We performed a comparison between HPE Ethernet Switches and MikroTik Cloud Router Switch 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."I'm a power user, so reliability is crucial. The HPE equipment hasn't failed on me, unlike some other brands like Huawei, which I find more sensitive."
"I value that there is a clear place to find a MAC table with HPE Ethernet Switches."
"Switching to HPE Ethernet Switches greatly improved our network. We used to have both Cisco and HPE Ethernet Switches. Our network performance has increased by 300 percent."
"The solution can scale."
"You can scale the product as needed."
"We get a lifetime warranty for the solution so whenever the switches get faulty, you can get a replacement."
"We were able to onboard HPE Ethernet Switches easily to the cloud. It was fast and took only five minutes to complete."
"HPE Ethernet Switches are scalable, and their software is also quite sturdy."
"The interface management and the user access management is pretty good."
"The beauty of MikroTik is that you have flexibility with the routing parts."
"A valuable aspect is its user-friendly configuration, making it accessible even for individuals with basic technical knowledge."
"The most valuable feature is that it has better throughput than its competitors."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It's a well-rounded solution for routing."
"The performance has been good."
"The only improvement I can think of is that it could be better with less updates."
"It's gone up in price in the last 12 months."
"Sometimes, we encounter the need for new technologies, especially when we require higher bandwidth. If we can't find what we need with HPE Ethernet Switches, we explore options from other vendors like Cisco."
"It would be helpful to have training available for this solution."
"We'd like better support for situations where we need troubleshooting."
"They should continue to work on new features."
"This solution needs to support software-defined networking."
"Configuration can be complex."
"MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera."
"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."
"The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved."
"The bulk efficiencies and the control of traffic could be a bit better."
"Stuff that I'd like to be improved is really just training and documentation because I think the feature set is full. Another improvement I'd suggest is that their new, bigger releases should be a bit more stable."
"Antispam and antivirus features should be included in the future."
"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."
"Improvements are needed with respect to some of the security, especially for VPN links between vendors other than Cisco."
