."
"One area for improvement would be having a web interface directly on the device itself. That's the one thing that makes them more difficult for less experienced technicians to configure."
"In terms of improvement, sometimes we have bugs."
"I had some initial problems with the configuration that necessitated contacting technical support."
"Some of the features needed to set up the solution are too complex. There's a lot of technical information that is required."
"This brand is not very popular in China."
"The product needs to improve its pricing."
