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."One of the most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches is they are rugged."
"You willuse almost every feature on every switch to some degree because the utility is valuable."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' most valuable feature is the Juniper-Mist cloud, which facilitates management of the switches and access points."
"It is stable."
"It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"This is a lower cost product with better features than the competition."
"I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10 for scalability."
"The product is flexible and easy to set up."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Out-of-the-box, it works for our main use case. When passing multicast video across the network, our technicians don't have make any changes. Then, if we do need to make configuration changes for a custom scenario, the web interface is user intuitive so it's easy to use and change."
"The solution helps transfer data."
"The company provides a lifetime warranty."
"Their online portal is one of the most useful features. The portal is very user-friendly, so even someone with not a lot of tech experience can go in and see what's going on with the switch."
"The solution is simple to use. I am also impressed with the tool's GUI and CLI."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking."
"I have found the scalability could be improved in the version I was using."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' tech support is hard to reach and slow."
"The management platforms for the network need improvement."
"Juniper EX Series could improve the process and ease of updating the software. It is a difficult process."
"More security could be provided, especially with the rising cyber-attacks in business organizations."
"They could provide better security tools."
"NETGEAR Switches could be more secure. Scalability could also be better. This infrastructure is a bit old, and we need something that will be more secure. Something that will introduce WLAN, and we will need the knowledge to go with that. Some of the switches were used for more than seven years. I think it was just their lifespan that was exhausted. But other than that, there haven't been any issues that required us to complain or get concerned."
"The technical support could be more helpful."
"The product could be more robust."
"My one issue with it is that not all the features of the switch can currently be managed via the portal. For some of the more advanced features, you still have to configure the switch."
"Though the tool's useability is good, it has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The product's stability has certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"NETGEAR Switches could provide local technical support services."
"Centralized monitoring is there, but competitors like Cisco Prime are at a higher level of centralized monitoring."
