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 most valuable feature is the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)."
"The security is good."
"The solution has a high level of network functionality."
"The virtual Chassis feature for stacking is good in general, with high bandwidth for the link, which is good."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' most valuable feature is the Juniper-Mist cloud, which facilitates management of the switches and access points."
"The combination of hardware and software makes it a very good solution. It is a modern protocol that they have supported in the switches. The solution has good performance."
"There is no end to the ability to scale Juniper."
"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."
"We're very happy with what we are getting out of the solution in general. The features are good. They're comparable to other brands such as Cisco and HP."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. You can typically set them up in about 30 minutes."
"I have seen a return on investment since we didn't have to pay a licensing fee."
"I have found one of the most valuable features to be the hotspot network."
"I've never had any issues with the solution."
"We use the product for VPN."
"We make use of a script that will automatically re-route traffic when connections are slow."
"It's very user-friendly."
"The durability of the devices could be better."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"The upgrading of the system should be simplified and made faster."
"The initial setup of switches is not that simple."
"Stability could be better, especially during a reboot. We have had some issues recently with the software getting corrupt on reboot, which causes a lot of downtime."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking."
"They should integrate VPN functionality with the solution."
"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."
"The solution is a complicated device."
"The solution needs to improve its security firewalls and mirror that of, for example, Sophos, or FortiGate."
"Sometimes, when I need to reboot or change software, MikroTik crashes."
"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."
"The solution needs to be more robust. In case of power fluctuations, MikroTik routers are more vulnerable to malfunctioning."
"They lack the extended warranty for the equipment. They only provide a warranty for one year as compared to the other vendors who offer a warranty for three years, five years, and lifetime, etc."
"Troubleshooting can be complex."
"The solution needs to offer better documentation."
