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 features that I have found most valuable are that it is easy to use and it has good technical support."
"The solution's valuable features are the speed of network transfer, it can transfer four to six gigabits per second."
"The quality of service is one of the main reasons we use Cisco in our organization. It's quite high and very reliable. The switches also end up working for a long time, so there's less need to replace them as often as others. We have some switches in our company that has been running since 2006, for example. They are quite old, but they still work."
"The command-line interface is easy to use."
"Remote access is a valuable feature."
"These switches help to build the best network, the way we want it."
"The quality, like all Cisco solutions, is very high. The fact that it's Cisco is one of the reasons we chose to use it."
"You can tap into all of the features for your virtual workload environment."
"One of the primary advantages is its competitive pricing in the market."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. You can typically set them up in about 30 minutes."

"The most valuable feature is its bandwidth management ability."
"The high price of the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches could improve if they removed the command line interface and replaced it with a better GUI. It is too difficult at the moment, we always need to figure out the commands."
"Technical support for integrations with other network products is insufficient and should be improved."
"I would like to see this solution automatically store multiple versions of the configuration file."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"Very highly priced in comparison to other similar products."
"In the case of an already existing network, we encounter technical issues related to following protocols."
"The solution is a complicated device."
"The initial setup can be a bit difficult. The configuration can take a lot of time."

"MikroTik does not have a wireless solution. If they created a high-performance wireless solution we would deploy it in our infrastructure."
"There is an area of improvement. The firewall features are self-contained, but features like email scanning and voice control should be improved. This is the best routing product."
