We performed a comparison between MikroTik Cloud Router Switch and NETGEAR 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."It is easy to set up the solution."
"The wiki page that describes the scripting and other features is very good."
"It is user-friendly, reliable, and cheap."
"Some of the most valuable features are the simplicity, cost, usability, and power. As a package, it's extremely effective."
"There are a lot of features to control permitting or stopping packets in the network."
"It is easy to set up."
"The interface management and the user access management is pretty good."
"The initial setup is easy."
"There is a lot of helpful documentation that helps with the configuration process."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The stability is good. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The remote troubleshooting is pretty easy. You can turn off a port that might have a network loop created, or where there might be a bad NIC card that is creating issues. Being able to turn off that port remotely is fantastic, instead of having to replace the whole switch. Remote management is really easy."
"The company provides a lifetime warranty."
"The product is easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use."
"Netgear switches are highly reliable. We haven't done anything particularly sophisticated with them."
"It would be even better with a centralized management platform."
"The packet filtering, user log data, and user access log could all be improved."
"The bulk efficiencies and the control of traffic could be a bit better."
"It happens that you may find your network is down, if you reboot the switch, they come up. However, sometimes, they reset themselves. That's a big issue."
"MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera."
"The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version."
"The initial setup is complex."
"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."
"There is a lot of delay in the data coming to the servers."
"NETGEAR Switches could provide local technical support services."
"The management of them, itself, is not so good. You have to go between many different browsers, even some super-old browsers, to be able to do it. That is a super pain."
"The product's stability has certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"The web interface has been a little sketchy on occasion. Sometimes I have to reload the page to get things to show up properly, but the switch itself seems fine. The web user interface is a little wonky at times."
"Perhaps in the future, we will have even more different types of switches and be able to fulfill more collections."
"When the power does go out, or if we do a soft shutdown, some of the transceivers or the monitor don't recognize when it turns back on, so I have to physically unplug it and plug it back in and then it works. We're working with NETGEAR's engineers to figure out why that's happening."
"The tool's price could be better."
