Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches and Ubiquiti UniFi Switches compete in the network switches market. Juniper appears to have an advantage due to its robust features and adaptability across various networks, while Ubiquiti offers cost-effectiveness and ease of use for smaller deployments.
Features: Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches offer superior security and reliability via the Junos operating system, Virtual Chassis technology for centralized management, and seamless integration with other vendor products. Ubiquiti UniFi Switches provide centralized management through the UniFi controller, simple setup with a rich GUI, and cost-effectiveness that benefits smaller deployments.
Room for Improvement: Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches are criticized for high pricing, issues with stability post-updates, and complex SD-WAN integration. Users seek more intuitive management. Ubiquiti UniFi Switches need enhanced support, better security, and improved firmware stability. Advanced configurations can complicate their management interface.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Juniper is versatile in on-premises, private, and hybrid cloud deployments but has mixed feedback regarding customer support responsiveness. Ubiquiti offers straightforward on-premises and hybrid cloud deployment but relies primarily on community forums for support, which is often seen as inconsistent.
Pricing and ROI: Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches have higher costs, but offer significant ROI through stability and less frequent upgrades. Licensing costs depend on features with competitive pricing possible through partnerships. Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are very cost-effective with no additional licensing fees, providing value for small to medium-sized businesses with low ongoing costs.
Juniper Ethernet Switches are made up of the EX Series product line. These EX Series Ethernet Switches provide branch, campus and data center networks with access, aggregation and core layer switching solutions. The end result is secure, fast and efficient application and data delivery.
Today's enterprise networks increasingly demand mobile access, optimal availability, virtualization, and unified communications. The Juniper Ethernet Switches EX Series caters for all of these requirements, ensuring business continuity, network flexibility and maximum productivity.
Juniper EX Series switches are AI-driven, operated and managed using the Mist AI cloud from Juniper. This gives EX customers simplified operations with insights, anomaly detection and automated troubleshooting, empowering IT teams to deliver the best user experience across the wired network.
Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are managed Gigabit switches (Available with 24 or 48 RJ45 Gigabit ports) designed to meet all your network needs while delivering excellent performance. The switches’ excellent network performance is combined with fiber connectivity that includes two SFP ports and the ability to process traffic without putting packet loss at risk.

Reviews from Real Users
A PeerSpot user who is a Director of Technical Operations/CTO at a consultancy says "The ability to deploy quickly and then having one central location for all the settings are its most valuable aspects."
"The integration with the controller is one of the most valuable features of these switches. They are also very stable. For example, we have some equipment that we haven't touched for four years that is still reliable," says Doru I., Senior solutions architect at Aplix Technologies
Murali S., Management Consultant at a consultancy, explains that “For the world where you have to balance traffic and traffic loads and bandwidth, their GUI makes it really easy because the switches, though they are enterprise grade level two or level three switches, the GUI is designed so that it's easy to set up VLANs where you need to control your traffic so that your phones don't break up and get choppy because of other people loading the network down too heavily."
We monitor all Ethernet Switches reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
