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."We have multiple cases of the customers trying to upgrade their network from Cisco, Aruba and Huawei to Juniper. They do this basically because they want to modernise their network and have an increased capacity. This shift improves their functionality because the Juniper Ethernet switches are more advanced. We provide them with assistance to configure switches, access points and Wi-Fi."
"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."
"One of the nicest things about Juniper switches is they work well with other vendor products. When you have to go into a situation where other vendor switches are present, you can make it work."
"The solution is easy to use and has good integration."
"This is a lower cost product with better features than the competition."
"The platform is very stable in terms of consistency and reliability."
"I like that it's fairly easy to implement these ethernet switches."
"Juniper switches are smart and we have all the features that we want. You can rollback to the previous version if you make any mistake during configuration. This is not possible in Cisco."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"It's great for small businesses or home offices."
"We make use of a script that will automatically re-route traffic when connections are slow."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do anything on all platforms."
"These routers and switches are very stable."
"The price is a big factor. They are very affordable, and the quality is high."
"The radius and wireless features are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"The deployment process of MikroTik routers and switches is very convenient since it is not command-driven and comes with a graphical user interface, making it much easier to operate."
"The solution is a bit costly compared to other products."
"They should integrate VPN functionality with the solution."
"Support could be improved."
"Jupiter Switches' configuration is a little difficult to understand."
"More security could be provided, especially with the rising cyber-attacks in business organizations."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking."
"The stability of this solution should be improved."
"Has a steep learning curve."
"MikroTik does not have a wireless solution. If they created a high-performance wireless solution we would deploy it in our infrastructure."
"The batch management could be improved."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches needs to improve stability."
"The product needs to include more power."
"The interface for management could be improved."
"I would appreciate enhancements to impose more restrictions on VPN connections."
"Wireless throughput has not kept up with the competition."
"It would be very good if these products are accessible via different kinds of shells and GUI. It will make these solutions very usable."
