We performed a comparison between Brocade Ethernet Switches 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 initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"There's a zone for each server and services in the storage."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"The reliability of Brocade is the most valuable feature. The solution has been up and running for over ten years without any fail, fixes required, or breakdowns. It is a very strong piece of equipment."
"The technical support is good."
"It has good integration with HPE Primera. They have smart zoning in which the administration is very easy. You don't have to do anything. Zoning and other things are done automatically if you just enable the smart zoning. That's one very good thing in HP."
"The switches last for a very long time."
"The most valuable feature of Brocade Ethernet Switches is the good range of access it provides."
"One of the primary advantages is its competitive pricing in the market."
"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."
"Load balancing is one of the valuable features of the solution...In short, MikroTik provides a very user-friendly GUI option."
"The best part about MikroTik Routers is the price."
"I use the tool to block external attempts."
"It is a stable solution. I have been using the solution for a while, and I don't face any outages or trouble while using the solution."
"The MikroTik Hotspot is great."
"We make use of a script that will automatically re-route traffic when connections are slow."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches need a better interface and centralized management."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"The solution could be more secure."
"No graphical interface."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches could improve by having better compatibility with web management of older versions."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
"There are some performance issues."
"The solution needs to be more robust. In case of power fluctuations, MikroTik routers are more vulnerable to malfunctioning."
"They could improve their product if they set, for instance, a controller for wireless LAN. That would allow them to really have something more than an access point."
"The biggest thing that needs improvement is the support."
"Wireless throughput has not kept up with the competition."
"It would be nice if the interface was easier to use."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches needs to improve stability."
"They need to create a license for IBS. I have a lot of clients that have spam on their networks."
"The updates as well as the patches could be improved. I believe it would be beneficial to automate the process of router patching to avoid the need for manual checks. With automated patching, as long as the router is connected to the internet, it can automatically perform necessary updates. Failing to patch the router can leave me vulnerable to potential security threats."
