We performed a comparison between Cisco Enterprise Routers and MikroTik Cloud Router Switch based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Routers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"The solution has good performance."
"It is a good router that is available with advanced technology."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its ability to implement layer three protocols and layer two protocols like OSPS in BSS and BSC environments, with the Nexus Cisco 7000."
"It's not complex to deploy."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"Cisco is a good product that is stable."
"The quality is good. Cisco Enterprise Routers are stable and more reliable."
"Stable and scalable routers."
"Flexibility is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"There are a lot of features to control permitting or stopping packets in the network."
"The interface management and the user access management is pretty good."
"A valuable aspect is its user-friendly configuration, making it accessible even for individuals with basic technical knowledge."
"This solution is very similar to the on-premises version making it easy to use for those who know the architect."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"Some of the most valuable features are the simplicity, cost, usability, and power. As a package, it's extremely effective."
"The performance has been good."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"The price could be better."
"In terms of room for improvement, I think that there is a need for additional administration."
"Cisco could improve by reducing the delays in receiving physical devices."
"It can be very expensive, sometimes, to do the jump to the next router for your needs."
"I would like to see the setup time reduced."
"I am happy with the price of Cisco Enterprise Routers, but they could offer more discounts to their customers."
"If I only have one LAN port in which I want to connect more than one device, I have to buy an add-on card so that I can have two LAN ports. The smaller devices and low-end routers have about four LAN ports. This solution is a high-end device but has only one. It would be preferable if they offered more LAN ports."
"While the commands are easy to understand, and you will find a mixture, if you put a question mark on them then it will create problems."
"Improvements are needed with respect to some of the security, especially for VPN links between vendors other than Cisco."
"Stuff that I'd like to be improved is really just training and documentation because I think the feature set is full. Another improvement I'd suggest is that their new, bigger releases should be a bit more stable."
"There has to be more development in the OS. It's complex for this switch as compared to others like Cisco. For NetGear and Cisco, it's easy to adapt the VLAN concept but it should be simplified for MikroTik."
"If MikroTik had a marketing team and support team in India then it would be much easier for us to get the product, as well as support."
"It would be even better with a centralized management platform."
"The user interface could improve and they should allow a license for IBS."
"MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera."
"The bulk efficiencies and the control of traffic could be a bit better."
