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."It is stable."
"Juniper EX Series is part of the Junos operating system and has a candidate configuration feature, which means changes are not immediately applied. It has a consistent command structure across all platforms and can handle both layer-three routing and layer-two switching. Additionally, the Junos OS offers virtualization options and support for multi-chassis and fabric switching. Overall, the Juniper EX Series is a versatile and powerful solution."
"It's easy to use."
"The performance is very good."
"Both Juniper and Cisco switches are interoperable."
"The solution is easy to use and has good integration."
"The setup phase was straightforward."
"The security is good."
"The solution is stable."
"The stability is good. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"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."
"Its setup, usage, and access are most valuable. It is a very easy switch to set up."
"This switch is Layer 3, so it is a totally managed system."
"The solution helps transfer data."
"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 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."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"Juniper's support could be much better and faster."
"The price could be a bit lower."
"More security could be provided, especially with the rising cyber-attacks in business organizations."
"The management platforms for the network need improvement."
"The operating system could be better."
"The stability of this solution should be improved."
"In an upcoming release, Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve by having more microservices."
"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 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."
"There is a lot of delay in the data coming to the servers."
"The IGMP specifics of the web management console could use a bit of clarification."
"The technical support could be more helpful."
"Though the tool's useability is good, it has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"NETGEAR Switches could provide local technical support services."
"The tool needs to improve its network management. The tool can be also more simplified."
