We performed a comparison between Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch Ethernet 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."The fibre ports that are 10 Gb capacity helped with the travel of a lot of regular as well as video data. Fibre can handle a lot more virtual data than copper twisted-pair, so we got a lot more data and a lot more traffic signals back through the fibre ports, faster, than with copper."
"Enables direct access to clusters."
"It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest."
"The new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional."
"The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything."
"This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night."
"We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches' best features are it's easy to deploy, manage, and maintain, with services coming through one vendor."
"The price is a big factor. They are very affordable, and the quality is high."
"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."
"Load balancing is one of the valuable features of the solution...In short, MikroTik provides a very user-friendly GUI option."
"I have seen a return on investment since we didn't have to pay a licensing fee."
"The pricing is very reasonable. It's not too expensive."
"The solution offers very good multi-routing."
"The MikroTik Hotspot is great."
"I've never had any issues with the solution."
"The product would be better if it were completely compatible with other switching products."
"In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed."
"I find the CLI hard to use. I wish we could do more in the GUI interface."
"I could see them possibly creating a more intuitive software. It's very user-friendly, but there are some things that aren't very intuitive when programming the switches."
"The network connection should be improved."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches would be improved if cloud-based technology was provided in the Gulf region."
"technical support response time is sometimes very slow."
"There needs to be better integration with the interface."
"Better security is always better. If they can continue to improve in this area, that would be ideal."
"I don't like the product's performance."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches need a firewall policy to secure the network. I also want Mikrotic to add load balancing to the firewall policy, as it's currently hard to do in Mikrotik devices."
"They need to create a license for IBS. I have a lot of clients that have spam on their networks."
"It is slow, old and unfriendly."
"The user interface is not very good."
"Technical support could be better. They don't have good support like Cisco. It can also be more stable and scalable."
"The solution needs to be more robust. In case of power fluctuations, MikroTik routers are more vulnerable to malfunctioning."
