We performed a comparison between Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches and Ubiquiti UniFi 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."One of the most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches is they are rugged."
"It is stable."
"The solution is easy to use and has good integration."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"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."
"The solution has a high level of network functionality."
"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."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches are high-end solutions."
"Managing the switches, such as the main server router, is straightforward. If you use UniFi, it’s easy because everything is integrated into the product. You can discover and manage any connected device with just one piece of equipment, like the UniFi controller. This applies to both the wireless LAN and the wired LAN. UniFi products are simple to manage and help maintain a good network profile."
"The product’s most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"It is a high-quality product, and it won't let you down."
"The solution’s scalability is good."
"The user interface makes it simple to configure and manage."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is that once you buy them, you own them."
"The product's initial setup phase is very straightforward."
"It's very easy to deploy – much easier than MikroTik. It's very seamless and well-designed."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches is not cheap. The tool needs improvement in UI."
"The management platforms for the network need improvement."
"The operating system could be better."
"Some areas of technical support could be better."
"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."
"It would be nice to have a more available list of modules that you can get for this solution."
"Jupiter Switches' configuration is a little difficult to understand."
"The packet channelizing feature should be improved."
"The solution needs to improve its documentation because it is quite poor."
"One area for improvement would be having a web interface directly on the device itself. That's the one thing that makes them more difficult for less experienced technicians to configure."
"Most configuration can be done on the GUI but sometimes you have to go under the hood and tweak on the CLI."
"I had some initial problems with the configuration that necessitated contacting technical support."
"The stability and installation could be improved."
"It's difficult to manage the WiFi on the edge switches in the same console."
"I would recommend changing the solution to a recognized one, such as Check Point or Fortinet."
"Ubiquiti tends to end-of-life things faster than other companies do. Cisco tends to be in the 8-, 10-, 12-year time frame, and Ubiquiti tends to be in the 4- or 5-year time frame."
