"What I like about Extreme Routing is its impressive performance."
"Provides a good redundancy technique."
"The routing protocol is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"It is very easy to set up."
"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."
"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."
"We make use of a script that will automatically re-route traffic when connections are slow."
"The most valuable feature is its bandwidth management ability."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches are stable"
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The stability is good."
"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 most valuable aspect of this solution is the combination of value for money. They're extremely cost effective, yet they provide you with an extensive feature set of things you can do across the board. Also, they're pretty reliable, as far as equipment goes."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"Some of the latest protocols are unavailable."
"It's not evolving as quickly as we would like it to."
"The support, software resiliency, and software stability are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"One area for improvement with Extreme Routing is the need for more accessible and comprehensive training."
"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."
"The solution is far too unstable. It's completely unreliable."
"Better security is always better. If they can continue to improve in this area, that would be ideal."
"Technical support could be better. They don't have good support like Cisco. It can also be more stable and scalable."
"They should improve technical support and make direct access available to the customers."
"It would be nice if the interface was easier to use."
"The Soft-GRE support needs to be improved."
"The solution needs to offer better documentation."
"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."
"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."
