"The performance is quite good."
"The most valuable feature is the command prompt, which is very user-friendly."
"Stable and scalable routers."
"Cisco support is the most valuable aspect because most technicians in the industry understand how to interface with a Cisco product. When we contact support, we know we'll probably get the answer whether we have to escalate the request to a new engineer or not."
"The most valuable feature is that it has better throughput than its competitors."
"It is user-friendly, reliable, and cheap."
"A valuable aspect is its user-friendly configuration, making it accessible even for individuals with basic technical knowledge."
"It's a well-rounded solution for routing."
"The performance has been good."
"There are a lot of features to control permitting or stopping packets in the network."
"Some of the most valuable features are the simplicity, cost, usability, and power. As a package, it's extremely effective."
"I like that it's quite flexible and addresses different issues. It's quite easy to use, and the pricing is great. We find them to be very capable switches."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"Their support has room for improvement. The regional agents are not that great."
"They are pretty expensive devices."
"Some of the features could be more secure."
"I would like it if Cisco Routers had a longer lifecycle. That's what we need. We don't want to renew or implement a new model. One model should be available for at least five years. This seems impossible nowadays."
"In terms of room for improvement, I think that there is a need for additional administration."
"The security could improve for Cisco Enterprise Routers. I understand there's a security appliance that is separate, but in terms of the router, there can be improvements made to prevent unwanted users from accessing the router or trying to manipulate the traffic that is passing through it."
"The configuration needs improvement. Most routers, like HP or Aruba, use a UI interface. Those solutions are similar and uniform. It's easier for us compared to Cisco because with Cisco you are not using normal commands. They need to enhance the UI to make it more usable."
"The solution could be more secure."
"MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera."
"If MikroTik had a marketing team and support team in India then it would be much easier for us to get the product, as well as support."
"It would be even better with a centralized management platform."
"Antispam and antivirus features should be included in the future."
"There has to be more development in the OS. It's complex for this switch as compared to others like Cisco. For NetGear and Cisco, it's easy to adapt the VLAN concept but it should be simplified for MikroTik."
"In medium to large sectors, there's a necessity for managing aspects like proxy firewalls."
"The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved."
"The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version."
