We performed a comparison between Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches and MikroTik Routers and 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."I like the simplicity of it."
"This solution is impeccable."
"It has features that allow us to go back to previous configurations."
"I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10 for scalability."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"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."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"The features of the equipment fit all the needs of the customers."
"These routers and switches are very stable."
"I've never had any issues with the solution."
"They are stable."
"MikroTik routers are very user-friendly and easy to manage"
"We've enjoyed the fact that it has very good performance."
"The stability is good."
"It's pretty stable."
"Juniper needs to get their code up to par because it isn't stable enough for a leaf and spine design."
"I would like the ability to operate with other operating systems."
"Juniper should improve the support services provided to users, as it is one of its areas with certain shortcomings."
"Their web GUI interface needs to be a lot better, especially when compared to HP. The command line is good, but you have to know how to get around it. The GUI is clunky and very slow."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve in the EX 2300 model because it does not support IPsec VPN. Only the models at 3400 or higher support it. Additionally, there is a need for support for Mac which is lacking. Some of their competitors, such as Cisco, support Mac."
"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 management platforms for the network need improvement."
"There are multiple areas of improvement in Juniper EX series switches. In terms of speed and pricing, while Juniper provides good quality services, some clients still find the price very high compared to other competitors. Also there is a need for certain features to be enhanced like clear our configuration process which will help to make Juniper switches more stronger. However, there are also multiple challenges including understanding and configuration of certain aspects difficult without assistance. Despite these kinds of challenges, there have been multiple solutions and huge potential of improvement in Juniper."
"It would be nice if the interface was easier to use."
"The solution does suffer from freezing and corruption issues."
"MikroTik does not have a wireless solution. If they created a high-performance wireless solution we would deploy it in our infrastructure."
"The solution needs to improve its security firewalls and mirror that of, for example, Sophos, or FortiGate."
"Technical support could be better. They don't have good support like Cisco. It can also be more stable and scalable."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches need a firewall policy to secure the network. I also want Mikrotic to add load balancing to the firewall policy, as it's currently hard to do in Mikrotik devices."
"They lack the extended warranty for the equipment. They only provide a warranty for one year as compared to the other vendors who offer a warranty for three years, five years, and lifetime, etc."
"The solution is a complicated device."
