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."
"I like the VLAN capabilities, and the Junos interface is easy to use."
"It has features that allow us to go back to previous configurations."
"The GUI interface distinguishes it from other vendors and makes it easy to operate."
"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 Virtual Chassis, because you have a centralized administration of a set of switches which makes the operation more efficient."
"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."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The product is easy to deploy."
"The stability is good. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"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."
"The tool is stable."
"For what I used this switch for, it did well."
"Valuable features include network monitoring and ease of programming for VLANs, etc. I especially like NETGEAR because it's easy to teach system administrators how to use them, how to look at them, how to make changes to them without having the complexity of CLIs, but still having a CLI should we need it."
"Juniper should improve the support services provided to users, as it is one of its areas with certain shortcomings."
"EX switches take too long to boot when we restart them for maintenance. We need to minimize downtime. Another issue is the command line interface. Juniper's commands are different from other switches, so it's hard to remember them."
"The initial setup of switches is not that simple."
"Wireless and monitoring definitely could be improved."
"They should integrate VPN functionality with the solution."
"Juniper's support could be much better and faster."
"Jupiter Switches' configuration is a little difficult to understand."
"Juniper needs to get their code up to par because it isn't stable enough for a leaf and spine design."
"The scalability and warranty should also be improved."
"The IGMP specifics of the web management console could use a bit of clarification."
"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."
"The tool does not offer extra firewall security."
"NETGEAR Switches could provide local technical support services."
"I'd like to see a little bit of slowdown on the firmware updates. They've been doing a lot of them. I don't know if that's just because it's such a new product line, but the firmware updates have been a little annoying because they've been coming once a week. For a switch, that's a little extreme."
"The security features must be improved."
"Though the tool's useability is good, it has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
