Find out in this report how the two Routers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution has good performance."
"It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"Provides a good redundancy technique."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Looking at the robustness, I do not know whether it would be carrier grade – let's say for hundreds of thousands of users – but it certainly doesn't balk at 10,000 users or less."
"The routing protocol is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"It is very easy to set up."
"What I like about Extreme Routing is its impressive performance."
"The performance has been good."
"The wiki page that describes the scripting and other features is very good."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The GUI is easy to use."
"A valuable aspect is its user-friendly configuration, making it accessible even for individuals with basic technical knowledge."
"It's a well-rounded solution for routing."
"There are a lot of features to control permitting or stopping packets in the network."
"The beauty of MikroTik is that you have flexibility with the routing parts."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"It's not evolving as quickly as we would like it to."
"The support, software resiliency, and software stability are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"Some of the latest protocols are unavailable."
"The solution is far too unstable. It's completely unreliable."
"My advice for those looking into ExtremeRouting is: right now all switch manufacturers are backed up for months. If you're looking to implement quickly, I would say shop around a bit because it might be difficult."
"One area for improvement with Extreme Routing is the need for more accessible and comprehensive training."
"MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera."
"The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version."
"The packet filtering, user log data, and user access log could all be improved."
"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 bulk efficiencies and the control of traffic could be a bit better."
"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."
"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."
"The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved."
