We performed a comparison between Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches and MikroTik Cloud Router Switch 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 campus switches and access switches are the most valuable and simple to deploy for Virtual Chassis."
"The product is very helpful in troubleshooting."
"I like the simplicity of it."
"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."
"This is a lower cost product with better features than the competition."
"The most valuable feature is that Juniper is multiple kernels, so there's isolation, which means you won't get a process that runs away, creating problems across the whole platform."
"It is stable."
"Both Juniper and Cisco switches are interoperable."
"This solution is very similar to the on-premises version making it easy to use for those who know the architect."
"The beauty of MikroTik is that you have flexibility with the routing parts."
"There are a lot of features to control permitting or stopping packets in the network."
"It is easy to set up."
"The interface management and the user access management is pretty good."
"The performance has been good."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"The GUI is easy to use."
"More security could be provided, especially with the rising cyber-attacks in business organizations."
"The Virtual Chassis Fabric is kind of complicated to troubleshoot sometimes. On the MPLS side, they're good — they're fine for the pseudo-wires and stuff—but they need more work on the LAN. It is difficult to troubleshoot their LAN technologies like Virtual Chassis."
"We are undergoing a migration to software-defined networking. Different vendors have to integrate with each other and we are not seeing this type of capability within Juniper. We are getting left behind in this technology trend by staying with this solution. Juniper is also losing a bit of market share because of this."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking."
"The configuration could be made simpler."
"Jupiter Switches' configuration is a little difficult to understand."
"We are not very pleased with their performance."
"The upgrading of the system should be simplified and made faster."
"The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved."
"The user interface could improve and they should allow a license for IBS."
"Stuff that I'd like to be improved is really just training and documentation because I think the feature set is full. Another improvement I'd suggest is that their new, bigger releases should be a bit more stable."
"The initial setup is complex."
"If MikroTik had a marketing team and support team in India then it would be much easier for us to get the product, as well as support."
"It happens that you may find your network is down, if you reboot the switch, they come up. However, sometimes, they reset themselves. That's a big issue."
"MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera."
"The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version."
