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."It is very valuable for SRX devices and we have found it very easy to configure."
"The GUI interface distinguishes it from other vendors and makes it easy to operate."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' most valuable feature is the Juniper-Mist cloud, which facilitates management of the switches and access points."
"Juniper switches are very good with MPLS."
"Both Juniper and Cisco switches are interoperable."
"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."
"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 tool is stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use."
"I'm satisfied with the stability of NETGEAR Switches."
"The solution is stable."
"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 big winner for NETGEAR is their modular switch: the 96X version. That is something that you don't see in the market anywhere else, except for Cisco who has it at a high level for a high expense. The ability to customize your own switch with their modules is a big plus for what we do in the market right now. Instead of having to piece together standardized switches, trying to make something work, or fitting the design into the mold, the modular switches are aware that you can make a mark in the industry because you purchased one switch and design with different modules added and removed later on for functionality."
"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."
"Comes preconfigured and designed specifically for AV."
"It would be nice to have a more available list of modules that you can get for this solution."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve in the EX 2300 model because it does not support IPsec VPN. Only the models at 3400 or higher support it. Additionally, there is a need for support for Mac which is lacking. Some of their competitors, such as Cisco, support Mac."
"The packet channelizing feature should be improved."
"I have found the scalability could be improved in the version I was using."
"The price is in the intermediate range. It is not overly expensive, but also not cheap. It could stand improvement."
"Wireless and monitoring definitely could be improved."
"One potential drawback of the Juniper EX Series has been that those without experience using a command-line interface (CLI) may find it intimidating. However, Junos is working on improving this by offering tools, such as Juniper Mist with Wired Assurance and Apstra. Additionally, the graphical user interface (GUI) could be improved as it has been considered lackluster across the board in Junos."
"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's a lack of chips and, consequently, a lack of deliveries. They're out of stock at their European warehouse."
"There is a lot of delay in the data coming to the servers."
"This product lacks a CLI interface."
"Perhaps in the future, we will have even more different types of switches and be able to fulfill more collections."
"The management of them, itself, is not so good. You have to go between many different browsers, even some super-old browsers, to be able to do it. That is a super pain."
"The security features must be improved."
"The product's stability has certain shortcomings that need improvement."
