We performed a comparison between Cisco Ethernet Switches and MikroTik Cloud Router Switch 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."It is a scalable solution."
"I know this solution for many years. I know the GUI and commands, and they are useful for me. I have all the functions that I want."
"When it comes to switching routing, we have no doubts about Cisco."
"The procedures and handling of these switches are easy."
"It's for industry products, so it's easy to use."
"The solution is easy to use."
"These switches are both stable and scalable."
"We have found it to be scalable. We have approximately three million subscribers."
"It is user-friendly, reliable, and cheap."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"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."
"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."
"The GUI is easy to use."
"A valuable aspect is its user-friendly configuration, making it accessible even for individuals with basic technical knowledge."
"The interface management and the user access management is pretty good."
"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."
"An area for improvement in Cisco Ethernet Switches is its command-line interface. It works differently than expected if you want to do some implementation. However, it works if it's a simple integration."
"The current state of Cisco Ethernet Switches leaves room for improvement, particularly in regard to central management and security. While they possess the capability to function as owners of Layer Two, they fall short in regard to security awareness. While there are some supplementary products available that can provide additional security measures, such as the deployment of virtual machines, these solutions are external and not integrated within the switch itself. For this reason, Cisco Ethernet switches could benefit from incorporating the same centralized management and security features as other companies, such as Fortinet, offer in their FortiSwitches. By being aware of potential threats such as MAC spoofing and ARP poisoning, the switch can provide a more comprehensive level of security."
"In terms of what could be improved, there is the bulk issue that is sometimes experienced with Cisco products we've used."
"Putting in a more complete management infrastructure would help when it comes to handling lower-end switches."
"The price could be lower. It's quite expensive."
"The technical support could improve, they are about average quality."
"The product could improve in the area of simulated switches."
"The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version."
"The packet filtering, user log data, and user access log could all be improved."
"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."
"In medium to large sectors, there's a necessity for managing aspects like proxy firewalls."
"MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera."
"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 bulk efficiencies and the control of traffic could be a bit better."
