We performed a comparison between Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches and Meraki MS 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."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."
"It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"Juniper switches are very good with MPLS."
"The product is very helpful in troubleshooting."
"Juniper Switches' best feature is its flexibility."
"The security is good."
"The most valuable feature is switching on our network."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to segment my infrastructure between phones, security systems, and other tasks."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to orchestrate the network from the cloud."
"The switches are very stable."
"These switches are not expensive and their configuration is very easy. You can provision them on the dashboard, then you just connect them to everything."
"The top feature of Meraki MS switches for me is Layer 7 application visibility. Another positive in general is that you don't need to set up a console to the switch itself; it dials in to a single dashboard where you can completely manage all your network devices."
"The most valuable features of Meraki MS Switches are ease of use, and we can find technical knowledge easily."
"Setting up a switch can be performed prior to having your hands on the device. Once you purchase a Meraki switch you will get an email from Meraki with a code to add to your dashboard and then you can start setting up your switch so when it arrives it will download its configuration and be all setup."
"The product is very straightforward."
"Its distribution channel and the ease of availability should be improved."
"Jupiter Switches' configuration is a little difficult to understand."
"They could provide better security tools."
"The technical support from Juniper Ethernet Switches could be better."
"Juniper should improve the support services provided to users, as it is one of its areas with certain shortcomings."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' tech support is hard to reach and slow."
"The operating system could be better."
"In an upcoming release, Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve by having more microservices."
"Meraki MS Switches could improve the process of installing firmware."
"The traffic reporting should be better in Meraki MS Switches. We want to be able to see all the traffic and where it is going. Additionally, detailed device utilization information would be very helpful for the security personnel."
"They're definitely missing some of the higher end data center Cisco features."
"The product demonstrates poor price per performance when compared with its competitors."
"Sometimes there's a problem with the pricing model they use. They should work to fix this."
"Sometimes the controller in the cloud that controls the access points does not have the most accurate information. There is sometimes a glitch in keeping the management controller that is in the cloud up to date."
"Its troubleshooting features need work."
"It can have better security. It needs more security enhancements, and in particular, a zero-trust element. If we could have external and internal users vetted in the same way as a zero-trust network, that will be handy."
