We performed a comparison between Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches and Meraki MS 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."In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"The solution is certainly scalable."
"The campus switches and access switches are the most valuable and simple to deploy for Virtual Chassis."
"The product is very helpful in troubleshooting."
"Juniper Switches' best feature is its flexibility."
"Junos OS is extremely flexible and easy to pick up."
"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 GUI interface distinguishes it from other vendors and makes it easy to operate."
"The performance is pretty good."
"You can access a single pane of glass and configure all the devices via the same access."
"Easily installable, with good scalability, stability and technical support."
"We have no problem with technical support from Cisco."
"This is a sophisticated product with easy configuration that can save time and effort."
"It helps manage multiple switches deployed in different locations with a single console on the cloud."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the interface because it is very simple and easy to learn, even for somebody who hasn't seen it before."
"The most valuable features of Meraki MS Switches are simple deployment and administration. You can have all your switches in one place and manage them."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' tech support is hard to reach and slow."
"More security could be provided, especially with the rising cyber-attacks in business organizations."
"All Juniper documentation is terrible."
"The management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."
"Juniper needs to get their code up to par because it isn't stable enough for a leaf and spine design."
"The operating system could be better."
"The stability of this solution should be improved."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches is not cheap. The tool needs improvement in UI."
"Communication of compliance risk is awkward at best and threatening at worst. It needs to be addressed."
"They need to work on prioritizing different types of data on the network, whether it's voice, data, video, et cetera. Video needs to be prioritized in a much better way, for example."
"This solution is too simple for some cases, and there should be more configuration options."
"In this solution, you are lacking a feature that Cisco Classic has that allows you to save your configuration with a serial cable."
"We aren't missing any features."
"Clients are very confused by technical support. They seem to have trouble reaching Meraki to get the assistance they need."
"The quote-building process is challenging and it needs to be simplified."
"The stability of the solution isn't ideal. We've had a lot of problems with the switches. They are unstable and unreliable. We need to reboot them often."
