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 ease of management through the command line interface is very good."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"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."
"The platform is very stable in terms of consistency and reliability."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"The most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches are the simple configuration and ruggedness."
"Juniper switches are very good with MPLS."
"The solution has a high level of network 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."
"Netgear switches are highly reliable. We haven't done anything particularly sophisticated with them."
"The solution is stable."
"The initial setup is easy."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"One of the biggest benefits of the remote management is that it's easy to use and you can use it from a mobile device or tablet with the app they've developed... If one of my engineers is out in the field at a client and an alert comes in from another client, that engineer can take that alert and look at it in real-time."
"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 most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use."
"I have found the scalability could be improved in the version I was using."
"Wireless and monitoring definitely could be improved."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' tech support is hard to reach and slow."
"The Virtual Chassis Fabric is kind of complicated to troubleshoot sometimes. On the MPLS side, they're good — they're fine for the pseudo-wires and stuff—but they need more work on the LAN. It is difficult to troubleshoot their LAN technologies like Virtual Chassis."
"Jupiter Switches' configuration is a little difficult to understand."
"You need to make a few local configurations to work with the solution. We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"Stability could be better, especially during a reboot. We have had some issues recently with the software getting corrupt on reboot, which causes a lot of downtime."
"The operating system, Junos OS, often has bugs which forces rollbacks or additional upgrades to resolve."
"The ‘how-to’ guides could do with some improvements. We got in trouble following the stacking and Dante set-up guides. If these would have been accurate, we would not have lost three days."
"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."
"The IGMP specifics of the web management console could use a bit of clarification."
"There is a lot of delay in the data coming to the servers."
"The M4250 switches needs more SFP models."
"The technical support could be more helpful."
"The tool's price could be better."
"The product's scalability has certain shortcomings that can be improved."
