We performed a comparison between HPE 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."It's stable. We never have any issues."
"The graphical userface is very good and quite easy to run with."
"The performance is great."
"The scalability is very good."
"The solution is highly stable."
"The initial setup is straightforward. The steps are simple, and you can always contact support if needed. Overall, it's easy."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"The speed is very fast."
"We use the product for VPN."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The most valuable feature is controlling the bandwidth."
"The setup is easy."
"We make use of a script that will automatically re-route traffic when connections are slow."
"They are stable."
"We have not had any downtime with it. It has been a solid performer that way."
"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."
"The pricing could be better."
"This solution needs to support software-defined networking."
"The management of the tool must be improved."
"They should continue to work on new features."
"The technical support does not match up to the standard of Cisco."
"The solution could be more stable."
"Installation could be made more secure."
"They should have more control tools for controlling the bandwidth."
"It would be nice if the interface was easier to use."
"The updates as well as the patches could be improved. I believe it would be beneficial to automate the process of router patching to avoid the need for manual checks. With automated patching, as long as the router is connected to the internet, it can automatically perform necessary updates. Failing to patch the router can leave me vulnerable to potential security threats."
"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."
"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."
"There are limitations to how many users you have simultaneously."
"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."
"The manageability of the web-based UI needs to be improved."
"The queuing functionality needs improvement. The initial setup could be simplified."
