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."The security is good."
"It is easy to configure, and there are three routing switches."
"I like the VLAN capabilities, and the Junos interface is easy to use."
"The product is very helpful in troubleshooting."
"The solution has a high level of network functionality."
"Juniper supports all our connectivity infrastructure in our datacenter, supporting optimal availability and performance for services."
"The most valuable feature is the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)."
"It's pretty good as compared to other vendors."
"You are not limited in terms of stacking ports, and especially, if you're using the 96X as a core switch, the scalability, I could see this being very large. If you're using a type of a hybrid topology with a core switch going out to multiple switch stacks, or something like that, I could see the scalability of this being very good, especially considering the kind of backplane switching capacity on the 96X."
"Since it has a web interface, it is easy to set up. You don't have to take three years of training somewhere for a lot of money."
"The ability to manage them is the big valuable feature. The ease of use is great."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"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..."
"I'm satisfied with the stability of NETGEAR Switches."
"The tool is very easy to deploy as it is a very basic switch."
"For what I used this switch for, it did well."
"It was very difficult to get technical support, here in Egypt. There is no local support available."
"The interface could be better. It needs improvement."
"Has a steep learning curve."
"The durability of the devices could be better."
"Their web GUI interface needs to be a lot better, especially when compared to HP. The command line is good, but you have to know how to get around it. The GUI is clunky and very slow."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"They could provide better security tools."
"Its distribution channel and the ease of availability should be improved."
"The tool's price could be better."
"The tool needs to improve its network management. The tool can be also more simplified."
"NETGEAR Switches could be more secure. Scalability could also be better. This infrastructure is a bit old, and we need something that will be more secure. Something that will introduce WLAN, and we will need the knowledge to go with that. Some of the switches were used for more than seven years. I think it was just their lifespan that was exhausted. But other than that, there haven't been any issues that required us to complain or get concerned."
"There's a lack of chips and, consequently, a lack of deliveries. They're out of stock at their European warehouse."
"I would like an email notification in case of errors or failures. If it was possible for the switch to email out an error log or notification note, especially in cases where we have the switches offsite (on the other side of town), then if something was to go wrong, it would be great to know about it before our client goes to use it for a big event, and it doesn't work. While I know that it does do SNMP, which is sort of standard, in the AV world, that is not always an option for us. We are usually running our own little network box and don't always have access to an SNMP server. We may just have simple Internet access or something similar."
"The IGMP specifics of the web management console could use a bit of clarification."
"The scalability and warranty should also be improved."
"Being able to pass AVB traffic over these switches, that would be a huge add. There are not many switches out that support that. The GS728TP NETGEAR switches used to or still do support AVB, but it would be ideal if the 4300 Series could support it as well."
