We performed a comparison between 3Com H3C 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."They are easy to use, they are cheaper, and it's a trusted brand."
"The installation is quite straightforward."
"The reliability of the solution has been the best feature."
"The hardware side is a very big advantage. We use it 24/7 and we haven't had any problems so far with the switches."
"They're straightforward and stable."
"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."
"I have seen a return on investment since we didn't have to pay a licensing fee."
"MikroTik offers full enterprise capabilities at a very reasonable price."
"Load balancing is one of the valuable features of the solution...In short, MikroTik provides a very user-friendly GUI option."
"I like MikroTik's GUI. It's completely handy and easy to handle because of its GUI. Despite other brands like Cisco urging me to switch, I didn't because they don't have a GUI. This is the most comfortable thing in my project that anyone can use easily. It's effortless to maintain MikroTik routers because both screens make it very easy in GUI mode. You can easily interact with your hardware."
"The tool's most valuable features are flexibility and configuration. It can be used in large setups."
"We have found this solution is quite robust and there are a lot of features in a small device."
"This solution is easy to configure and it's very flexible."
"I think there's nothing that needs to be improved because the company is no longer in existence."
"The configuration of 3Com H3C Switches could be better."
"When we try to do configuration changes sometimes it malfunctions."
"The technical support services need improvement in terms of communication."
"The cost and the integration with other solutions could be better."
"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."
"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."
"I would appreciate enhancements to impose more restrictions on VPN connections."
"It could be more scalable. Product awareness could also be better. There's a lack of awareness when it comes to MikroTik. People only know about Cisco and others, and they won't rely on MikroTik. This is primarily because of hardware limitations. While this product is good economically, it's unsuitable for high-end projects. In the next release, I want this product to be more compatible."
"The user interface allows you to do a lot of things, but it is not user-friendly."
"The solution needs to improve its security firewalls and mirror that of, for example, Sophos, or FortiGate."
"Technical support could be better. They don't have good support like Cisco. It can also be more stable and scalable."
"The solution does suffer from freezing and corruption issues."
