We performed a comparison between Aruba 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."Juniper Ethernet Switches are high-end solutions."
"I like that it's fairly easy to implement these ethernet switches."
"One of the most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches is they are rugged."
"Both Juniper and Cisco switches are interoperable."
"The feature I like the most is the ability to reword changes before committing to the change. We can always reword changes in 10 minutes if they don't work."
"The thing that sets Juniper apart from most switches is that when you're in the command line and you make a configuration change, you just write the command and then say "commit confirmed minutes". For example, I'm configuring a switch here in my office, which is five miles away, and I say, "commit confirmed 5". If I can't get back to the interface within five minutes to be able to make sure the switch came up, it rolls back to the previous configuration. This way I do not get locked out, or the switch doesn't get messed up because of the incorrect configuration. That's an automatic feature, which is pretty slick. I haven't seen that feature with other vendors that I've worked with. That's probably my most favorite feature."
"The most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches are the simple configuration and ruggedness."
"It's pretty good as compared to other vendors."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Switches is security."
"This solution is really easy to use. It is much easier to use than Cisco. It's got a nice web interface for stepping up and an added warranty."
"We can scale as needed."
"The solution is easy to use and quick to deploy."
"The most valuable features are stability, ease of management, and the monitoring tool."
"It is a very good device for our company. It is stable and very scalable."
"It is very easy to set up."
"These switches have a good performance, and they are also quickly configurable."
"It is easy to set up."
"The beauty of MikroTik is that you have flexibility with the routing parts."
"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."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The performance has been good."
"Some of the most valuable features are the simplicity, cost, usability, and power. As a package, it's extremely effective."
"The interface management and the user access management is pretty good."
"The packet channelizing feature should be improved."
"The technical support from Juniper Ethernet Switches could be better."
"I have found the scalability could be improved in the version I was using."
"The operating system could be better."
"The difficulty of the installation of Juniper Ethernet Switches depends on the environment it is being implemented in. It is fairly straightforward in terms of being able to source the technical information as we need it. However, this process could improve."
"We would like it if there was more security added in future releases."
"Jupiter Switches' configuration is a little difficult to understand."
"The only issue that we have with Juniper Ethernet Switches is the firmware because it is not stable."
"There are some growing pains with Aruba Central. When you first launch the wireless access points or switches, a lot of updates are needed to get Aruba Central ready, especially on the access points, so the initial deployment time could improve. I would hope that I could just turn it on and leave the updates until later on. The switches themselves probably did okay. I'm primarily referring to the wireless access points. There was a lot of back and forth before everything was in sync. It took hours."
"We had an integration team do the setup of the solution."
"The migration from older to newer products could be improved."
"I would like to see them integrate a monitoring solution."
"The command-line interface could be easier to use, perhaps having voice control."
"Aruba Switches' price could improve, if they were less expensive it would be beneficial."
"The delivery time for this product is slow and is something that needs to be improved."
"The customer service could be a bit quicker and the employees could be more professional."
"The initial setup is complex."
"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."
"The user interface could improve and they should allow a license for IBS."
"The packet filtering, user log data, and user access log could all be improved."
"Technical support could be better."
"The bulk efficiencies and the control of traffic could be a bit better."
"The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved."
"The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version."
