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 of Juniper Ethernet Switches is the public remote configuration option. If you make a mistake in the configuration you can roll it back to the previous configuration automatically after a set time frame increment, such as five or more minutes. In all the other competitors once you press to enter the new configuration is already written in. You cannot roll it back automatically."
"The setup phase was straightforward."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"The ease of management through the command line interface is very good."
"It is very valuable for SRX devices and we have found it very easy to configure."
"It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"Juniper is the best when it comes to the core layer."
"The tool is very easy to deploy as it is a very basic switch."
"The solution is reliable and it is easy to setup."
"The cloud management has just been huge for us. We have 80 clients and they all have switches... With the cloud-managed Insight ones... we know more information without having to do complicated SNMP traps. We get nice emails, we get a web interface, and we're not having to wait for our RMM tools to get SNMP traffic to notify us. We don't have to do complicated configurations."
"The most valuable feature to me is the modular side of things, being able to replace a module and a transceiver at our beck and call. If something goes down, or a piece of equipment is broken, I don't have to replace the whole switch. I can just replace the part that's broken or the part that is no longer working. I can get them back up and working within a matter of minutes, versus having to replace everything and reprogram everything. It's a huge time-saver."
"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."
"This switch is Layer 3, so it is a totally managed system."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"We have a wide range of switches for various applications, including a collection specifically designed for ProAV, as well as Multi-gig Switches, which are also quite well-known or unique."
"More security could be provided, especially with the rising cyber-attacks in business organizations."
"The management platforms for the network need improvement."
"The security features for the product should be more unified for the product regardless of the product model."
"Jupiter Switches' configuration is a little difficult to understand."
"Their web GUI interface needs to be a lot better, especially when compared to HP. The command line is good, but you have to know how to get around it. The GUI is clunky and very slow."
"Juniper's support could be much better and faster."
"Wireless and monitoring definitely could be improved."
"The operating system, Junos OS, often has bugs which forces rollbacks or additional upgrades to resolve."
"NETGEAR Switches could provide local technical support services."
"The tool's price could be better."
"The product's scalability has certain shortcomings that can be improved."
"What I'd like to see is more compatibility with virtual stacking, so that 4300-series switches and 3300-series switches will actually stack together and that virtual switch stacks, themselves, are not limited to just six devices, so that they can create larger loops with more bandwidth and more redundancy."
"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."
"There is a lot of delay in the data coming to the servers."
"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."
"There is a lack of documentation, and the documentation I have is unclear, so I have to rely on Google for information."
