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."This is a lower cost product with better features than the competition."
"It's easy to use."
"Both Juniper and Cisco switches are interoperable."
"Juniper supports all our connectivity infrastructure in our datacenter, supporting optimal availability and performance for services."
"The solution is certainly scalable."
"It is very valuable for SRX devices and we have found it very easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature is that Juniper is multiple kernels, so there's isolation, which means you won't get a process that runs away, creating problems across the whole platform."
"The scalability is excellent. It's one of the aspects of the solution that is quite good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use."
"Technical support is helpful and quick to respond."
"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."
"NETGEAR Switches has valuable cybersecurity features."
"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 tool is very easy to deploy as it is a very basic switch."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The remote troubleshooting features provide a single pane of glass where I can see my all my clients' equipment. If they're reporting a problem, I can go to the Insight Pro interface online and I can bring up that client and I can see all their devices and the status of all their devices."
"The stability could be better. We find, for example, Cisco, to be more stable."
"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."
"All Juniper documentation is terrible."
"They could improve the code, as there are some issues with it."
"The technical support from Juniper Ethernet Switches could be better."
"The price could be a bit lower."
"Wireless and monitoring definitely could be improved."
"Some areas of technical support could be better."
"There is a lot of delay in the data coming to the servers."
"The product could be more robust."
"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."
"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."
"The product's scalability has certain shortcomings that can be improved."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the response time for technical support."
"There are a lot of systems that are moving into different areas. There are a lot of cloud-based things happening. One nice feature that I've seen in other switches is artificial intelligence on the actual porting. They've got AI technology that will tell you when a port is down. They not only tell you when a port is down; they also tell you when a port is running slower. You can do a cable-fault check, or you can do other checks. It would be nice to have this information in NETGEAR. This feature might already be there in a new release of the NETGEAR's firmware, but I haven't seen it."
"Support needs to be improved."
