"The solution is scalable."
"Meraki MS Switches are amazing. Whoever built it is a genius. I like that it's a plug-and-play solution."
"The main features of Meraki MS Switches are integration, high quality, and hardware guarantee."
"The interface is great. It's easy to understand for the customer."
"Easily installable, with good scalability, stability and technical support."

"MikroTik Routers and Switches are good and easy to use."
"The MikroTik Hotspot is great."
"The routing is nice and straightforward."
"I've never had any issues with the solution."
"This is a good solution."
"I like MikroTik's GUI. It's completely handy and easy to handle because of its GUI. Despite other brands like Cisco urging me to switch, I didn't because they don't have a GUI. This is the most comfortable thing in my project that anyone can use easily. It's effortless to maintain MikroTik routers because both screens make it very easy in GUI mode. You can easily interact with your hardware."
"The product is simple to use."
"This is quite an expensive solution."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The biggest area that they fall short on is comparing the performance."
"Communication of compliance risk is awkward at best and threatening at worst. It needs to be addressed."
"Licensing is the only thing I can complain about. It's expensive, but everything is these days."
"The pain point for our customers is the pricing and it should be reduced to make it more competitive."
"There is not much training available for this solution."
"They could lower the price."
"There is an area of improvement. The firewall features are self-contained, but features like email scanning and voice control should be improved. This is the best routing product."
"Improvements could be made in terms of SD-WAN capabilities and zero-touch provisioning."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"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."
"f they can improve the OpenVPN, to make that a bit more straightforward, that would be ideal."
"The solution should improve the features of Wi-Fi 6 a little bit."
"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."
"The product's setup process could be easier."
