We performed a comparison between Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches and Juniper EX Series Ethernet 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."We have found the stability to be excellent."
"The most valuable features are virtualization and micro-segmentation."
"Linksys switches are easy to use. You can pull the switch out of the box, plug it in, and it's going to work."
"I found the feature of having no downtime to be the most valuable aspect of the tool."
"It is easy to use and stable."
"The solution is very flexible."
"They have so many series that can cater to SMBs, banks, or telcos. They have a wide range of options."
"The most valuable features are uptime and stability."
"Juniper is the best when it comes to the core layer."
"It's stable and reliable."
"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 most valuable feature of Juniper Ethernet Switches is the public remote configuration option. If you make a mistake in the configuration you can roll it back to the previous configuration automatically after a set time frame increment, such as five or more minutes. In all the other competitors once you press to enter the new configuration is already written in. You cannot roll it back automatically."
"It has features that allow us to go back to previous configurations."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"The solution has a high level of network functionality."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"Integration is not easy since the device component is separate."
"The product must be made cloud-based."
"Some experts say that the price may be lower or that the ethernet switches are complex to set up and manage, maybe because of limited port density, supports, and quality of service, like capabilities."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches’s stability and pricing needs improvement."
"The pricing can be a bit unstable."
"Technical documents and other configuration-related information should be more freely available online."
"They just need to simplify the learning curve."
"On a scale of one to ten, with one being the worst and ten being the best, I rate the tool's scalability as seven since there are some limitations."
"The difficulty of the installation of Juniper Ethernet Switches depends on the environment it is being implemented in. It is fairly straightforward in terms of being able to source the technical information as we need it. However, this process could improve."
"The updates are constantly breaking."
"It would be nice to have a more available list of modules that you can get for this solution."
"The operating system, Junos OS, often has bugs which forces rollbacks or additional upgrades to resolve."
"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."
"Juniper EX Series could improve the process and ease of updating the software. It is a difficult process."
"The durability of the devices could be better."
"You need to make a few local configurations to work with the solution. We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
