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."The solution is easy to set up and easy to use, unlike, for example, Cisco, which is more complex."
"The solution offers lifetime warranties."
"The most valuable feature is the IRF."
"We get a lifetime warranty for the solution so whenever the switches get faulty, you can get a replacement."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The simplicity of the commands is most valuable. The commands are the same for several devices."
"HPE is very reliable because it has a lifetime warranty, so the switches didn't give us any problems."
"HPE Ethernet Switches have a lifetime warranty. I am using an old version of the solution, but I have heard the new models have incorporated a lot of new features, such as remote setup."
"The pricing is very reasonable. It's not too expensive."
"We have found this solution is quite robust and there are a lot of features in a small device."
"They are stable."
"One of the primary advantages is its competitive pricing in the market."
"This solution is easy to configure and it's very flexible."
"The most valuable feature is the price because it's highly cost-effective concerning the functionalities provided within the box. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. The initial setup is straightforward. I would recommend the solution because it provides value for money."
"We make use of a script that will automatically re-route traffic when connections are slow."
"It has a lot of features. I haven't explored them all yet."
"The pricing could be better."

"It would be ideal if the product offered more security."
"It would be helpful to have training available for this solution."
"Authentication and other security features are not easily satisfied using the lower-end switches."
"VLAN can be improved, but I have to check that with the company expert. I have different switch models, but they don't have all the same interface. I don't know whether lower-level switches don't have the same interface as the better quality ones. I might have two different model types."
"Technical support needs improvement, as the response time could be better."
"If the client wants bigger capacity, there may be some issues. That is, there may be issues with scalability."
"The solution needs to be more robust. In case of power fluctuations, MikroTik routers are more vulnerable to malfunctioning."
