We performed a comparison between Arista Networks Platform 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."Arista Networks Platform has a feature that helps with monitoring and management."
"What we like most is its performance to price ratio."
"We find the CloudVision switching feature of this solution really useful."
"The solution is very stable."
"Arista Networks Platform is comfortable, easy to deploy, and easy to manage, with non-blocking technology. Additionally, it has a useful CloudVision platform and automation capabilities."
"The solution has good load latency. They're the market leader in this aspect right now."
"It provides telemetry and visibility for many metrics that are not supported by most of the other vendors. Out of the box, no third party solutions are needed."
"The best part is the single operating system that they have. Regardless of your model, it's the same operating system functioning across the board, which means you don't have to worry about backward compatibilities between your older switches and the new ones that you deploy."
"I like MikroTik's GUI. It's completely handy and easy to handle because of its GUI. Despite other brands like Cisco urging me to switch, I didn't because they don't have a GUI. This is the most comfortable thing in my project that anyone can use easily. It's effortless to maintain MikroTik routers because both screens make it very easy in GUI mode. You can easily interact with your hardware."
"This is a good solution."
"We have not had any downtime with it. It has been a solid performer that way."
"It has a lot of features. I haven't explored them all yet."
"It's pretty stable."
"We have use cases like providing power over ethernet, as an access controller for Wi-Fi, and normal networking."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches are stable"
"We make use of a script that will automatically re-route traffic when connections are slow."
"My company does face issues in terms of interoperability when it comes to the product, making it an area that needs to be fixed."
"They should have a more stable code."
"The community is good but is not good enough. It still needs to grow more."
"The product fails to offer functions related to cloud orchestration, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"Its price can be better."
"The solution needs to accommodate new features."
"Something that you will often hear about Arista products is that the price is a bit too high and, like with Cisco, we sometimes have problems with our customers because of its pricing."
"The solution is quite expensive. One of the negative aspects of it is the pricing."
"Improvements could be made in terms of SD-WAN capabilities and zero-touch provisioning."
"MikroTik does not have a wireless solution. If they created a high-performance wireless solution we would deploy it in our infrastructure."
"If the client wants bigger capacity, there may be some issues. That is, there may be issues with scalability."
"The biggest thing that needs improvement is the support."
"It is slow, old and unfriendly."
"The solution needs to offer better documentation."
"As far as improvements, there are basically only two things I would suggest. First, I think they should provide extensive training for the new releases of products, especially in the LTE space. Second, they could spend more time ensuring that their OS releases are more stable, rather than waiting for things to fall apart on the customer's premises before they make the necessary changes."
"The product's setup process could be easier."
