We performed a comparison between Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches and Meraki MS 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 virtual Chassis feature for stacking is good in general, with high bandwidth for the link, which is good."
"It is easy to configure, and there are three routing switches."
"The campus switches and access switches are the most valuable and simple to deploy for Virtual Chassis."
"The solution has a high level of network functionality."
"Juniper switches are very good with MPLS."
"The performance is very good."
"The product is flexible and easy to set up."
"I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10 for scalability."
"The most valuable features of Meraki MS Switches are ease of use, and we can find technical knowledge easily."
"The most valuable feature about Meraki is the console. The second most valuable feature, to me, is the technical support and the infrastructure behind the console."
"We have no problem with technical support from Cisco."
"Meraki MS Switches are amazing. Whoever built it is a genius. I like that it's a plug-and-play solution."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"I like the portal, it's really interesting."
"To me, this is a product that meets all of the needs that anyone could possibly have for a networking device."
"With Meraki, there is the advantage that you have dashboard access via the internet and you can work on it from anywhere."
"The technical support from Juniper Ethernet Switches could be better."
"The upgrading of the system should be simplified and made faster."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"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."
"Juniper EX Series could improve the process and ease of updating the software. It is a difficult process."
"The price could be a bit lower."
"More security could be provided, especially with the rising cyber-attacks in business organizations."
"It would be great if the switch can identify the IP address connected to the network port. It seems most of the switches cannot identify the IP address. They can identify the MAC address but not the IP address."
"Meraki should include an application to assist users with the design of access points."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution needs to improve its scalability."
"The firewall is not very powerful. The other week, one of the switches only gave one gigabit of output. It's become a concern for our customers."
"It is a compact switch, so there are a limited number of ports, and it needs improvement in terms of scalability."
"Technical support hold times seem to be getting longer."
"Meraki MS switches are great for pretty much all SMB networks and most enterprise networks. However, there are some higher-end functions that larger enterprise networks with full access, distribution, and core switch stack may find limiting."
