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 most valuable feature is stability."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco routers is that they are robust."
"The most valuable features are uptime and stability."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support."
"The product is great for networking."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches have a good interface, and the documentation is detailed."
"It is very stable. Performance is very good."
"It's very easy to configure URLs."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The price is a big factor. They are very affordable, and the quality is high."
"I have seen a return on investment since we didn't have to pay a licensing fee."
"The solution offers very good multi-routing."
"The MikroTik Hotspot is great."
"Load balancing is one of the valuable features of the solution...In short, MikroTik provides a very user-friendly GUI option."
"These routers and switches are very stable."
"What I like best about MikroTik Routers and Switches is its easy handling. The product also has a significantly good interface."
"Linksys support is subpar."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches could improve their price, it is high."
"The documentation should be improved from Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches. Although it hints or refers to being able to do certain operations, they try to get you to load the software instead. They need to be more open with their documentation on using the web interface and give the client the option to use the software or not. This improvement is not on the switch itself, it is in the packaging."
"If possible, we'd like to see support in our country, but it will be difficult as we are located in Iran."
"Integration with other networks is possible, but you have to configure it."
"The licensing could be simplified."
"Scalability-wise, this solution is not designed for small businesses."
"I would like to see more manageability. That's primarily the reason why Linksys switches don't work in the enterprise space. They don't have the management and capabilities of other switches."
"The initial setup can be a bit difficult. The configuration can take a lot of time."
"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."
"f they can improve the OpenVPN, to make that a bit more straightforward, that would be ideal."
"I would appreciate enhancements to impose more restrictions on VPN connections."
"I would like to have some additional filtering options added in the future."
"They can improve the way the user interface is laid out. Their user interface is slightly geeky. There is more than one way to do the same thing in the user interface, and they need to work on that."
"They should improve technical support and make direct access available to the customers."
"We'd like for them to improve the UI and improve on speed."
