We performed a comparison between Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 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 fibre ports that are 10 Gb capacity helped with the travel of a lot of regular as well as video data. Fibre can handle a lot more virtual data than copper twisted-pair, so we got a lot more data and a lot more traffic signals back through the fibre ports, faster, than with copper."
"The new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional."
"It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches' best features are it's easy to deploy, manage, and maintain, with services coming through one vendor."
"We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements."
"This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night."
"Enables direct access to clusters."
"The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything."
"We use the product for VPN."
"The product is very reliable."
"The solution is stable."
"I have found one of the most valuable features to be the hotspot network."
"The deployment process of MikroTik routers and switches is very convenient since it is not command-driven and comes with a graphical user interface, making it much easier to operate."
"This equipment is resilient and available at a good price."
"The setup is easy."
"The MikroTik Hotspot is great."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches would be improved if cloud-based technology was provided in the Gulf region."
"technical support response time is sometimes very slow."
"In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed."
"I find the CLI hard to use. I wish we could do more in the GUI interface."
"There needs to be better integration with the interface."
"I could see them possibly creating a more intuitive software. It's very user-friendly, but there are some things that aren't very intuitive when programming the switches."
"The network connection should be improved."
"The product would be better if it were completely compatible with other switching products."
"The manageability of the web-based UI needs to be improved."
"The interface for management could be improved."
"A central management platform would be great."
"The solution needs to be more robust. In case of power fluctuations, MikroTik routers are more vulnerable to malfunctioning."
"The initial setup can be a bit difficult. The configuration can take a lot of time."
"The updates as well as the patches could be improved. I believe it would be beneficial to automate the process of router patching to avoid the need for manual checks. With automated patching, as long as the router is connected to the internet, it can automatically perform necessary updates. Failing to patch the router can leave me vulnerable to potential security threats."
"The solution should improve the features of Wi-Fi 6 a little bit."
"If the client wants bigger capacity, there may be some issues. That is, there may be issues with scalability."
