Find out in this report how the two Routers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution has good performance."
"It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"The bandwidth and throughput are pretty good."
"This solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the artificial intelligence assessment models."
"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 handles stress very well. We have not reached a point of needing to worry about its capabilities."
"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."
"What's best about Cisco Cloud Services Router is the support. It's excellent, and so far, no significant challenges. Another valuable feature of the product is easy integration with other products."
"It allowed us to create a more secure VPN than we would have been able to do without it."
"The solution offers very good multi-routing."
"They have amazing speed and reliability, and they also provide value for money. They are pretty powerful."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the combination of value for money. They're extremely cost effective, yet they provide you with an extensive feature set of things you can do across the board. Also, they're pretty reliable, as far as equipment goes."
"The best part about MikroTik Routers is the price."
"I use the tool to block external attempts."
"The solution is stable."
"We've enjoyed the fact that it has very good performance."
"The routing is nice and straightforward."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"There should be a system in place to help existing users make an easier transition to the newer interfaces."
"It could grow or adapt to changes in the cloud. For example, cloud does not support autoscaling. When people want to grow, they have to do manual activities."
"If you lose connectivity to the cloud, it is difficult to establish connectivity between hub and spoke."
"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."
"You can use this router in a scalable solution but it has its limitations."
"The initial setup is easy for one device but is more complex when numerous devices need to be configured."
"I would like to see better security, where there are more access controls and data confidentiality."
"The ease of use within the AWS environment needs to improve. Sometimes, it is very esoteric in how you use it. Therefore, you have to learn to use it, then you are able to."
"The solution is a complicated device."
"It is slow, old and unfriendly."
"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."
"I would like to see a cluster feature added, where multiple devices can be configured and managed as one. One is in a standby state while the other is active, and if one fails then the other takes over."
"They need to create a license for IBS. I have a lot of clients that have spam on their networks."
"The Soft-GRE support needs to be improved."
"The interface for management could be improved."
"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."
