Cons
"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.""MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera.""In medium to large sectors, there's a necessity for managing aspects like proxy firewalls.""Antispam and antivirus features should be included in the future.""The user interface could improve and they should allow a license for IBS.""Stuff that I'd like to be improved is really just training and documentation because I think the feature set is full. Another improvement I'd suggest is that their new, bigger releases should be a bit more stable.""The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved.""Improvements are needed with respect to some of the security, especially for VPN links between vendors other than Cisco."
