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 combination of hardware and software makes it a very good solution. It is a modern protocol that they have supported in the switches. The solution has good performance."
"The product is flexible and easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature is that the CLI is the same on all of the Juniper devices, including routers, switches, and firewalls."
"It is very valuable for SRX devices and we have found it very easy to configure."
"The most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches are the simple configuration and ruggedness."
"Juniper supports all our connectivity infrastructure in our datacenter, supporting optimal availability and performance for services."
"The virtual Chassis feature for stacking is good in general, with high bandwidth for the link, which is good."
"What I like most about this solution is that it is secure."
"Comes preconfigured and designed specifically for AV."
"There is a lot of helpful documentation that helps with the configuration process."
"NETGEAR Switches has valuable cybersecurity features."
"The remote management tools are fantastic. The combination of the webpage as well as the app makes life so much easier. I don't need to go and visit sites to do upgrades or any sorts of changes. The firmware can all be deployed remotely. I can see the traffic on each of the switch ports remotely as well, so I can see if we've got problems, down to an individual port. It's very granular."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The tool is very easy to deploy as it is a very basic switch."
"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 most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use."
"Juniper needs to get their code up to par because it isn't stable enough for a leaf and spine design."
"More security could be provided, especially with the rising cyber-attacks in business organizations."
"Juniper's support could be much better and faster."
"The management platforms for the network need improvement."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"It would be nice to have a more available list of modules that you can get for this solution."
"The operating system, Junos OS, often has bugs which forces rollbacks or additional upgrades to resolve."
"The operating system could be better."
"The IGMP specifics of the web management console could use a bit of clarification."
"The scalability and warranty should also be improved."
"There are some design issues on which they really missed the boat. The problem has to do with rack mounting them because the lights and jacks should all be on the front, and the power on the back. The way they did it makes it really difficult to use them in a rack environment, because when the lights are on the opposite side of the jacks... you usually can't see the back side of a rack. You can't get back there to see, so it's just crazy."
"I would like an email notification in case of errors or failures. If it was possible for the switch to email out an error log or notification note, especially in cases where we have the switches offsite (on the other side of town), then if something was to go wrong, it would be great to know about it before our client goes to use it for a big event, and it doesn't work. While I know that it does do SNMP, which is sort of standard, in the AV world, that is not always an option for us. We are usually running our own little network box and don't always have access to an SNMP server. We may just have simple Internet access or something similar."
"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."
"Perhaps in the future, we will have even more different types of switches and be able to fulfill more collections."
"This product lacks a CLI interface."
"The solution needs centralized management and centralized configuration."
