We performed a comparison between Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches and NETGEAR 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."Juniper switches are very good with MPLS."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches are high-end solutions."
"The combination of hardware and software makes it a very good solution. It is a modern protocol that they have supported in the switches. The solution has good performance."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"The feature I like the most is the ability to reword changes before committing to the change. We can always reword changes in 10 minutes if they don't work."
"The product is very helpful in troubleshooting."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"The scalability is excellent. It's one of the aspects of the solution that is quite good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use."
"NETGEAR Switches has valuable cybersecurity features."
"The ability to manage them is the big valuable feature. The ease of use is great."
"The ease of use of these switches is very good because of the Cisco CLI. If you are familiar with CLI, then you can configure the switch that way. It also has a relatively straightforward web interface. Using the web interface is good for beginners or people who aren't familiar with Cisco CLI. However, having a common command line interface method is great for some of our more advanced guys who are familiar with it."
"With this, you literally just log in to a website, see all your clients, all your NETGEAR switches, and you can manage them all right there: the VLANs, powering on and off individual ports, rebooting the whole device, the firmware updates. Everything can be done remotely..."
"One of the biggest benefits of the remote management is that it's easy to use and you can use it from a mobile device or tablet with the app they've developed... If one of my engineers is out in the field at a client and an alert comes in from another client, that engineer can take that alert and look at it in real-time."
"Valuable features include network monitoring and ease of programming for VLANs, etc. I especially like NETGEAR because it's easy to teach system administrators how to use them, how to look at them, how to make changes to them without having the complexity of CLIs, but still having a CLI should we need it."
"The remote troubleshooting is pretty easy. You can turn off a port that might have a network loop created, or where there might be a bad NIC card that is creating issues. Being able to turn off that port remotely is fantastic, instead of having to replace the whole switch. Remote management is really easy."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"Juniper needs to get their code up to par because it isn't stable enough for a leaf and spine design."
"Wireless and monitoring definitely could be improved."
"The management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches is not cheap. The tool needs improvement in UI."
"All Juniper documentation is terrible."
"The difficulty of the installation of Juniper Ethernet Switches depends on the environment it is being implemented in. It is fairly straightforward in terms of being able to source the technical information as we need it. However, this process could improve."
"I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems."
"The tool needs to improve its network management. The tool can be also more simplified."
"What I'd like to see is more compatibility with virtual stacking, so that 4300-series switches and 3300-series switches will actually stack together and that virtual switch stacks, themselves, are not limited to just six devices, so that they can create larger loops with more bandwidth and more redundancy."
"The scalability and warranty should also be improved."
"The IGMP specifics of the web management console could use a bit of clarification."
"NETGEAR Switches could provide local technical support services."
"If they could come up with ways to look at metrics on it while the video is capping through the system, that would be nice. There could be some interesting uses for that, but it's a long way off."
"There is a technical problem they can't seem to solve. It doesn't support multicast packets. In layman's terms, Mac computers can't print over the network."
"The ‘how-to’ guides could do with some improvements. We got in trouble following the stacking and Dante set-up guides. If these would have been accurate, we would not have lost three days."
