We performed a comparison between Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches and Ubiquiti UniFi 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."Juniper Ethernet Switches' best features are the high packer sorting and throughput, good uplink port capacity, and virtual setup."
"I like the simplicity of it."
"The campus switches and access switches are the most valuable and simple to deploy for Virtual Chassis."
"I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10 for scalability."
"One of the most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches is they are rugged."
"The Juniper EX Series's most valuable feature is its robustness. Additionally, it is easy to use and great GUI."
"The platform is very stable in terms of consistency and reliability."
"The Juniper Ethernet switch feature I find the most valuable is reliability."
"Because it's a managed switch, I have the ability to set controls and configure traffic priorities, VLAN ports, etc."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is a stable solution."
"It is a high-quality product, and it won't let you down."
"The integration with the controller is one of the most valuable features of these switches. They are also very stable. For example, we have some equipment that we haven't touched for four years that is still reliable."
"Ubiquiti is one step above the consumer level. They cost a little bit more, but they just seem to be drop-dead reliable, and they're keeping up with the latest standards."
"Good price point and very simple to use."
"We have integrated the tool for PoE switches and non-PoE switches. Its most valuable feature is SD-WAN. UniFi SD-WAN can access all statistics and performance data in one interface, enabling us to support clients across different locations remotely. Additionally, we can even restart devices remotely through the UniFi SD-WAN."
"Great information on the graphical interface."
"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."
"The upgrading of the system should be simplified and made faster."
"The updates are constantly breaking."
"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."
"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 packet channelizing feature should be improved."
"EX switches take too long to boot when we restart them for maintenance. We need to minimize downtime. Another issue is the command line interface. Juniper's commands are different from other switches, so it's hard to remember them."
"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."
"I'd like there to be better reporting for the solution."
"The initial deployment was a bit complex."
"The VPN technology in Ubiquiti products is really difficult for beginners who do not have the right skills."
"I had some initial problems with the configuration that necessitated contacting technical support."
"They can improve the visibility of networks to match Meraki switches, which have good visibility tools to go through the network. In a Meraki device, you get a clear picture when using the bug interface. You can also see its neighbors and have a clear picture of all connected devices. Ubiquiti UniFi Switches do not have such features that Meraki switches provide."
"I think they need to provide a better firewall solution."
"Most configuration can be done on the GUI but sometimes you have to go under the hood and tweak on the CLI."
"The stability and installation could be improved."
