We performed a comparison between Meraki MS 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."Quality of Service is easy to deploy. The ease of deployment, in general, is valuable. It is easy to do port configuration and VLAN assignments."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The solution is stable."
"This is an OK solution for small to medium-sized businesses with no IT staff."
"The switches are very stable."
"It helps manage multiple switches deployed in different locations with a single console on the cloud."
"The most beneficial features of Meraki MS Switches are the visibility and convenience they provide."
"Easily installable, with good scalability, stability and technical support."
"We make use of a script that will automatically re-route traffic when connections are slow."
"I've never had any issues with the solution."
"It has a lot of features. I haven't explored them all yet."
"The most valuable feature is controlling the bandwidth."
"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."
"The tool's most valuable features are flexibility and configuration. It can be used in large setups."
"MikroTik routers are very user-friendly and easy to manage"
"These routers and switches are very stable."
"It would be great if they can get the price down for small businesses."
"I don't like some of the mobile device management options. They're a little bit hard to find in the system."
"The documentation could be more extensive. For example, it could describe more scenarios. It would be great if they could incorporate AI engines into the switching infrastructure and firewall so you can configure it to prevent intrusion. They have intrusion prevention and detection, but they could enhance it by incorporating AI into their firewall."
"One area where Meraki MS switches could improve is offering smaller switch sizes for distribution switches."
"Sometimes the controller in the cloud that controls the access points does not have the most accurate information. There is sometimes a glitch in keeping the management controller that is in the cloud up to date."
"The solution does not fit all use cases."
"Meraki MS Switches do not offer as many features as their competitors, so we are quite limited in what we can configure on the switches and firewalls."
"The switch capacity needs to be improved."
"They can improve the way the user interface is laid out. Their user interface is slightly geeky. There is more than one way to do the same thing in the user interface, and they need to work on that."
"Technical support could be better. They don't have good support like Cisco. It can also be more stable and scalable."
"There are limitations to how many users you have simultaneously."
"If the client wants bigger capacity, there may be some issues. That is, there may be issues with scalability."
"The updates as well as the patches could be improved. I believe it would be beneficial to automate the process of router patching to avoid the need for manual checks. With automated patching, as long as the router is connected to the internet, it can automatically perform necessary updates. Failing to patch the router can leave me vulnerable to potential security threats."
"As far as improvements, there are basically only two things I would suggest. First, I think they should provide extensive training for the new releases of products, especially in the LTE space. Second, they could spend more time ensuring that their OS releases are more stable, rather than waiting for things to fall apart on the customer's premises before they make the necessary changes."
"I would like to see a cluster feature added, where multiple devices can be configured and managed as one. One is in a standby state while the other is active, and if one fails then the other takes over."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches need a firewall policy to secure the network. I also want Mikrotic to add load balancing to the firewall policy, as it's currently hard to do in Mikrotik devices."
