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 most valuable feature is the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)."
"It is stable."
"The Virtual Chassis, because you have a centralized administration of a set of switches which makes the operation more efficient."
"We have multiple cases of the customers trying to upgrade their network from Cisco, Aruba and Huawei to Juniper. They do this basically because they want to modernise their network and have an increased capacity. This shift improves their functionality because the Juniper Ethernet switches are more advanced. We provide them with assistance to configure switches, access points and Wi-Fi."
"The performance is very good."
"The feature I like the most is the ability to reword changes before committing to the change. We can always reword changes in 10 minutes if they don't work."
"I like that it's fairly easy to implement these ethernet switches."
"The platform is very stable in terms of consistency and reliability."
"The ability to manage them is the big valuable feature. The ease of use is great."
"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."
"Out-of-the-box, it works for our main use case. When passing multicast video across the network, our technicians don't have make any changes. Then, if we do need to make configuration changes for a custom scenario, the web interface is user intuitive so it's easy to use and change."
"For what I used this switch for, it did well."
"The solution is simple to use. I am also impressed with the tool's GUI and CLI."
"I'm satisfied with the stability of NETGEAR Switches."
"The solution is very powerful and versatile."
"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."
"We need to start seeing some kind of AI to assist with some of what we really want to accomplish from a policy standpoint to achieve better efficiency."
"The management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."
"The packet channelizing feature should be improved."
"The solution is a bit costly compared to other products."
"The upgrading of the system should be simplified and made faster."
"Wireless and monitoring definitely could be improved."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"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."
"There's a lack of chips and, consequently, a lack of deliveries. They're out of stock at their European warehouse."
"The security features must be improved."
"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."
"Centralized monitoring is there, but competitors like Cisco Prime are at a higher level of centralized monitoring."
"This product lacks a CLI interface."
"The IGMP specifics of the web management console could use a bit of clarification."
"The solution needs centralized management and centralized configuration."
"NETGEAR Switches could be more secure. Scalability could also be better. This infrastructure is a bit old, and we need something that will be more secure. Something that will introduce WLAN, and we will need the knowledge to go with that. Some of the switches were used for more than seven years. I think it was just their lifespan that was exhausted. But other than that, there haven't been any issues that required us to complain or get concerned."
