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 Juniper EX Series's most valuable feature is its robustness. Additionally, it is easy to use and great GUI."
"The solution is certainly scalable."
"Juniper switches are very good with MPLS."
"It is stable."
"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."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' best features are the high packer sorting and throughput, good uplink port capacity, and virtual setup."
"The most valuable feature is the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)."
"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."
"The two most valuable features are the remote access user and the side-to-side connection."
"Great information on the graphical interface."
"These switches are very simple to use and the GUI is very nice."
"We have integrated the tool for PoE switches and non-PoE switches. Its most valuable feature is SD-WAN. UniFi SD-WAN can access all statistics and performance data in one interface, enabling us to support clients across different locations remotely. Additionally, we can even restart devices remotely through the UniFi SD-WAN."
"The product is seamless and robust."
"The product’s most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"Good price point and very simple to use."
"The user interface makes it simple to configure and manage."
"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."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' tech support is hard to reach and slow."
"In an upcoming release, Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve by having more microservices."
"Jupiter Switches' configuration is a little difficult to understand."
"Stability could be better, especially during a reboot. We have had some issues recently with the software getting corrupt on reboot, which causes a lot of downtime."
"The Virtual Chassis Fabric is kind of complicated to troubleshoot sometimes. On the MPLS side, they're good — they're fine for the pseudo-wires and stuff—but they need more work on the LAN. It is difficult to troubleshoot their LAN technologies like Virtual Chassis."
"I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches would be improved by upgrading the uplink port in EX2300 categories service from 10G to 25G."
"New products don't integrate well with their management platform. Sometimes you have to go directly to the box or the switch to do the management."
"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."
"I had some initial problems with the configuration that necessitated contacting technical support."
"The documentation for command lines needs to be improved."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches need to add DNS lookup features."
"The solution needs to improve its documentation because it is quite poor."
"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."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is not a cheap solution."
