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 ease of management through the command line interface is very good."
"The campus switches and access switches are the most valuable and simple to deploy for Virtual Chassis."
"It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"It's pretty good as compared to other vendors."
"What I like most about this solution is that it is secure."
"It has features that allow us to go back to previous configurations."
"It's stable and reliable."
"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 most important feature is the failover, the LACP links. That's the dual set it allows. We have redundant core switches and, if one fails or one network adapter fails, the other one can take over without problems."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"NETGEAR Switches has valuable cybersecurity features."
"We have a wide range of switches for various applications, including a collection specifically designed for ProAV, as well as Multi-gig Switches, which are also quite well-known or unique."
"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..."
"The ability to manage them is the big valuable feature. The ease of use is great."
"Technical support is helpful and quick to respond."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. I have not faced any issues with the product whatsoever."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches is not cheap. The tool needs improvement in UI."
"The stability could be better. We find, for example, Cisco, to be more stable."
"The operating system could be better."
"The technical support from Juniper Ethernet Switches could be better."
"Juniper EX Series could improve the process and ease of updating the software. It is a difficult process."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"You need to make a few local configurations to work with the solution. We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve in the EX 2300 model because it does not support IPsec VPN. Only the models at 3400 or higher support it. Additionally, there is a need for support for Mac which is lacking. Some of their competitors, such as Cisco, support Mac."
"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 web interface has been a little sketchy on occasion. Sometimes I have to reload the page to get things to show up properly, but the switch itself seems fine. The web user interface is a little wonky at times."
"One area that has room for improvement, and I know NETGEAR is working on it, is adding more features to the products lines in terms of what we can manage through the Insight portal... not all Layer 2 or Layer 3 settings are there yet."
"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."
"The scalability and warranty should also be improved."
"The technical support could be more helpful."
"Though the tool's useability is good, it has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The tool needs to improve its network management. The tool can be also more simplified."
