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 ease of management through the command line interface is very good."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches is they are rugged."
"The campus switches and access switches are the most valuable and simple to deploy for Virtual Chassis."
"Juniper switches are very good with MPLS."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' best features are the high packer sorting and throughput, good uplink port capacity, and virtual setup."
"The most valuable feature is the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. I have not faced any issues with the product whatsoever."
"The solution is very powerful and versatile."
"The ability to manage them is the big valuable feature. The ease of use is great."
"The solution is reliable and it is easy to setup."
"It's nice, if there is an issue, to be able to go in through the remote. The fact that the remote doesn't require a static IP... is nice. They initiate the contact to the outside world, without requiring a static to get in."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Remote management is the most important thing for us. And monitoring, of course, allows us to see when something is wrong with a client. We get notified that an access point is down, for instance, or that there are too many clients on one access point, so that we can log into the portal and manage the solution with the client instantly, from either a laptop or a cell phone, with the Insight app."
"The product is easy to deploy."
"The packet channelizing feature should be improved."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' tech support is hard to reach and slow."
"EX switches take too long to boot when we restart them for maintenance. We need to minimize downtime. Another issue is the command line interface. Juniper's commands are different from other switches, so it's hard to remember them."
"The solution is a bit costly compared to other products."
"Wireless and monitoring definitely could be improved."
"I have found the scalability could be improved in the version I was using."
"Juniper should improve the support services provided to users, as it is one of its areas with certain shortcomings."
"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."
"The IGMP specifics of the web management console could use a bit of clarification."
"Lacks switches with additional ports that provide room for new protocols of communications."
"There's a lack of chips and, consequently, a lack of deliveries. They're out of stock at their European warehouse."
"Support needs to be improved."
"There are some design issues on which they really missed the boat. The problem has to do with rack mounting them because the lights and jacks should all be on the front, and the power on the back. The way they did it makes it really difficult to use them in a rack environment, because when the lights are on the opposite side of the jacks... you usually can't see the back side of a rack. You can't get back there to see, so it's just crazy."
"When the power does go out, or if we do a soft shutdown, some of the transceivers or the monitor don't recognize when it turns back on, so I have to physically unplug it and plug it back in and then it works. We're working with NETGEAR's engineers to figure out why that's happening."
"This product lacks a CLI interface."
"Centralized monitoring is there, but competitors like Cisco Prime are at a higher level of centralized monitoring."
