We performed a comparison between Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches and NETGEAR 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 certainly scalable."
"It's easy to use."
"This is a lower cost product with better features than the competition."
"Juniper EX Series is part of the Junos operating system and has a candidate configuration feature, which means changes are not immediately applied. It has a consistent command structure across all platforms and can handle both layer-three routing and layer-two switching. Additionally, the Junos OS offers virtualization options and support for multi-chassis and fabric switching. Overall, the Juniper EX Series is a versatile and powerful solution."
"It is stable."
"Juniper switches are very good with MPLS."
"The GUI interface distinguishes it from other vendors and makes it easy to operate."
"The platform is very stable in terms of consistency and reliability."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The remote management tools are fantastic. The combination of the webpage as well as the app makes life so much easier. I don't need to go and visit sites to do upgrades or any sorts of changes. The firmware can all be deployed remotely. I can see the traffic on each of the switch ports remotely as well, so I can see if we've got problems, down to an individual port. It's very granular."
"You are not limited in terms of stacking ports, and especially, if you're using the 96X as a core switch, the scalability, I could see this being very large. If you're using a type of a hybrid topology with a core switch going out to multiple switch stacks, or something like that, I could see the scalability of this being very good, especially considering the kind of backplane switching capacity on the 96X."
"The stability is good. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The ability to manage them is the big valuable feature. The ease of use is great."
"Its setup, usage, and access are most valuable. It is a very easy switch to set up."
"The solution is very powerful and versatile."
"The big winner for NETGEAR is their modular switch: the 96X version. That is something that you don't see in the market anywhere else, except for Cisco who has it at a high level for a high expense. The ability to customize your own switch with their modules is a big plus for what we do in the market right now. Instead of having to piece together standardized switches, trying to make something work, or fitting the design into the mold, the modular switches are aware that you can make a mark in the industry because you purchased one switch and design with different modules added and removed later on for functionality."
"You need to make a few local configurations to work with the solution. We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"The configuration could be made simpler."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve in the EX 2300 model because it does not support IPsec VPN. Only the models at 3400 or higher support it. Additionally, there is a need for support for Mac which is lacking. Some of their competitors, such as Cisco, support Mac."
"I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches lack to offer the latest management tools."
"In an upcoming release, Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve by having more microservices."
"The durability of the devices could be better."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' operating systems get corrupted when the power fails. They have to improve this issue. I may have to use a newer version."
"Perhaps in the future, we will have even more different types of switches and be able to fulfill more collections."
"There is a technical problem they can't seem to solve. It doesn't support multicast packets. In layman's terms, Mac computers can't print over the network."
"The product's stability has certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"If they could come up with ways to look at metrics on it while the video is capping through the system, that would be nice. There could be some interesting uses for that, but it's a long way off."
"There is a lack of documentation, and the documentation I have is unclear, so I have to rely on Google for information."
"One area that has room for improvement, and I know NETGEAR is working on it, is adding more features to the products lines in terms of what we can manage through the Insight portal... not all Layer 2 or Layer 3 settings are there yet."
"The solution needs centralized management and centralized configuration."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the response time for technical support."
