We performed a comparison between Meraki MS 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."I like the portal, it's really interesting."
"With Meraki, there is the advantage that you have dashboard access via the internet and you can work on it from anywhere."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to segment my infrastructure between phones, security systems, and other tasks."
"They're easy to update."
"The switches are very stable."
"Setting up a switch can be performed prior to having your hands on the device. Once you purchase a Meraki switch you will get an email from Meraki with a code to add to your dashboard and then you can start setting up your switch so when it arrives it will download its configuration and be all setup."
"Overall, the switches are really good."
"I like the portal, it's really interesting."
"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."
"We make use of a script that will automatically re-route traffic when connections are slow."
"The stability is good."
"The features of the equipment fit all the needs of the customers."
"The product is simple to use."
"This is a good solution."
"They are stable."
"One of the primary advantages is its competitive pricing in the market."
"The documentation could be more extensive. For example, it could describe more scenarios. It would be great if they could incorporate AI engines into the switching infrastructure and firewall so you can configure it to prevent intrusion. They have intrusion prevention and detection, but they could enhance it by incorporating AI into their firewall."
"The pricing can be made cheaper."
"The solution needs to improve its scalability."
"The traffic reporting should be better in Meraki MS Switches. We want to be able to see all the traffic and where it is going. Additionally, detailed device utilization information would be very helpful for the security personnel."
"On the switches, I don't know a whole lot that I would change. Different levels of switches have different layer 2 and layer 3 functionality. It's always nice to have layer 3 functionality across the board if you can, but that drives up the cost. They've got different lines for different amounts of layer 3 functionality. However, on their models that do include full layer 3 access, when you choose to use layer 3 on a switch, it doesn't have the full functioning routing capabilities of an MX firewall. It can be limiting in some of those aspects."
"This solution is too simple for some cases, and there should be more configuration options."
"The reporting could be improved and could be more granular."
"Meraki MS Switches do not offer as many features as their competitors, so we are quite limited in what we can configure on the switches and firewalls."
"It would be nice if the interface was easier to use."
"They could improve their product if they set, for instance, a controller for wireless LAN. That would allow them to really have something more than an access point."
"The solution should improve the features of Wi-Fi 6 a little bit."
"They should improve technical support and make direct access available to the customers."
"It is slow, old and unfriendly."
"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."
"I would like to have the option of having multiple logins."
"Wireless throughput has not kept up with the competition."
