We performed a comparison between Cisco 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."The initial setup was for Cisco Ethernet Switches was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"Cisco as a whole is flexible."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Ethernet Switches is its hardware."
"Good and stable operational experience with nearly no loss of hardware and very few software bugs."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches are stable."
"The initial setup is really easy."
"I like that it's easy to use."
"These routers and switches are very stable."
"This equipment is resilient and available at a good price."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"This is a good solution."
"This solution is easy to configure and it's very flexible."
"I have seen a return on investment since we didn't have to pay a licensing fee."
"It's great for small businesses or home offices."
"I've never had any issues with the solution."
"From a system integrator's perspective, Cisco must train system integrators, partners, and customers about their services."
"An improvement would be to change their market intention. Almost all the Cisco switches are now coming with a license called DNA. D for Delta, N for number and A for apple. That feature is required, he must purchase it and it is a mandatory thing that has been introduced. This is not matching with the Asian market."
"There could be an improvement in the licensing by reducing the price of the different types, such as essential, advantage, and premium."
"Its management should be improved."
"Integration with third-party products could be improved."
"Switches should be made stackable, even if they are not of the same model."
"The price is an area with a shortcoming in the solution."
"In terms of features, they tick all the boxes as of now. That could be because we tailor the solution around the product. I have not seen anything that pulls me back or is not working well for me. However, there could be better integration with the network monitoring systems. It doesn't mean it is currently not there, but there could be better discoverability with some of the network monitoring systems to be able to have more visibility. When you're setting up a control room, you can have more visibility into what is going on in the network. It has been doing that, but it can do that more."
"The solution needs to offer better documentation."
"The initial setup could be easier."
"Technical support could be better. They don't have good support like Cisco. It can also be more stable and scalable."
"The user interface allows you to do a lot of things, but it is not user-friendly."
"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."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"They need to create a license for IBS. I have a lot of clients that have spam on their networks."
"The manageability of the web-based UI needs to be improved."
