"It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"It is very easy to set up."
"What I like about Extreme Routing is its impressive performance."
"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 routing protocol is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Provides a good redundancy technique."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It has a lot of features. I haven't explored them all yet."
"They are very good at providing the bandwidth for multi-tenants and multi-dwelling units. We're managing WiFi hotspots for hundreds of locations, and the speed and performance are quite there. They also have very cheap 10G products that come with really good and flexible software. They are way cheaper than the top brands, and they're able to deliver the same performance and capabilities."
"The stability is good."
"MikroTik routers are very user-friendly and easy to manage"
"The pricing is very reasonable. It's not too expensive."
"The most valuable feature is the price because it's highly cost-effective concerning the functionalities provided within the box. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. The initial setup is straightforward. I would recommend the solution because it provides value for money."
"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."
"They are stable."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"The support, software resiliency, and software stability are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"It's not evolving as quickly as we would like it to."
"One area for improvement with Extreme Routing is the need for more accessible and comprehensive training."
"The solution is far too unstable. It's completely unreliable."
"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."
"The solution needs to be more robust. In case of power fluctuations, MikroTik routers are more vulnerable to malfunctioning."
"The manageability of the web-based UI needs to be improved."
"They should improve technical support and make direct access available to the customers."
"The solution needs to improve its security firewalls and mirror that of, for example, Sophos, or FortiGate."
"I would like to see some content filtering with MikroTik Routers and Switches."
"If the reporting functionality of the solution is considered, I think it is not good."
"The queuing functionality needs improvement. The initial setup could be simplified."
