We performed a comparison between Arista Networks Platform and MikroTik Routers and 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."The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable features of the Arista Networks Platform are the EVPN and VXLAN. It has comprehensive features."
"The most valuable feature is the Linux shell, which is useful for troubleshooting or capturing traffic."
"The user-friendly policy manager lets us apply different controls for various user groups easily."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"Arista Networks Platform is comfortable, easy to deploy, and easy to manage, with non-blocking technology. Additionally, it has a useful CloudVision platform and automation capabilities."
"I like the spine as a leaf model and low latency. The hardware is robust and meets expected latency in all environments, mainly if you belong to the media or trading industry. For multicast-based solutions, Arista is number one."
"We find the CloudVision switching feature of this solution really useful."
"The flexible IP firewall and IP network address translation make it very easy to give access to internal services."
"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."
"I have seen a return on investment since we didn't have to pay a licensing fee."
"The most valuable feature is its bandwidth management ability."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the price because it's highly cost-effective concerning the functionalities provided within the box. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. The initial setup is straightforward. I would recommend the solution because it provides value for money."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the combination of value for money. They're extremely cost effective, yet they provide you with an extensive feature set of things you can do across the board. Also, they're pretty reliable, as far as equipment goes."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches are stable"
"The stability of this solution needs to be improved as part of the next upgrade."
"The solution is quite expensive. One of the negative aspects of it is the pricing."
"The community is good but is not good enough. It still needs to grow more."
"The solution is a bit pricey."
"A smoother transition between ISPs during failover would improve the user experience by reducing unnecessary notifications and interruptions."
"They need to enhance their code and their EOS. They need to improve some security features, and there are quite a number of bugs in their system. So, they need to work on that piece. In the next release, we need to have a modular feature. Instead of providing an integrated solution, they should go for something modular. They need to come up with modular highly scalable models. Even at the chassis layer, I want to see some improvement."
"The CVP management platform needs to be improved."
"Its price can be better."
"Technical support could be better. They don't have good support like Cisco. It can also be more stable and scalable."
"MikroTik does not have a wireless solution. If they created a high-performance wireless solution we would deploy it in our infrastructure."
"Wireless throughput has not kept up with the competition."
"The Soft-GRE support needs to be improved."
"The user interface is not very good."
"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."
"In the Israeli market, we are in need of Hebrew support."
"Troubleshooting can be complex."
