We performed a comparison between ExtremeRouting and MikroTik Routers and Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"The routing protocol is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Provides a good redundancy technique."
"What I like about Extreme Routing is its impressive performance."
"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."
"It is very easy to set up."
"It is a stable solution. I have been using the solution for a while, and I don't face any outages or trouble while using the solution."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The features of the equipment fit all the needs of the customers."
"I think they have very strong routers because they have multiple processors. I like its easy configuration with applications. For example, configuration with Linux, Iptables, and routing protocols."
"The tool's most valuable features are flexibility and configuration. It can be used in large setups."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches are stable"
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"One area for improvement with Extreme Routing is the need for more accessible and comprehensive training."
"The support, software resiliency, and software stability are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"Some of the latest protocols are unavailable."
"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."
"It's not evolving as quickly as we would like it to."
"The solution is far too unstable. It's completely unreliable."
"It is slow, old and unfriendly."
"There needs to be better support for this solution in India. We have no local support."
"If the reporting functionality of the solution is considered, I think it is not good."
"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."
"There are limitations to how many users you have simultaneously."
"They should improve technical support and make direct access available to the customers."
"The ports could be improved, as certain areas may need to be terminated with a greater number of Ethernet ports. We initially faced challenges that hindered our network usage, especially with third-party applications that were not certified or supported. It took some time to streamline and resolve these issues."
"It could be more scalable. Product awareness could also be better. There's a lack of awareness when it comes to MikroTik. People only know about Cisco and others, and they won't rely on MikroTik. This is primarily because of hardware limitations. While this product is good economically, it's unsuitable for high-end projects. In the next release, I want this product to be more compatible."
