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 performance is pretty good."
"Meraki's site-to-site VPN function is phenomenal, and the VLAN is simple to use and set up. If you need the VLAN to sort the networks out, that works very well. The performance is also excellent."
"The interface is great. It's easy to understand for the customer."
"We found the initial setup to be easy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the interface because it is very simple and easy to learn, even for somebody who hasn't seen it before."
"Overall, the switches are really good."
"These switches are not expensive and their configuration is very easy. You can provision them on the dashboard, then you just connect them to everything."
"I like that I can patch and manage them remotely from the user portal."
"The interface management and the user access management is pretty good."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It's a well-rounded solution for routing."
"Some of the most valuable features are the simplicity, cost, usability, and power. As a package, it's extremely effective."
"This solution is very similar to the on-premises version making it easy to use for those who know the architect."
"The most valuable feature is that it has better throughput than its competitors."
"It is user-friendly, reliable, and cheap."
"The performance has been good."
"The quote-building process is challenging and it needs to be simplified."
"It would be great if they can get the price down for small businesses."
"The lead times can be long in terms of actually getting the hardware."
"There should be a focus on the emerging markets to offer better pricing. In India, they are offering it at better pricing for the emerging markets."
"Clients are very confused by technical support. They seem to have trouble reaching Meraki to get the assistance they need."
"It might be perceived as more of a niche product, partly due to its name, as it's still not entirely recognized by the market."
"The traffic reporting should be better in Meraki MS Switches. We want to be able to see all the traffic and where it is going. Additionally, detailed device utilization information would be very helpful for the security personnel."
"In reference to an area of improvement sometimes the switch does not connect to the internet initially."
"The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version."
"The packet filtering, user log data, and user access log could all be improved."
"There has to be more development in the OS. It's complex for this switch as compared to others like Cisco. For NetGear and Cisco, it's easy to adapt the VLAN concept but it should be simplified for MikroTik."
"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 RAM capacity offered by the product needs to be increased, as it is one area where the tool currently has some shortcomings."
"Improvements are needed with respect to some of the security, especially for VPN links between vendors other than Cisco."
"The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved."
"The user interface could improve and they should allow a license for IBS."
