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 cloud part of Meraki Switches is very good. They also have a good GUI. It's a complete solution. I like the switching and the monitoring part."
"It is easy to work with."
"I found the cloud-managed dashboard most valuable in Meraki MS Switches."
"Easily installable, with good scalability, stability and technical support."
"You can access a single pane of glass and configure all the devices via the same access."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The initial setup is easy."
"These switches are not expensive and their configuration is very easy. You can provision them on the dashboard, then you just connect them to everything."
"It is a stable solution. I have been using the solution for a while, and I don't face any outages or trouble while using the solution."
"The solution offers very good multi-routing."
"The tool's most valuable features are flexibility and configuration. It can be used in large setups."
"This is a good solution."
"The features of the equipment fit all the needs of the customers."
"One of the primary advantages is its competitive pricing in the market."
"The cost and versatility are the solution's most valuable features. You can do anything with them if you know how to. The solution has a whole portfolio of routing features available."
"It's pretty stable."
"They're definitely missing some of the higher end data center Cisco features."
"It could be more advanced and secure. Meraki MS Switches are ideal for a mid-sized enterprise. But you can't work with this appliance if you need more security or want to do complex or advanced things. Technical support could be better."
"Meraki MS switches are great for pretty much all SMB networks and most enterprise networks. However, there are some higher-end functions that larger enterprise networks with full access, distribution, and core switch stack may find limiting."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved."
"Doesn't enable a local configuration without internet access."
"One area where Meraki MS switches could improve is offering smaller switch sizes for distribution switches."
"Meraki MS Switches do not offer as many features as their competitors, so we are quite limited in what we can configure on the switches and firewalls."
"In my opinion, there's room for improvement cost-wise. With Meraki's licensing terms, you're required to pay an annual licensing fee, which can be for a one-year license or perhaps a five-year license. But if you analyze the costs involved, there are huge expenses incurred as far as the licensing is concerned."
"The solution is a complicated device."
"If the reporting functionality of the solution is considered, I think it is not good."
"We'd like for them to improve the UI and improve on speed."
"If the client wants bigger capacity, there may be some issues. That is, there may be issues with scalability."
"The ports could be improved, as certain areas may need to be terminated with a greater number of Ethernet ports. We initially faced challenges that hindered our network usage, especially with third-party applications that were not certified or supported. It took some time to streamline and resolve these issues."
"I don't like the product's performance."
"The batch management could be improved."
"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."
