We performed a comparison between Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches and Juniper EX Series Ethernet 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."Cisco products are always stable."
"In a previous use case, we deployed Linksys Switches for blocking unwanted signals within a premises with the help of their clean air technology. This was one of the notable advantages of Linksys Switches over Cisco."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is basic networking functionality."
"Cisco Linksys is scalable. You can use it as an extender, too."
"Linksys switches help us manage connected equipment because we can see the historical data on all devices connected to this switch."
"The most valuable feature is the dynamic routing."
"I use the tool because of its performance, reliability, and security."
"The Virtual Chassis, because you have a centralized administration of a set of switches which makes the operation more efficient."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"The solution is easy to use and has good integration."
"The thing that sets Juniper apart from most switches is that when you're in the command line and you make a configuration change, you just write the command and then say "commit confirmed minutes". For example, I'm configuring a switch here in my office, which is five miles away, and I say, "commit confirmed 5". If I can't get back to the interface within five minutes to be able to make sure the switch came up, it rolls back to the previous configuration. This way I do not get locked out, or the switch doesn't get messed up because of the incorrect configuration. That's an automatic feature, which is pretty slick. I haven't seen that feature with other vendors that I've worked with. That's probably my most favorite feature."
"The most valuable feature is switching on our network."
"Both Juniper and Cisco switches are interoperable."
"The most valuable feature is the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)."
"Juniper supports all our connectivity infrastructure in our datacenter, supporting optimal availability and performance for services."
"The product’s price is a bit high."
"Endpoints need to be improved."
"In the future, I would like to see more focus on software-defined networking solutions."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is an expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."
"We are expecting one software that can run across all of Cisco hardware, software, and Cisco Switch router, similar to what Juniper has."
"Cisco offers a wide range of features, and in the enterprise and mid-segment market in Europe, we make use of most of them. Some features are essential for our operations, while others may go unused. The feature set provided by Cisco is comprehensive, and there's little more we could ask for. It would be a nice addition if, in the future, Cisco switches could incorporate artificial intelligence to provide proactive feedback and guidance instead of having to search for solutions ourselves. This development is likely to come with time, and we'll patiently await such enhanced functionality."
"Pricing is an area with a shortcoming since the solution is expensive."
"The sales support could improve, they are not supplying the solution on time. For some projects, we have had to wait many months."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"The operating system, Junos OS, often has bugs which forces rollbacks or additional upgrades to resolve."
"The management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches would be improved by upgrading the uplink port in EX2300 categories service from 10G to 25G."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"The tool should improve its fabric."
"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."
"Support could be improved."
