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 product is flexible and easy to set up."
"Juniper switches are very good with MPLS."
"The ease of management through the command line interface is very good."
"Junos OS is extremely flexible and easy to pick up."
"The Juniper Ethernet switch feature I find the most valuable is reliability."
"The most valuable feature is switching on our network."
"It has features that allow us to go back to previous configurations."
"It is stable."
"The solution is stable."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"Its setup, usage, and access are most valuable. It is a very easy switch to set up."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the fully functional IGMP snooping and querier, out-of-the-box, that the switch provides. With most if not all switches that we've worked with previously, at a minimum you have to enable a couple of different options... It's really a good feature to have that stuff enabled and fully functional out-of-the-box so that [AV techs] don't have to worry about configuring any of that stuff."
"Netgear switches are highly reliable. We haven't done anything particularly sophisticated with them."
"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 protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"The durability of the devices could be better."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"Stability could be better, especially during a reboot. We have had some issues recently with the software getting corrupt on reboot, which causes a lot of downtime."
"Support could be improved."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches lack to offer the latest management tools."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' operating systems get corrupted when the power fails. They have to improve this issue. I may have to use a newer version."
"The management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."
"There is a lack of documentation, and the documentation I have is unclear, so I have to rely on Google for information."
"The main negative thing is the speed. When you use the portal, if you have a lot of customers and locations in the portal, and you need to scroll through those clients or those locations, it takes a pretty long time to load those pages and to select the client. That's the problem in the portal on the laptop, and it's the same problem in the portal on the app."
"Perhaps in the future, we will have even more different types of switches and be able to fulfill more collections."
"The security features must be improved."
"The IGMP specifics of the web management console could use a bit of clarification."
"When the power does go out, or if we do a soft shutdown, some of the transceivers or the monitor don't recognize when it turns back on, so I have to physically unplug it and plug it back in and then it works. We're working with NETGEAR's engineers to figure out why that's happening."
"Centralized monitoring is there, but competitors like Cisco Prime are at a higher level of centralized monitoring."
"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."
