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 feature I like the most is the ability to reword changes before committing to the change. We can always reword changes in 10 minutes if they don't work."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' most valuable feature is the Juniper-Mist cloud, which facilitates management of the switches and access points."
"The Virtual Chassis, because you have a centralized administration of a set of switches which makes the operation more efficient."
"The most valuable feature is that the CLI is the same on all of the Juniper devices, including routers, switches, and firewalls."
"It is easy to configure, and there are three routing switches."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' best features are the high packer sorting and throughput, good uplink port capacity, and virtual setup."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches are high-end solutions."
"It's stable and reliable."
"Its setup, usage, and access are most valuable. It is a very easy switch to set up."
"Netgear switches are highly reliable. We haven't done anything particularly sophisticated with them."
"The ability to manage them is the big valuable feature. The ease of use is great."
"The ease of use of these switches is very good because of the Cisco CLI. If you are familiar with CLI, then you can configure the switch that way. It also has a relatively straightforward web interface. Using the web interface is good for beginners or people who aren't familiar with Cisco CLI. However, having a common command line interface method is great for some of our more advanced guys who are familiar with it."
"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 most valuable feature is definitely the fully functional IGMP snooping and querier, out-of-the-box, that the switch provides. With most if not all switches that we've worked with previously, at a minimum you have to enable a couple of different options... It's really a good feature to have that stuff enabled and fully functional out-of-the-box so that [AV techs] don't have to worry about configuring any of that stuff."
"The most important feature is the failover, the LACP links. That's the dual set it allows. We have redundant core switches and, if one fails or one network adapter fails, the other one can take over without problems."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches is not cheap. The tool needs improvement in UI."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' operating systems get corrupted when the power fails. They have to improve this issue. I may have to use a newer version."
"Jupiter Switches' configuration is a little difficult to understand."
"The security features for the product should be more unified for the product regardless of the product model."
"Has a steep learning curve."
"More security could be provided, especially with the rising cyber-attacks in business organizations."
"It was very difficult to get technical support, here in Egypt. There is no local support available."
"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."
"Their old firmware was a problem for us and we're still working on it. It didn't apply correctly so it took about half of our switches offline, which meant we couldn't use some of the functionality like the firmware updates. Unfortunately with that firmware, which they've sorted out, if you don't go through all the firmware and make sure it's past that point and back online, that's an issue with them. It's something to cautious about"
"There is a lack of documentation, and the documentation I have is unclear, so I have to rely on Google for information."
"Netgear switches could be cheaper."
"Though the tool's useability is good, it has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The product's scalability has certain shortcomings that can be improved."
"When the power does go out, or if we do a soft shutdown, some of the transceivers or the monitor don't recognize when it turns back on, so I have to physically unplug it and plug it back in and then it works. We're working with NETGEAR's engineers to figure out why that's happening."
"There's a lack of chips and, consequently, a lack of deliveries. They're out of stock at their European warehouse."
