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 product is very helpful in troubleshooting."
"It is very valuable for SRX devices and we have found it very easy to configure."
"You willuse almost every feature on every switch to some degree because the utility is valuable."
"I like that it's fairly easy to implement these ethernet switches."
"Juniper Switches' best feature is its flexibility."
"The Juniper Ethernet switch feature I find the most valuable is reliability."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Junos operating system."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches are high-end solutions."
"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..."
"We have one client that has three Insight switches and when we make a change to their network... we can make the configuration change and push it down to all three switches at once. We don't have to individually log on to each switch to make the change."
"As far as remoting into it goes, it is very efficient because I can do it from anywhere, through the remote software. I can get right into it, I can change settings really quickly, if a customer needs to add another device into it or if I need to make changes on the VLANs that we created."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that Insight is cloud-managed. The whole reason behind it is that there is one central place to manage it. You can pre-configure everything and you can get access to it without having to get onto the client's network. That makes it easy to use and deploy."
"The tool is stable."
"The remote management tools are fantastic. The combination of the webpage as well as the app makes life so much easier. I don't need to go and visit sites to do upgrades or any sorts of changes. The firmware can all be deployed remotely. I can see the traffic on each of the switch ports remotely as well, so I can see if we've got problems, down to an individual port. It's very granular."
"The solution helps transfer data."
"Comes preconfigured and designed specifically for AV."
"I have found the scalability could be improved in the version I was using."
"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 operating system, Junos OS, often has bugs which forces rollbacks or additional upgrades to resolve."
"The management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"The stability could be better. We find, for example, Cisco, to be more stable."
"Juniper EX Series could improve the process and ease of updating the software. It is a difficult process."
"In an upcoming release, Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve by having more microservices."
"The security features must be improved."
"One thing I have asked for, something that NETGEAR lacks that I would love to see — and from what I understand it's in the works — is a REST API to programmatically interface with multiple switches. That would be a great feature."
"Centralized monitoring is there, but competitors like Cisco Prime are at a higher level of centralized monitoring."
"There is a lack of documentation, and the documentation I have is unclear, so I have to rely on Google for information."
"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."
"Perhaps in the future, we will have even more different types of switches and be able to fulfill more collections."
"This product lacks a CLI interface."
"The M4250 switches needs more SFP models."
