We performed a comparison between HPE 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."What I like the most is the management system integrated with the HP system."
"The technical support for this solution has improved from what it was."
"The solution's interface is helpful, and you can see the traffic."
"The product's stacking technology is stable and works well."
"The simplicity of the commands is most valuable. The commands are the same for several devices."
"HPE Ethernet Switches are easy to configure."
"We were able to onboard HPE Ethernet Switches easily to the cloud. It was fast and took only five minutes to complete."
"It's stable and performing well."
"We use the product for VPN."
"Load balancing is one of the valuable features of the solution...In short, MikroTik provides a very user-friendly GUI option."
"We have found this solution is quite robust and there are a lot of features in a small device."
"The setup is easy."
"I have found one of the most valuable features to be the hotspot network."
"They have amazing speed and reliability, and they also provide value for money. They are pretty powerful."
"We've enjoyed the fact that it has very good performance."
"The flexible IP firewall and IP network address translation make it very easy to give access to internal services."
"We would always be happier if the price were reduced."
"Some users might look for high-speed switching like Cisco or Nexus switches, which can handle larger volumes. HPE's current offerings aren't as robust in that area, but they could improve."
"We'd like better support for situations where we need troubleshooting."
"If there is any fluctuation in power then we will face an outage with our POE switches, so this is something that should be improved."
"The solution's throughput should be increased because we often get stuck when it comes to IPTV streaming."
"It is not very stable."
"I would also like to see a more centralized private management console for the series of devices. Most solutions are adopting centralized cloud-based management, but my client base believes cloud solutions are too insecure. You've got a few dozen switches, so it would be nice to have the ability to manage them on a "single pane of glass.""
"They should have more control tools for controlling the bandwidth."
"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."
"A central management platform would be great."
"The solution needs to offer better documentation."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches need a firewall policy to secure the network. I also want Mikrotic to add load balancing to the firewall policy, as it's currently hard to do in Mikrotik devices."
"The product needs to include more power."
"I would like to have some additional filtering options added in the future."
"The solution does suffer from freezing and corruption issues."
"The product's setup process could be easier."
