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 are smart and we have all the features that we want. You can rollback to the previous version if you make any mistake during configuration. This is not possible in Cisco."
"The campus switches and access switches are the most valuable and simple to deploy for Virtual Chassis."
"The solution is easy to use and has good integration."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' best features are the high packer sorting and throughput, good uplink port capacity, and virtual setup."
"This is a lower cost product with better features than the competition."
"The virtual Chassis feature for stacking is good in general, with high bandwidth for the link, which is good."
"The most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches are the simple configuration and ruggedness."
"I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10 for scalability."
"Remote management is the most important thing for us. And monitoring, of course, allows us to see when something is wrong with a client. We get notified that an access point is down, for instance, or that there are too many clients on one access point, so that we can log into the portal and manage the solution with the client instantly, from either a laptop or a cell phone, with the Insight app."
"Technical support is helpful and quick to respond."
"Its setup, usage, and access are most valuable. It is a very easy switch to set up."
"The company provides a lifetime warranty."
"Netgear switches are highly reliable. We haven't done anything particularly sophisticated with them."
"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."
"The solution is simple to use. I am also impressed with the tool's GUI and CLI."
"The solution is 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."
"The management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."
"The operating system, Junos OS, often has bugs which forces rollbacks or additional upgrades to resolve."
"They should integrate VPN functionality with the solution."
"We are not very pleased with their performance."
"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."
"They could provide better security tools."
"The initial setup of switches is not that simple."
"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."
"The scalability and warranty should also be improved."
"There is a lot of delay in the data coming to the servers."
"NETGEAR Switches could provide local technical support services."
"The product could be more robust."
"The tool's price could be better."
"This product lacks a CLI interface."
"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."
