We performed a comparison between Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches and MikroTik Routers and 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 solution is scalable. It supports my five-year expansion plan. I could expand without a problem."
"The platform is very stable in terms of consistency and reliability."
"The security is good."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Ethernet Switches is the public remote configuration option. If you make a mistake in the configuration you can roll it back to the previous configuration automatically after a set time frame increment, such as five or more minutes. In all the other competitors once you press to enter the new configuration is already written in. You cannot roll it back automatically."
"Juniper is the best when it comes to the core layer."
"It's pretty good as compared to other vendors."
"This solution is impeccable."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"We have found this solution is quite robust and there are a lot of features in a small device."
"I like the routing features."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"I have seen a return on investment since we didn't have to pay a licensing fee."
"I've never had any issues with the solution."
"The flexible IP firewall and IP network address translation make it very easy to give access to internal services."
"Load balancing is one of the valuable features of the solution...In short, MikroTik provides a very user-friendly GUI option."
"It's great for small businesses or home offices."
"The technical support from Juniper Ethernet Switches could be better."
"The initial setup of switches is not that simple."
"Their web GUI interface needs to be a lot better, especially when compared to HP. The command line is good, but you have to know how to get around it. The GUI is clunky and very slow."
"There are multiple areas of improvement in Juniper EX series switches. In terms of speed and pricing, while Juniper provides good quality services, some clients still find the price very high compared to other competitors. Also there is a need for certain features to be enhanced like clear our configuration process which will help to make Juniper switches more stronger. However, there are also multiple challenges including understanding and configuration of certain aspects difficult without assistance. Despite these kinds of challenges, there have been multiple solutions and huge potential of improvement in Juniper."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"We are not very pleased with their performance."
"The operating system, Junos OS, often has bugs which forces rollbacks or additional upgrades to resolve."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches lack to offer the latest management tools."
"I would appreciate enhancements to impose more restrictions on VPN connections."
"As far as improvements, there are basically only two things I would suggest. First, I think they should provide extensive training for the new releases of products, especially in the LTE space. Second, they could spend more time ensuring that their OS releases are more stable, rather than waiting for things to fall apart on the customer's premises before they make the necessary changes."
"The queuing functionality needs improvement. The initial setup could be simplified."
"The solution does suffer from freezing and corruption issues."
"There is an area of improvement. The firewall features are self-contained, but features like email scanning and voice control should be improved. This is the best routing product."
"They could improve their product if they set, for instance, a controller for wireless LAN. That would allow them to really have something more than an access point."
"It is slow, old and unfriendly."
"I would like to see a cluster feature added, where multiple devices can be configured and managed as one. One is in a standby state while the other is active, and if one fails then the other takes over."
