"There are a lot of features to control permitting or stopping packets in the network."
"The setup is easy."
"MikroTik offers full enterprise capabilities at a very reasonable price."
"They use wireless and wired connections that include all of the features."
"It is a stable solution. I have been using the solution for a while, and I don't face any outages or trouble while using the solution."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"We use the product for VPN."
"We're very happy with what we are getting out of the solution in general. The features are good. They're comparable to other brands such as Cisco and HP."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"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."
"The packet filtering, user log data, and user access log could all be improved."
"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."
"Technical support could be better."
"The bulk efficiencies and the control of traffic could be a bit better."
"The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version."
"MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera."
"If the reporting functionality of the solution is considered, I think it is not good."
"The solution needs to offer better documentation."
"Troubleshooting can be complex."
"As far as improvements, there are basically only two things I would suggest. First, I think they should provide extensive training for the new releases of products, especially in the LTE space. Second, they could spend more time ensuring that their OS releases are more stable, rather than waiting for things to fall apart on the customer's premises before they make the necessary changes."
"The manageability of the web-based UI needs to be improved."
"The initial setup can be a bit difficult. The configuration can take a lot of time."
"The solution needs to improve its security firewalls and mirror that of, for example, Sophos, or FortiGate."
"A central management platform would be great."
