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."
"The Juniper EX Series's most valuable feature is its robustness. Additionally, it is easy to use and great GUI."
"We have multiple cases of the customers trying to upgrade their network from Cisco, Aruba and Huawei to Juniper. They do this basically because they want to modernise their network and have an increased capacity. This shift improves their functionality because the Juniper Ethernet switches are more advanced. We provide them with assistance to configure switches, access points and Wi-Fi."
"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."
"Juniper is the best when it comes to the core layer."
"The most valuable feature is switching on our network."
"The most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches are the simple configuration and ruggedness."
"The GUI interface distinguishes it from other vendors and makes it easy to operate."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Their online portal is one of the most useful features. The portal is very user-friendly, so even someone with not a lot of tech experience can go in and see what's going on with the switch."
"It's nice, if there is an issue, to be able to go in through the remote. The fact that the remote doesn't require a static IP... is nice. They initiate the contact to the outside world, without requiring a static to get in."
"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."
"The solution is very powerful and versatile."
"I'm satisfied with the stability of NETGEAR Switches."
"The big winner for NETGEAR is their modular switch: the 96X version. That is something that you don't see in the market anywhere else, except for Cisco who has it at a high level for a high expense. The ability to customize your own switch with their modules is a big plus for what we do in the market right now. Instead of having to piece together standardized switches, trying to make something work, or fitting the design into the mold, the modular switches are aware that you can make a mark in the industry because you purchased one switch and design with different modules added and removed later on for functionality."
"For what I used this switch for, it did well."
"Juniper's support could be much better and faster."
"We are not very pleased with their performance."
"The operating system, Junos OS, often has bugs which forces rollbacks or additional upgrades to resolve."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' tech support is hard to reach and slow."
"The updates are constantly breaking."
"Wireless and monitoring definitely could be improved."
"In an upcoming release, Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve by having more microservices."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"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."
"Their old firmware was a problem for us and we're still working on it. It didn't apply correctly so it took about half of our switches offline, which meant we couldn't use some of the functionality like the firmware updates. Unfortunately with that firmware, which they've sorted out, if you don't go through all the firmware and make sure it's past that point and back online, that's an issue with them. It's something to cautious about"
"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."
"There is a lot of delay in the data coming to the servers."
"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 would like to see improved is the response time for technical support."
"The technical support could be more helpful."
