We performed a comparison between Cisco Linksys 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."They have so many series that can cater to SMBs, banks, or telcos. They have a wide range of options."
"it's a stable solution. We have not experienced any bugs or issues. Many data centers and enterprise data centers prefer Cisco to any other product because they are very stable."
"Linksys switches are easy to use. You can pull the switch out of the box, plug it in, and it's going to work."
"The most valuable feature is performance."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"I am impressed with the tool's features like routing, Layer 2 security, and port security."
"Cisco products are always stable."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches are pretty good overall."
"The routing is nice and straightforward."
"MikroTik routers are very user-friendly and easy to manage"
"The pricing is very reasonable. It's not too expensive."
"They are very good at providing the bandwidth for multi-tenants and multi-dwelling units. We're managing WiFi hotspots for hundreds of locations, and the speed and performance are quite there. They also have very cheap 10G products that come with really good and flexible software. They are way cheaper than the top brands, and they're able to deliver the same performance and capabilities."
"I like the routing features."
"The solution is stable."
"One of the primary advantages is its competitive pricing in the market."
"The cost and versatility are the solution's most valuable features. You can do anything with them if you know how to. The solution has a whole portfolio of routing features available."
"Technical documents and other configuration-related information should be more freely available online."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches are stable but could be better."
"Make them tougher and more ruggedized for warmer and Industrial types of environments, and HumiSeal the main boards and internal components."
"Some experts say that the price may be lower or that the ethernet switches are complex to set up and manage, maybe because of limited port density, supports, and quality of service, like capabilities."
"On a scale of one to ten, with one being the worst and ten being the best, I rate the tool's scalability as seven since there are some limitations."
"The solution's support can use improvement because they are not very good at following up."
"Cisco Linksys could be more secure. It could also add a controller to control all the devices, like the access points and so on."
"The problem with installation is not the installation process, but the building. Sometimes our building has a high ceiling, so installation is hard."
"There are limitations to how many users you have simultaneously."
"The initial setup could be easier."
"The CPU load is too high. This causes the Internet to lag."
"In the Israeli market, we are in need of Hebrew support."
"When we have a problem and reach out to MikroTik support, it's not very fast. Usually, you have to speak in English, so my technicians need to have strong English skills to communicate."
"The user interface allows you to do a lot of things, but it is not user-friendly."
"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."
"The product's setup process could be easier."
