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."The feature I like the most is the ability to reword changes before committing to the change. We can always reword changes in 10 minutes if they don't work."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"The solution has a high level of network functionality."
"I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10 for scalability."
"The most valuable feature is that the CLI is the same on all of the Juniper devices, including routers, switches, and firewalls."
"Juniper supports all our connectivity infrastructure in our datacenter, supporting optimal availability and performance for services."
"I like the VLAN capabilities, and the Junos interface is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is switching on our network."
"The technical support is very good. They offer some of the best support on the market."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to orchestrate the network from the cloud."
"It is easy to set up and easy to monitor. It is also easy to check the status of the switch."
"To me, this is a product that meets all of the needs that anyone could possibly have for a networking device."
"They're easy to update."
"You can access a single pane of glass and configure all the devices via the same access."
"Meraki MS Switches is easy to use and implement."
"The most valuable features are the cloud management, the monitoring, and the visibility available on the report's facts on the cloud controller."
"Juniper needs to get their code up to par because it isn't stable enough for a leaf and spine design."
"Juniper should improve the support services provided to users, as it is one of its areas with certain shortcomings."
"The initial setup of switches is not that simple."
"They could provide better security tools."
"The operating system could be better."
"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."
"More security could be provided, especially with the rising cyber-attacks in business organizations."
"You need to make a few local configurations to work with the solution. We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"Meraki MS Switches do not offer as many features as their competitors, so we are quite limited in what we can configure on the switches and firewalls."
"This solution is too simple for some cases, and there should be more configuration options."
"The throughputs, especially the throughput path, can be improved on the core switches. I think they should improve the throughput in the core switches to enable higher throughputs."
"The reporting could be improved and could be more granular."
"Some people would have some reservations about the yearly subscription. Maybe they could offer an option of having a one-off or perpetual license to let people test it and see how it goes."
"In terms of troubleshooting, if we get more tools there is an issue."
"They're definitely missing some of the higher end data center Cisco features."
"It is a compact switch, so there are a limited number of ports, and it needs improvement in terms of scalability."
