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 Juniper Ethernet switch feature I find the most valuable is reliability."
"You willuse almost every feature on every switch to some degree because the utility is valuable."
"One of the nicest things about Juniper switches is they work well with other vendor products. When you have to go into a situation where other vendor switches are present, you can make it work."
"The Virtual Chassis, because you have a centralized administration of a set of switches which makes the operation more efficient."
"One of the most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches is they are rugged."
"I like that it's fairly easy to implement these ethernet switches."
"The setup phase was straightforward."
"The scalability is excellent. It's one of the aspects of the solution that is quite good."
"The solution is reliable and it is easy to setup."
"NETGEAR Switches has valuable cybersecurity features."
"Technical support is helpful and quick to respond."
"The solution helps transfer data."
"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."
"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 stability is good. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"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."
"In an upcoming release, Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve by having more microservices."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"The packet channelizing feature should be improved."
"Its distribution channel and the ease of availability should be improved."
"We are not very pleased with their performance."
"All Juniper documentation is terrible."
"The security features for the product should be more unified for the product regardless of the product model."
"The interface could be better. It needs improvement."
"One area that has room for improvement, and I know NETGEAR is working on it, is adding more features to the products lines in terms of what we can manage through the Insight portal... not all Layer 2 or Layer 3 settings are there yet."
"Netgear switches could be cheaper."
"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."
"The tool needs to improve its network management. The tool can be also more simplified."
"It's worked for the most part, but we've had to power cycle a few devices. We've had to ask customers to manually power cycle them with the power cord, after some of the firmware updates. Their updating needs a little improvement."
"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."
"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."
