We compared ExtremeWireless and Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches across several parameters based on our users' reviews. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: ExtremeWireless stands out for its straightforward and efficient installation process, whereas the ease and complexity of Juniper Switches can vary. ExtremeWireless is highly regarded for its dependability, scalability, and seamless integration with network fabric. On the other hand, Juniper switches are valued for their combination of hardware and software, MPLS capabilities, and user-friendly interface. However, ExtremeWireless requires regular maintenance and comes with a higher cost, while Juniper switches receive mixed feedback regarding pricing, stability, and documentation. Juniper's customer service and support receive high praise, while opinions on the quality of support for ExtremeWireless are divided.
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The simplicity is great."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network. Additionally, when there is an update on the APs they are able to reboot quickly reducing downtime. Other solutions have a longer downtime when updates are done."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud-managed aspect."
"It provides seamless connectivity if you move around."
"ExtremeWireless has good performance."
"The security is very good."
"It's reliable and works well. It's pretty stable."
"It's cloud-based and very easy to deploy."
"The cloud-based management system is valuable."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"Junos OS is extremely flexible and easy to pick up."
"I like that it's fairly easy to implement these ethernet switches."
"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."
"The product is very helpful in troubleshooting."
"What I like most about this solution is that it is secure."
"It is stable."
"I like the VLAN capabilities, and the Junos interface is easy to use."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"The price could be better."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"The ExtremeWireless WiNG Access Point on-premise is not as good as the cloud and many of my customers are switching. It is easier for my clients to manage everything from the cloud. I currently use a model of the controller that does not support any cloud functionality."
"The management portal is in need of improvement."
"The main area for improvement is the company's local visibility."
"The reports could prove in ExtremeWireless. However, we are in the early stages of use and we might be able to configure them better."
"The cost is a little high."
"The product must be provided at a cheaper price."
"Technical support is an area that needs to be improved."
"The current product line is very high-level and is well suited for enterprise-level organizations, but they need a more cost-effective solution for smaller businesses."
"The technical support from Juniper Ethernet Switches could be better."
"The initial setup for Juniper switches is complex. Juniper has a new program that solves that problem a little bit, but it is expensive, so I don't use it. It is Juniper Mesh, Juniper Wire, or something like that where you plug in a switch, and it goes out to their cloud, finds a config, and brings it down. So, you can do everything cloud-based, but there is a fee for that. It is expensive, so I've never used it. If we were starting, we would try to do something like that. It is more for a large enterprise for managing hundreds of switches versus what we're doing. They should make its price more cost-effective or include it for new or smaller companies."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking."
"Some areas of technical support could be better."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"The operating system, Junos OS, often has bugs which forces rollbacks or additional upgrades to resolve."
"We need to start seeing some kind of AI to assist with some of what we really want to accomplish from a policy standpoint to achieve better efficiency."
"They should integrate VPN functionality with the solution."
