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 most valuable feature of Juniper Ethernet Switches is the public remote configuration option. If you make a mistake in the configuration you can roll it back to the previous configuration automatically after a set time frame increment, such as five or more minutes. In all the other competitors once you press to enter the new configuration is already written in. You cannot roll it back automatically."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' best features are the high packer sorting and throughput, good uplink port capacity, and virtual setup."
"This solution is impeccable."
"The most valuable feature is switching on our network."
"The Juniper Ethernet switch feature I find the most valuable is reliability."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"The security is good."
"One of the nicest things about Juniper switches is they work well with other vendor products. When you have to go into a situation where other vendor switches are present, you can make it work."
"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."
"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..."
"Since it has a web interface, it is easy to set up. You don't have to take three years of training somewhere for a lot of money."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The solution is reliable and it is easy to setup."
"The company provides a lifetime warranty."
"Technical support is helpful and quick to respond."
"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."
"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."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"Wireless and monitoring definitely could be improved."
"The solution is a bit costly compared to other products."
"Support could be improved."
"Juniper's support could be much better and faster."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches lack to offer the latest management tools."
"All Juniper documentation is terrible."
"There is a lack of documentation, and the documentation I have is unclear, so I have to rely on Google for information."
"The ‘how-to’ guides could do with some improvements. We got in trouble following the stacking and Dante set-up guides. If these would have been accurate, we would not have lost three days."
"The product's stability has certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"Perhaps in the future, we will have even more different types of switches and be able to fulfill more collections."
"The product could be more robust."
"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."
"If they could come up with ways to look at metrics on it while the video is capping through the system, that would be nice. There could be some interesting uses for that, but it's a long way off."
"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."
