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."Both Juniper and Cisco switches are interoperable."
"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."
"I like the VLAN capabilities, and the Junos interface is easy to use."
"The security is good."
"Juniper Switches' best feature is its flexibility."
"The Virtual Chassis, because you have a centralized administration of a set of switches which makes the operation more efficient."
"The thing that sets Juniper apart from most switches is that when you're in the command line and you make a configuration change, you just write the command and then say "commit confirmed minutes". For example, I'm configuring a switch here in my office, which is five miles away, and I say, "commit confirmed 5". If I can't get back to the interface within five minutes to be able to make sure the switch came up, it rolls back to the previous configuration. This way I do not get locked out, or the switch doesn't get messed up because of the incorrect configuration. That's an automatic feature, which is pretty slick. I haven't seen that feature with other vendors that I've worked with. That's probably my most favorite feature."
"I like that it's fairly easy to implement these ethernet switches."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"For what I used this switch for, it did well."
"The most valuable feature to me is the modular side of things, being able to replace a module and a transceiver at our beck and call. If something goes down, or a piece of equipment is broken, I don't have to replace the whole switch. I can just replace the part that's broken or the part that is no longer working. I can get them back up and working within a matter of minutes, versus having to replace everything and reprogram everything. It's a huge time-saver."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The tool is stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use."
"Remote management is the most important thing for us. And monitoring, of course, allows us to see when something is wrong with a client. We get notified that an access point is down, for instance, or that there are too many clients on one access point, so that we can log into the portal and manage the solution with the client instantly, from either a laptop or a cell phone, with the Insight app."
"The stability is good. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"It would be nice to have a more available list of modules that you can get for this solution."
"The upgrading of the system should be simplified and made faster."
"They could improve the code, as there are some issues with it."
"You need to make a few local configurations to work with the solution. We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"In an upcoming release, Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve by having more microservices."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"The price could be a bit lower."
"Support could be improved."
"The solution needs centralized management and centralized configuration."
"Lacks switches with additional ports that provide room for new protocols of communications."
"Centralized monitoring is there, but competitors like Cisco Prime are at a higher level of centralized monitoring."
"They need to continue moving forward with their consulting in the AV realm to find out what is needed. They are some differences in the M4300 line and the larger M4500 line right now. They could produce a 1 Gigabit variety that could be a bit cheaper that might fit into that, since the majority of the projects that we see are still in that 1 Gigabit bandwidth threshold. Along with that, a great option would be if it would provide the same modular ability on a lower level."
"The product's scalability has certain shortcomings that can be improved."
"Being able to pass AVB traffic over these switches, that would be a huge add. There are not many switches out that support that. The GS728TP NETGEAR switches used to or still do support AVB, but it would be ideal if the 4300 Series could support it as well."
"Netgear switches could be cheaper."
"The tool's price could be better."
