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 tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"Junos OS is extremely flexible and easy to pick up."
"It is stable."
"Juniper EX Series is part of the Junos operating system and has a candidate configuration feature, which means changes are not immediately applied. It has a consistent command structure across all platforms and can handle both layer-three routing and layer-two switching. Additionally, the Junos OS offers virtualization options and support for multi-chassis and fabric switching. Overall, the Juniper EX Series is a versatile and powerful solution."
"The product is flexible and easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature is that Juniper is multiple kernels, so there's isolation, which means you won't get a process that runs away, creating problems across the whole platform."
"It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"It's pretty good as compared to other vendors."
"Comes preconfigured and designed specifically for AV."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use."
"The product is easy to deploy."
"Since it has a web interface, it is easy to set up. You don't have to take three years of training somewhere for a lot of money."
"The solution is simple to use. I am also impressed with the tool's GUI and CLI."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the fully functional IGMP snooping and querier, out-of-the-box, that the switch provides. With most if not all switches that we've worked with previously, at a minimum you have to enable a couple of different options... It's really a good feature to have that stuff enabled and fully functional out-of-the-box so that [AV techs] don't have to worry about configuring any of that stuff."
"The tool is very easy to deploy as it is a very basic switch."
"The solution is stable."
"I have found the scalability could be improved in the version I was using."
"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."
"You need to make a few local configurations to work with the solution. We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"Some areas of technical support could be better."
"The management platforms for the network need improvement."
"It would be nice to have a more available list of modules that you can get for this solution."
"Juniper needs to get their code up to par because it isn't stable enough for a leaf and spine design."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"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."
"My one issue with it is that not all the features of the switch can currently be managed via the portal. For some of the more advanced features, you still have to configure the switch."
"The solution needs centralized management and centralized configuration."
"Though the tool's useability is good, it has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Netgear switches could be cheaper."
"There's a lack of chips and, consequently, a lack of deliveries. They're out of stock at their European warehouse."
"The IGMP specifics of the web management console could use a bit of clarification."
"The scalability and warranty should also be improved."
