We performed a comparison between ExtremeRouting and MikroTik Routers and Switches 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."
"What I like about Extreme Routing is its impressive performance."
"The routing protocol is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Looking at the robustness, I do not know whether it would be carrier grade – let's say for hundreds of thousands of users – but it certainly doesn't balk at 10,000 users or less."
"Provides a good redundancy technique."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is very easy to set up."
"The best part about MikroTik Routers is the price."
"The tool's most valuable features are flexibility and configuration. It can be used in large setups."
"The setup is easy."
"They use wireless and wired connections that include all of the features."
"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."
"MikroTik routers are very user-friendly and easy to manage"
"We have use cases like providing power over ethernet, as an access controller for Wi-Fi, and normal networking."
"I like the routing features."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"Some of the latest protocols are unavailable."
"One area for improvement with Extreme Routing is the need for more accessible and comprehensive training."
"The solution is far too unstable. It's completely unreliable."
"The support, software resiliency, and software stability are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"It's not evolving as quickly as we would like it to."
"My advice for those looking into ExtremeRouting is: right now all switch manufacturers are backed up for months. If you're looking to implement quickly, I would say shop around a bit because it might be difficult."
"The solution is a complicated device."
"It would be very good if these products are accessible via different kinds of shells and GUI. It will make these solutions very usable."
"We'd like for them to improve the UI and improve on speed."
"Better security is always better. If they can continue to improve in this area, that would be ideal."
"The batch management could be improved."
"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."
"They can improve the way the user interface is laid out. Their user interface is slightly geeky. There is more than one way to do the same thing in the user interface, and they need to work on that."
"The solution needs to improve its security firewalls and mirror that of, for example, Sophos, or FortiGate."
