We performed a comparison between Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches and Meraki MS 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 fibre ports that are 10 Gb capacity helped with the travel of a lot of regular as well as video data. Fibre can handle a lot more virtual data than copper twisted-pair, so we got a lot more data and a lot more traffic signals back through the fibre ports, faster, than with copper."
"Enables direct access to clusters."
"It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches' best features are it's easy to deploy, manage, and maintain, with services coming through one vendor."
"We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements."
"The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything."
"This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night."
"The new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional."
"The most valuable features of Meraki MS Switches are simple deployment and administration. You can have all your switches in one place and manage them."
"I like the portal, it's really interesting."
"This product has QoS, decent visibility of what's going on, and it's a managed switch."
"I like the portal, it's really interesting."
"We found the initial setup to be easy."
"Meraki MS Switches are amazing. Whoever built it is a genius. I like that it's a plug-and-play solution."
"I found the cloud-managed dashboard most valuable in Meraki MS Switches."
"Setting up a Meraki switch is fairly simple. It can be done by one manager and a senior engineer developer."
"The network connection should be improved."
"I find the CLI hard to use. I wish we could do more in the GUI interface."
"I could see them possibly creating a more intuitive software. It's very user-friendly, but there are some things that aren't very intuitive when programming the switches."
"The product would be better if it were completely compatible with other switching products."
"technical support response time is sometimes very slow."
"There needs to be better integration with the interface."
"In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches would be improved if cloud-based technology was provided in the Gulf region."
"If they added the option to manage it locally, not in the cloud, it would be better."
"The solution needs to improve its ability to back up the auto-configuration."
"The lead times can be long in terms of actually getting the hardware."
"It can have better security. It needs more security enhancements, and in particular, a zero-trust element. If we could have external and internal users vetted in the same way as a zero-trust network, that will be handy."
"In this solution, you are lacking a feature that Cisco Classic has that allows you to save your configuration with a serial cable."
"Its troubleshooting features need work."
"The pricing needs to be more competitive with other products on the market."
"The solution needs to improve its scalability."
