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 performance is pretty good."
"he product is easy to integrate with other software tools."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is the ease of stacking. The configuration on the MS Switches is very good, as well as its ability to assign the LANs."
"Easily installable, with good scalability, stability and technical support."
"Being able to look at every port and see what it is connected to is very useful. Everything seems to be running really well. They've got everything covered. They have a really cool mounting system at the bottom and an access point that you can use to level up your device. It is kind of cool."
"Setting up a Meraki switch is fairly simple. It can be done by one manager and a senior engineer developer."
"Its cloud feature and cloud management are great. They are the most valuable aspects."
"The dashboard and the interface, in general, are good features."
"It is user-friendly, reliable, and cheap."
"The wiki page that describes the scripting and other features is very good."
"It is easy to set up."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"Some of the most valuable features are the simplicity, cost, usability, and power. As a package, it's extremely effective."
"The initial setup is easy."
"There are a lot of features to control permitting or stopping packets in the network."
"The most valuable feature is that it has better throughput than its competitors."
"Management from a single dashboard is what I want to see from Meraki MS Switches."
"There is not much training available for this solution."
"This product depends on a cloud connection in order to function. If you have an unstable internet connection or other connectivity issues the product will not function as expected."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The pricing needs to be more competitive with other products on the market."
"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 switch capacity needs to be improved."
"It would be great if the switch can identify the IP address connected to the network port. It seems most of the switches cannot identify the IP address. They can identify the MAC address but not the IP address."
"The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version."
"The RAM capacity offered by the product needs to be increased, as it is one area where the tool currently has some shortcomings."
"The user interface could improve and they should allow a license for IBS."
"Technical support could be better."
"It would be even better with a centralized management platform."
"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."
"The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved."
