"It's pretty stable."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches are good and easy to use."
"I've never had any issues with the 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."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"Cisco Cloud Services Router could improve by having more features. It is lacking features, such as virtualization and containerization. Additionally, there should be increased security and connectivity between routers."
"If you lose connectivity to the cloud, it is difficult to establish connectivity between hub and spoke."
"The initial setup is easy for one device but is more complex when numerous devices need to be configured."
"I would like to see better security, where there are more access controls and data confidentiality."
"The ease of use within the AWS environment needs to improve. Sometimes, it is very esoteric in how you use it. Therefore, you have to learn to use it, then you are able to."
"They have an online registration that happens after they pick up block months. If they could decrease to yearly or something, sometimes the device is not cell phone accessible. That becomes an issue or challenge for us. If that can be improved, that would be really great."
"There should be a system in place to help existing users make an easier transition to the newer interfaces."
"I would like the ability to moderate between devices on-premise to off-premise. This would be a vast improvement."
"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."
"It would be nice if the interface was easier to use."
"I would like to see some content filtering with MikroTik Routers and Switches."
"Wireless throughput has not kept up with the competition."
"I would like to have some additional filtering options added in the future."
"The ports could be improved, as certain areas may need to be terminated with a greater number of Ethernet ports. We initially faced challenges that hindered our network usage, especially with third-party applications that were not certified or supported. It took some time to streamline and resolve these issues."
"The user interface allows you to do a lot of things, but it is not user-friendly."
"The solution is a complicated device."
