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."Cisco Ethernet Switches have a lot of valuable features. One that stands out to me is its ease of implementation."
"A stable product that is absolutely dependable."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Cisco Ethernet Switches is many engineers can work on the equipment. You can find qualified engineers that can configure Cisco equipment more than any other networking equipment."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches are scalable, much more than Jupiter."
"The solution can scale."
"Cisco is the world leader in these systems. The expertise they have is very good compared to others. We can trust Cisco from a technical perspective."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is basically issue-free."
"The initial setup is easy."
"A valuable aspect is its user-friendly configuration, making it accessible even for individuals with basic technical knowledge."
"The performance has been good."
"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."
"There are a lot of features to control permitting or stopping packets in the network."
"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."
"It's a well-rounded solution for routing."
"We've had hardware problems like SSDs, ports, networking, things like that."
"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."
"It could be cheaper, especially the DNA license. One DNA license is around $3,000 for a three-year contract."
"The installation is difficult and requires further training documentations."
"The technical support could improve, they are about average quality."
"There are instances where the commands you are familiar with might change or be replaced with newer syntax."
"It'll also help if it can support more network utilization."
"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."
"It would be even better with a centralized management platform."
"The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version."
"The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved."
"Technical support could be better."
"In medium to large sectors, there's a necessity for managing aspects like proxy firewalls."
"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."
"MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera."
"The user interface could improve and they should allow a license for IBS."
