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."Juniper Switches' best feature is its flexibility."
"The security is good."
"The campus switches and access switches are the most valuable and simple to deploy for Virtual Chassis."
"You willuse almost every feature on every switch to some degree because the utility is valuable."
"I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10 for scalability."
"The Juniper EX Series's most valuable feature is its robustness. Additionally, it is easy to use and great GUI."
"What I like most about this solution is that it is secure."
"I like the VLAN capabilities, and the Junos interface is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Technical support is helpful and quick to respond."
"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 company provides a lifetime warranty."
"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."
"The ability to manage them is the big valuable feature. The ease of use is great."
"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..."
"You need to make a few local configurations to work with the solution. We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking."
"We are not very pleased with their performance."
"Has a steep learning curve."
"The updates are constantly breaking."
"I have found the scalability could be improved in the version I was using."
"It would be nice to have a more available list of modules that you can get for this solution."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' tech support is hard to reach and slow."
"There's a lack of chips and, consequently, a lack of deliveries. They're out of stock at their European warehouse."
"The ‘how-to’ guides could do with some improvements. We got in trouble following the stacking and Dante set-up guides. If these would have been accurate, we would not have lost three days."
"This product lacks a CLI interface."
"They need to continue moving forward with their consulting in the AV realm to find out what is needed. They are some differences in the M4300 line and the larger M4500 line right now. They could produce a 1 Gigabit variety that could be a bit cheaper that might fit into that, since the majority of the projects that we see are still in that 1 Gigabit bandwidth threshold. Along with that, a great option would be if it would provide the same modular ability on a lower level."
"There is a lot of delay in the data coming to the servers."
"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."
"Netgear switches could be cheaper."
"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."
