We performed a comparison between Cisco Cloud Services Router and MikroTik Cloud Router Switch based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Routers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"The solution has good performance."
"It allowed us to create a more secure VPN than we would have been able to do without it."
"The most important feature is that it is designed for mobile vehicle communication in harsh conditions."
"It is definitely scalable. It can handle a lot more traffic and group work compared to any other products that I've evaluated. It could easily scale a lot more than what I'm doing right now."
"This solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the SNMP traps that I use to monitor the router and the availability of the network."
"It integrates well with the other products we're using. We have it with multiple windows like Palo Alto, Arista and it easily integrated with them."
"It provides peace of mind because it is a stable product that you aren't going to lose sleep over at night wondering if it will be running or not."
"It connects all the accounts with the weaknesses, and this is what we were looking for. Also, it connects with the on-premise side."
"This solution is very similar to the on-premises version making it easy to use for those who know the architect."
"Some of the most valuable features are the simplicity, cost, usability, and power. As a package, it's extremely effective."
"The interface management and the user access management is pretty good."
"It's a well-rounded solution for routing."
"There are a lot of features to control permitting or stopping packets in the network."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The beauty of MikroTik is that you have flexibility with the routing parts."
"I like that it's quite flexible and addresses different issues. It's quite easy to use, and the pricing is great. We find them to be very capable switches."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"The configuration is difficult."
"I would like to see better security, where there are more access controls and data confidentiality."
"They have an online registration that happens after they pick up block months. If they could decrease to yearly or something, sometimes the device is not cell phone accessible. That becomes an issue or challenge for us. If that can be improved, that would be really great."
"A CAPEX/OPEX model, where the pricing model is subscription-based, would give much better flexibility for the customers. The pricing and model for Cisco Cloud Services Router and other Cisco products could be improved."
"You can use this router in a scalable solution but it has its limitations."
"I would like the ability to moderate between devices on-premise to off-premise. This would be a vast improvement."
"Technical support could be better. I am missing a single pane of glass, where I can see all the connections, etc."
"It does the job, but it's not cloud native. It could be even better, like having a single pane of glass and being less expensive."
"The user interface could improve and they should allow a license for IBS."
"In medium to large sectors, there's a necessity for managing aspects like proxy firewalls."
"It would be even better with a centralized management platform."
"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."
"The bulk efficiencies and the control of traffic could be a bit better."
"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."
"Technical support could be better."
"The RAM capacity offered by the product needs to be increased, as it is one area where the tool currently has some shortcomings."
