We performed a comparison between Cisco Ethernet Switches and MikroTik Cloud Router Switch 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."What I like the most is the performance and the latency that Cisco provides."
"This solution is overall a high-grade solution compared to others."
"What we love about the Cisco switches is that they are very reliable. You can deploy them and go to sleep, and you can be sure that nothing is going to go wrong. Our initial equipment was installed by a Chinese manufacturer named Fiberhome a couple of years ago. Their switches were called S engines. They worked, but some days, you just wake up, and the switch has popped up. It was a lot of crisis. Therefore, we are in the process of trying to take out all their switches and replace them with Cisco switches. We are getting good results in terms of reliability and even technical support."
"The solution effectively provides a stable connection for users."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches are scalable, much more than Jupiter."
"The tool is stable."
"The greatest advantage of Cisco switches is their reliability. For example, we bought some 500 series switches back in 2002 or 2003, and they ran 24/7. I never had an issue for seven years."
"The tool is easy to use, offering numerous options in terms of server connection."
"This solution is very similar to the on-premises version making it easy to use for those who know the architect."
"It is user-friendly, reliable, and cheap."
"It's a well-rounded solution for routing."
"It is easy to set up."
"The wiki page that describes the scripting and other features is very good."
"I like that it's quite flexible and addresses different issues. It's quite easy to use, and the pricing is great. We find them to be very capable switches."
"Some of the most valuable features are the simplicity, cost, usability, and power. As a package, it's extremely effective."
"The GUI is easy to use."
"Cisco products are expensive compared to any other solution. Now, there are many competitors that give the same level of services - such as Juniper or Aruba."
"I think the price should be cheaper to be able to afford more."
"An area for improvement in Cisco Ethernet Switches is its command-line interface. It works differently than expected if you want to do some implementation. However, it works if it's a simple integration."
"The user interface, the UI, could be better."
"I would like to see this solution automatically store multiple versions of the configuration file."
"To keep up with the market, the solution should have better evolution and innovation."
"In terms of what could be improved, there is the bulk issue that is sometimes experienced with Cisco products we've used."
"The price could be improved by being reduced."
"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."
"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."
"MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera."
"The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved."
"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."
"The bulk efficiencies and the control of traffic could be a bit better."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version."
