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 solution is easy to use and has good integration."
"What I like most about this solution is that it is secure."
"You willuse almost every feature on every switch to some degree because the utility is valuable."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is that the CLI is the same on all of the Juniper devices, including routers, switches, and firewalls."
"Junos OS is extremely flexible and easy to pick up."
"The most valuable feature is the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)."
"The campus switches and access switches are the most valuable and simple to deploy for Virtual Chassis."
"The stability is good. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup is easy."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"This switch is Layer 3, so it is a totally managed system."
"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."
"With this, you literally just log in to a website, see all your clients, all your NETGEAR switches, and you can manage them all right there: the VLANs, powering on and off individual ports, rebooting the whole device, the firmware updates. Everything can be done remotely..."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that Insight is cloud-managed. The whole reason behind it is that there is one central place to manage it. You can pre-configure everything and you can get access to it without having to get onto the client's network. That makes it easy to use and deploy."
"I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems."
"They could improve the code, as there are some issues with it."
"Has a steep learning curve."
"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 updates are constantly breaking."
"The interface could be better. It needs improvement."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches would be improved by upgrading the uplink port in EX2300 categories service from 10G to 25G."
"The stability could be better. We find, for example, Cisco, to be more stable."
"NETGEAR Switches could provide local technical support services."
"I'd like to see a little bit of slowdown on the firmware updates. They've been doing a lot of them. I don't know if that's just because it's such a new product line, but the firmware updates have been a little annoying because they've been coming once a week. For a switch, that's a little extreme."
"This product lacks a CLI interface."
"The product's stability has certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"There's a lack of chips and, consequently, a lack of deliveries. They're out of stock at their European warehouse."
"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."
"The security features must be improved."
"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."
