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."You willuse almost every feature on every switch to some degree because the utility is valuable."
"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."
"Junos OS is extremely flexible and easy to pick up."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"The most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches are the simple configuration and ruggedness."
"It is easy to configure, and there are three routing switches."
"The solution is easy to use and has good integration."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' most valuable feature is the Juniper-Mist cloud, which facilitates management of the switches and access points."
"Remote management is the most important thing for us. And monitoring, of course, allows us to see when something is wrong with a client. We get notified that an access point is down, for instance, or that there are too many clients on one access point, so that we can log into the portal and manage the solution with the client instantly, from either a laptop or a cell phone, with the Insight app."
"As far as remoting into it goes, it is very efficient because I can do it from anywhere, through the remote software. I can get right into it, I can change settings really quickly, if a customer needs to add another device into it or if I need to make changes on the VLANs that we created."
"NETGEAR Switches has valuable cybersecurity features."
"The solution is reliable and it is easy to setup."
"The High Bandwidth AV-over-IP functionality of these switches has been fantastic, especially in leaf-and-spine. We've been able to build redundancy and they seem to outperform even the Cisco Catalyst, which is about twice as expensive as the M-series switches are."
"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."
"The tool is stable."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"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."
"The management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."
"We are not very pleased with their performance."
"The durability of the devices could be better."
"The solution is a bit costly compared to other products."
"The updates are constantly breaking."
"The configuration could be made simpler."
"The security features must be improved."
"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."
"NETGEAR Switches could provide local technical support services."
"It's worked for the most part, but we've had to power cycle a few devices. We've had to ask customers to manually power cycle them with the power cord, after some of the firmware updates. Their updating needs a little improvement."
"Perhaps in the future, we will have even more different types of switches and be able to fulfill more collections."
"The product's scalability has certain shortcomings that can be improved."
"The technical support could be more helpful."
"Though the tool's useability is good, it has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
