We performed a comparison between Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches and Juniper EX Series Ethernet 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."What matters most to me is the security of the product, and Cisco does a pretty good job."
"Ease-of-use and ease-of-management are good qualities of this product."
"They are good for connecting users. These switches are very stable. We have been using them for three years, and we haven't had any problems."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is a stable solution."
"I found the feature of having no downtime to be the most valuable aspect of the tool."
"Cisco's product is excellent and highly stable with decades of experience in switching and technology. It's a top-notch solution when your entire network operates within the Cisco ecosystem, allowing for a wide range of capabilities. However, the challenge with Cisco lies in its prioritization. When integrating with third-party solutions, like Juniper, it can be somewhat challenging, but it still performs reasonably well. Setting up Cisco switches is not a straightforward process; it's complex and requires more than simply powering them on and figuring things out as you go. You need a solid understanding of switch and stack configuration because Cisco has its unique software features. Cisco excels in vendor lock-in, meaning that if you want to combine Cisco switches with non-Cisco functionality, it can be both time-consuming and costly. While Cisco offers the most extensive capabilities, it can also be less flexible and more challenging when you want to deviate from the Cisco ecosystem."
"I have found their security features the most valuable. These security features are supported on most of the other features. Similarly, the protocols and the standards are supported on other features, such as the stacking feature, the availability feature, internet channel, link application, and protocols. There are so many features on these features."
"The solution is very flexible."
"The scalability is excellent. It's one of the aspects of the solution that is quite good."
"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 security is good."
"The Virtual Chassis, because you have a centralized administration of a set of switches which makes the operation more efficient."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"The solution is certainly scalable."
"It's easy to use."
"It is easy to configure, and there are three routing switches."
"Their price is quite high compared to their competitors."
"On a scale of one to ten, with one being the worst and ten being the best, I rate the tool's scalability as seven since there are some limitations."
"The user interface needs a lot of improvement."
"Integration is not easy since the device component is separate."
"Linksys switches are expensive but scalable."
"Make them tougher and more ruggedized for warmer and Industrial types of environments, and HumiSeal the main boards and internal components."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches’s stability and pricing needs improvement."
"Scalability-wise, this solution is not designed for small businesses."
"They could improve the code, as there are some issues with it."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches lack to offer the latest management tools."
"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."
"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."
"The management platforms for the network need improvement."
"The price could be a bit lower."
"The operating system could be better."
