We performed a comparison between Huawei 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 technical documentation available is very good. The technical support for the customer is also good - I would give it 8 out of 10."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its very simple configuration."
"If you're a small one-on-one organization, then cost-effective-wise, I would recommend it."
"The velocity of the process is the most valuable feature."
"They are very user-friendly. Handling Huawei is very easy."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its network monitoring system."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is very flexible with many different options."
"We have use cases like providing power over ethernet, as an access controller for Wi-Fi, and normal networking."
"We have not had any downtime with it. It has been a solid performer that way."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches are stable"
"We have found this solution is quite robust and there are a lot of features in a small device."
"The most valuable feature is controlling the bandwidth."
"We've enjoyed the fact that it has very good performance."
"They are stable."
"The features of the equipment fit all the needs of the customers."
"The documentation needs to be better."
"The product should improve cloud capability."
"Huawei Ethernet Switches have not automated its firmware."
"Deploying Huawei Ethernet Switches in an organization offers advantages, especially if the decision is made early in the process and the company opts for a single-vendor approach. This simplifies implementation and customization, often resulting in lower prices and tailored solutions from Huawei. However, excessive customization can lead to support issues and challenges in knowledge transfer during employee turnover."
"The company needs to provide more on hand training on the product."
"It’s hard to get technical support."
"Huawei Switch can make further advancements, as the current CLI lacks functionality. The majority of tasks are performed through the CLI, making it difficult for those without technical expertise to work with. They should enhance the CLI of the access switches to make them more user-friendly. The GUI of the Ethernet Switches should also be improved to allow non-technical users to perform technical tasks with ease. Additionally, the documentation of the solution could improve."
"The licensing cost attached to the solution is atrocious, so from an improvement perspective, it should be made cheaper."
"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."
"The manageability of the web-based UI needs to be improved."
"If the client wants bigger capacity, there may be some issues. That is, there may be issues with scalability."
"The product's setup process could be easier."
"It is slow, old and unfriendly."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches needs to improve stability."
"The solution needs to be more robust. In case of power fluctuations, MikroTik routers are more vulnerable to malfunctioning."
"Troubleshooting can be complex."
