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."The most valuable feature is that the CLI is the same on all of the Juniper devices, including routers, switches, and firewalls."
"What I like most about this solution is that it is secure."
"The solution is easy to use and has good integration."
"The virtual Chassis feature for stacking is good in general, with high bandwidth for the link, which is good."
"The platform is very stable in terms of consistency and reliability."
"Juniper supports all our connectivity infrastructure in our datacenter, supporting optimal availability and performance for services."
"Juniper switches are very good with MPLS."
"I like that it's fairly easy to implement these ethernet switches."
"Provides good statistics and it doesn't require teaching command lines."
"I like the portal, it's really interesting."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and configuration. It has a cloud-based configuration that makes it easy."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is the ease of stacking. The configuration on the MS Switches is very good, as well as its ability to assign the LANs."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Being able to look at every port and see what it is connected to is very useful. Everything seems to be running really well. They've got everything covered. They have a really cool mounting system at the bottom and an access point that you can use to level up your device. It is kind of cool."
"The cloud part of Meraki Switches is very good. They also have a good GUI. It's a complete solution. I like the switching and the monitoring part."
"You can access a single pane of glass and configure all the devices via the same access."
"The operating system could be better."
"It was very difficult to get technical support, here in Egypt. There is no local support available."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"It would be nice to have a more available list of modules that you can get for this solution."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' tech support is hard to reach and slow."
"The upgrading of the system should be simplified and made faster."
"The interface could be better. It needs improvement."
"One potential drawback of the Juniper EX Series has been that those without experience using a command-line interface (CLI) may find it intimidating. However, Junos is working on improving this by offering tools, such as Juniper Mist with Wired Assurance and Apstra. Additionally, the graphical user interface (GUI) could be improved as it has been considered lackluster across the board in Junos."
"In terms of troubleshooting, if we get more tools there is an issue."
"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."
"Better alerting capabilities are needed because they do not provide enough notification or detail about events."
"The solution does not fit all use cases."
"The MS Switches are incapable of doing trunking."
"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."
"The quote-building process is challenging and it needs to be simplified."
"We had issues with the stability, issues with the pricing, and the total cost of ownership."
