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."Cisco Ethernet Switches are stable."
"Cisco is the world leader in these systems. The expertise they have is very good compared to others. We can trust Cisco from a technical perspective."
"We can easily integrate the product with any OEM solutions."
"I like that it's easy to use."
"Multicast is a great feature of this product."
"DNA Center is very interesting in automating the setup and monitoring as with each occurrence it gets easier to troubleshoot and provides an impression about what could be the problem."
"Cisco Ethernet Switches is stable and robust."
"The command-line interface is easy to use."
"It is easy to set up."
"Some of the most valuable features are the simplicity, cost, usability, and power. As a package, it's extremely effective."
"This solution is very similar to the on-premises version making it easy to use for those who know the architect."
"It's a well-rounded solution for routing."
"It is user-friendly, reliable, and cheap."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The GUI is easy to use."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"It could be cheaper, especially the DNA license. One DNA license is around $3,000 for a three-year contract."
"If Cisco Ethernet Switches can work both on-prem and in the cloud, it would be an advantage."
"We've had hardware problems like SSDs, ports, networking, things like that."
"Cisco could also open the API up to work closely with other systems."
"The GUI is not that easy."
"The solution really should offer better pricing. It would help them stay competitive."
"Cisco products are expensive compared to any other solution. Now, there are many competitors that give the same level of services - such as Juniper or Aruba."
"The pricing should be reduced so that they are more competitive."
"Improvements are needed with respect to some of the security, especially for VPN links between vendors other than Cisco."
"The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version."
"The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved."
"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."
"It would be even better with a centralized management platform."
"The bulk efficiencies and the control of traffic could be a bit better."
"Technical support could be better."
"MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera."
