We performed a comparison between Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches and Meraki MS 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."This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night."
"The fibre ports that are 10 Gb capacity helped with the travel of a lot of regular as well as video data. Fibre can handle a lot more virtual data than copper twisted-pair, so we got a lot more data and a lot more traffic signals back through the fibre ports, faster, than with copper."
"Enables direct access to clusters."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches' best features are it's easy to deploy, manage, and maintain, with services coming through one vendor."
"It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest."
"The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything."
"The new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional."
"We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements."
"The most valuable features are the cloud and throughput visibility, the ease of configuration, and being able to implement them into our umbrella DNS solution."
"It is easy to configure and provides complete visibility of the graphic end point."
"The most beneficial features of Meraki MS Switches are the visibility and convenience they provide."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to segment my infrastructure between phones, security systems, and other tasks."
"The solution is scalable and can accommodate as many devices as needed."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the interface because it is very simple and easy to learn, even for somebody who hasn't seen it before."
"With Meraki, there is the advantage that you have dashboard access via the internet and you can work on it from anywhere."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The network connection should be improved."
"I could see them possibly creating a more intuitive software. It's very user-friendly, but there are some things that aren't very intuitive when programming the switches."
"The product would be better if it were completely compatible with other switching products."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches would be improved if cloud-based technology was provided in the Gulf region."
"I find the CLI hard to use. I wish we could do more in the GUI interface."
"In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed."
"technical support response time is sometimes very slow."
"There needs to be better integration with the interface."
"Doesn't enable a local configuration without internet access."
"The pricing can be made cheaper."
"The price for this product could be cheaper. For a low-budget school or institution, scaling up and implementing more switches could take longer because of budget constraints."
"I've had some hardware failure issues on the POE side on several switches across the years. There seems to be a problem with the POE ports of their unit system."
"It can have better security. It needs more security enhancements, and in particular, a zero-trust element. If we could have external and internal users vetted in the same way as a zero-trust network, that will be handy."
"If they added the option to manage it locally, not in the cloud, it would be better."
"Their subscription model could be better. Some of our customers prefer a one-time payment to a monthly or yearly subscription model, so they don't buy the product. Technical support could also be better."
"The switch capacity needs to be improved."
