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 campus switches and access switches are the most valuable and simple to deploy for Virtual Chassis."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' best features are the high packer sorting and throughput, good uplink port capacity, and virtual setup."
"I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10 for scalability."
"It's easy to use."
"The most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches are the simple configuration and ruggedness."
"It's stable and reliable."
"It is stable."
"The GUI interface distinguishes it from other vendors and makes it easy to operate."
"The High Bandwidth AV-over-IP functionality of these switches has been fantastic, especially in leaf-and-spine. We've been able to build redundancy and they seem to outperform even the Cisco Catalyst, which is about twice as expensive as the M-series switches are."
"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."
"The stability is good. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The remote troubleshooting is pretty easy. You can turn off a port that might have a network loop created, or where there might be a bad NIC card that is creating issues. Being able to turn off that port remotely is fantastic, instead of having to replace the whole switch. Remote management is really easy."
"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."
"The solution is reliable and it is easy to setup."
"We have a wide range of switches for various applications, including a collection specifically designed for ProAV, as well as Multi-gig Switches, which are also quite well-known or unique."
"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 interface could be better. It needs improvement."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches would be improved by upgrading the uplink port in EX2300 categories service from 10G to 25G."
"More security could be provided, especially with the rising cyber-attacks in business organizations."
"I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems."
"The price is in the intermediate range. It is not overly expensive, but also not cheap. It could stand improvement."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking."
"The stability of this solution should be improved."
"The management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."
"Lacks switches with additional ports that provide room for new protocols of communications."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the response time for technical support."
"Though the tool's useability is good, it has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"There's a lack of chips and, consequently, a lack of deliveries. They're out of stock at their European warehouse."
"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."
"An area for improvement would be creating a wizard that can do a lot of common stuff. Instead of having some manual configuration for common features, they may want to have a single wizard that could be put in place which would let you walk through creating multiple VLANs and different routes between VLANs in a wizard. Then, you wouldn't have to dig in so deep."
"Netgear switches could be cheaper."
"There is a technical problem they can't seem to solve. It doesn't support multicast packets. In layman's terms, Mac computers can't print over the network."
