We performed a comparison between HPE 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."The solution offers lifetime warranties."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the interface and configuration. It's very easy to use."
"The switches are very important in our hospitals, which is a critical environment for our patients. They provide time-effective management and meet our needs."
"We use HPE Ethernet Switches to provide solutions for the hotel, their guests, and IPTV."
"What I like the most is the management system integrated with the HP system."
"The solution can scale."
"The solution is easy to set up and easy to use, unlike, for example, Cisco, which is more complex."
"We get a lifetime warranty for the solution so whenever the switches get faulty, you can get a replacement."
"The most valuable feature is that it has better throughput than its competitors."
"The wiki page that describes the scripting and other features is very good."
"The performance has been good."
"There are a lot of features to control permitting or stopping packets in the network."
"Some of the most valuable features are the simplicity, cost, usability, and power. As a package, it's extremely effective."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"The tool has impacted our company's network costs and productivity in a perfect manner and percentage-wise, I can say it is 120 percent."
"The solution's throughput should be increased because we often get stuck when it comes to IPTV streaming."
"The security of the solution always has room for improvement."
"HPE Ethernet Switches must ensure that the updates and patching are done regularly. When we have new software updates, we can resolve issues quickly."
"I would also like to see a more centralized private management console for the series of devices. Most solutions are adopting centralized cloud-based management, but my client base believes cloud solutions are too insecure. You've got a few dozen switches, so it would be nice to have the ability to manage them on a "single pane of glass.""
"The ability to stack, as well as a unified operating system, would be extremely beneficial."
"Configuration can be complex."
"VLAN can be improved, but I have to check that with the company expert. I have different switch models, but they don't have all the same interface. I don't know whether lower-level switches don't have the same interface as the better quality ones. I might have two different model types."
"They should have more control tools for controlling the bandwidth."
"Technical support could be better."
"The bulk efficiencies and the control of traffic could be a bit better."
"In medium to large sectors, there's a necessity for managing aspects like proxy firewalls."
"There has to be more development in the OS. It's complex for this switch as compared to others like Cisco. For NetGear and Cisco, it's easy to adapt the VLAN concept but it should be simplified for MikroTik."
"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."
"It happens that you may find your network is down, if you reboot the switch, they come up. However, sometimes, they reset themselves. That's a big issue."
"The packet filtering, user log data, and user access log could all be improved."
"If MikroTik had a marketing team and support team in India then it would be much easier for us to get the product, as well as support."
