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 GUI interface distinguishes it from other vendors and makes it easy to operate."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"The virtual Chassis feature for stacking is good in general, with high bandwidth for the link, which is good."
"The Juniper EX Series's most valuable feature is its robustness. Additionally, it is easy to use and great GUI."
"Juniper switches are smart and we have all the features that we want. You can rollback to the previous version if you make any mistake during configuration. This is not possible in Cisco."
"It has features that allow us to go back to previous configurations."
"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."
"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."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It makes the management of SSIDs fairly easy."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to segment my infrastructure between phones, security systems, and other tasks."
"The product is very straightforward."
"You can access a single pane of glass and configure all the devices via the same access."
"It is easy to deploy, maintain, and update. It has been trouble-free so far. I am still a Cisco command-line bigot, but the web interface makes it a lot easier for our help desk to interact with a client. When the clients call in and say that they aren't able to connect, it takes the help desk 10 minutes or less to look at everything in the enterprise or location. They can look at the firewall, switches, or access points in the dashboard. That's why I like the dashboard."
"The most valuable feature is cloud management."
"Has a steep learning curve."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' tech support is hard to reach and slow."
"The stability could be better. We find, for example, Cisco, to be more stable."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking."
"They could improve the code, as there are some issues with it."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches would be improved by upgrading the uplink port in EX2300 categories service from 10G to 25G."
"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."
"It would be great if they can get the price down for small businesses."
"Meraki MS Switches could improve if it was an SDN. It will be more flexible and WWE can use one link for specific traffic and another one for other traffic."
"I've had some hardware failure issues on the POE side on several switches across the years. There seems to be a problem with the POE ports of their unit system."
"The pricing needs to be more competitive with other products on the market."
"The cameras should be better integrated."
"Meraki MS Switches do not offer as many features as their competitors, so we are quite limited in what we can configure on the switches and firewalls."
"Licensing is the only thing I can complain about. It's expensive, but everything is these days."
"Sometimes there's a problem with the pricing model they use. They should work to fix this."
