"It's a little less convenient for more simplified management needs."

"This solution could be improved if it offered long term support on a specific model or product."
"Aruba Switches cover lots of areas and support automated and IOPS and with the central products, but I think when we look at the solutions overall, IOPS devices are not covered so much in Aruba Central.

"MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera."
