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 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."
"Juniper switches are smart and we have all the features that we want. You can rollback to the previous version if you make any mistake during configuration. This is not possible in Cisco."
"The scalability is excellent. It's one of the aspects of the solution that is quite good."
"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."
"I like the simplicity of it."
"The Juniper Ethernet switch feature I find the most valuable is reliability."
"It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"The Virtual Chassis, because you have a centralized administration of a set of switches which makes the operation more efficient."
"NETGEAR Switches has valuable cybersecurity features."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The product is easy to deploy."
"The remote troubleshooting features provide a single pane of glass where I can see my all my clients' equipment. If they're reporting a problem, I can go to the Insight Pro interface online and I can bring up that client and I can see all their devices and the status of all their devices."
"We have one client that has three Insight switches and when we make a change to their network... we can make the configuration change and push it down to all three switches at once. We don't have to individually log on to each switch to make the change."
"I'm satisfied with the stability of NETGEAR Switches."
"The solution is stable."
"Comes preconfigured and designed specifically for AV."
"The configuration could be made simpler."
"It would be nice to have a more available list of modules that you can get for this solution."
"We need to start seeing some kind of AI to assist with some of what we really want to accomplish from a policy standpoint to achieve better efficiency."
"All Juniper documentation is terrible."
"We are not very pleased with their performance."
"The price could be a bit lower."
"Some areas of technical support could be better."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"Netgear switches could be cheaper."
"Lacks switches with additional ports that provide room for new protocols of communications."
"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."
"The product's scalability has certain shortcomings that can be improved."
"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."
"Perhaps in the future, we will have even more different types of switches and be able to fulfill more collections."
"The management of them, itself, is not so good. You have to go between many different browsers, even some super-old browsers, to be able to do it. That is a super pain."
"One thing I have asked for, something that NETGEAR lacks that I would love to see — and from what I understand it's in the works — is a REST API to programmatically interface with multiple switches. That would be a great feature."
