The initial setup was somewhat complex. The interface is not user-friendly; navigating through it is challenging due to the complexity of various settings and options. I would rate it four out of ten.

The initial setup was straightforward.

WinBooks, the customized model application, has already been successfully deployed and is considered effective.

Deploying it from your machine was straightforward because you simply connected to the network, had all the necessary network parameters, and then proceeded with the deployment.

The initial setup is very fast if you know what you are doing. If you are new to MicroTik you may run into issues. 

The initial setup is very straightforward. You can typically set them up in about 30 minutes, and we do it in-house.

The setup process is simple because MikroTik routers have two setup facilities: console mode and graphical mode. It can be set up very easily using graphical mode. It also provides real-time data on how much data is passing through each port, and it offers redundancy if we have multiple internet connections.

Our team is quite familiar with MikroTik with this many years of experience, so there is no such issue in terms of setup. But I would strongly recommend that MikroTik improves the quality of your power sources because there are a lot of cases which I have seen malfunctioning MikroTik in case of power fluctuations. Also, I think MikroTik needs to focus on some local support partners.

We are an ISP. So when we provide the connectivity to any MSME client, maybe a 20 MBPS or whatever. So we select an appropriate model to be deployed, which is pretty fine. Based on the availability, we put that model on their premises, and we connect it to our network. We also configure everything for them, and if they have another service provider, we also help them to configure that as well. There are cases where we have even had a customer configure their BGP as well. For those who have their own AS number, we have helped them to configure their BGP. Also, we have to integrate it all together.

Regarding the staff members to do the deployment and configuration, we have a kind of centralized thing. So if any help is required, we have some experts sitting at our place, and they can help since we already have around more than ten centers spread across the country. We are operating in four different states of this country. So anybody can call a NOC engineer and get it configured.

Regarding the time taken for deployment, it is almost a PnP technology, so it takes hardly ten minutes to configure. The best part, as I said, is the GUI of MikroTik.

Regarding the maintenance part, sometimes it gives some erratic behavior. That's the very key function. So we are unable to deploy it as our core router. I can give you an example where we have an augmentation point in Equinix in Mumbai. All our thirteen centers are connecting to Mumbai first. And from there, we have a couple of upstreams. So, we have three IX connectivities and a few PNIs. We have direct PNI with Google, Facebook, and a few others. However, in the aforementioned areas, we are still skeptical. Our entire team is skeptical about deploying the MikroTik as our core router because we need something more robust and more predictable. MikroTik has not been able to give that kind of confidence to our team even though we have been using it for the last fifteen years.

The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment process depends on multiple factors. For example, if I need to choose a backup location outside or inside the town, or a different location altogether, and I want to have a protected link such as IPSec or any of these solutions, then we can configure the MikroTik Router according to that specific goal.

The initial setup is easy now. But when I first started out, it was difficult. The initial deployment of the platform that we use and set up the network was done before I started with the company.

The solution is easy to install. I rate the ease of setup a nine out of ten.

The tool's deployment is complex. It was not intuitive, and I had to support myself with web documentation. Deployment involves downloading the software, connecting to the console, making initial configurations, and setting up the features. This is typically how network devices are set up.

I found MikroTik Routers and Switches very easy to set up; plus, you'll find many resources on how to do it on the internet.

After purchase, deploying MikroTik Routers and Switches only took one day.

My company went through the tender process for purchasing MikroTik Routers and Switches and had a contract with the ISP vendor who took the fiber optic line to the office. It was the same day that the company received and set up the Mikrotik devices.

The initial setup is complex.

The setup is quite user-friendly, easy to configure, and easy to troubleshoot.

The deployment process is very easy since you just need to buy the box from the market and deploy the solution in your network. Also, the user interface is very friendly. The solution's configuration, troubleshooting, and establishment of services are all easy. Though I can do the deployment of the solution myself, it is better to consult a senior team member.

For the deployment and maintenance of the solution at the company where I am working, there are four people on the technical team. Our senior manager is a person handling four teams.

The solution is very easy to implement. It's not overly complex. 

I'd rate the setup five out of five in terms of ease of setup.

The maintenance isn't too difficult. If we get new customers, we may need to do some reconfiguration. Maintenance depends on incoming projects or requests from clients.

The initial setup is complex and you need to have a deep understanding in order to deploy it. The time it takes to deploy will depend on what you're configuring, in terms of what technologies. Typically, if it's just for connectivity, in usually 20 to 30 minutes you should be able to get MikroTik up and running. But, if it's compliance and other things then it may take a while longer.

The initial setup is not easy. It took one hour to set up. You cannot set up the product remotely. You have to go to the location. Some ports might be closed. You have to set up the product at the location first and then make some rules to get the connection. After that, you must set up the security, which takes time.

We need two or three technical staff members to deploy and maintain the product. Sometimes more. One administrator, one engineer, and one or two developers.

The initial setup is straightforward. It can be executed within a couple of hours. Only one technical person was required to carry out the task.

The initial setup is complex. It's not easy.  It took me a fair bit of tinkering and possibly well over a week to deploy.

The initial setup was straightforward. The installation was very easy because you are remote, and a beginner can also set it up easily.

You need to learn how to use the software and run MikroTik Router OS or Switch OS. You have to be familiar with all these. If you're a network person, it's very easy for you to set it up. It is pretty much similar to setting up HPE, Juniper, Cisco, or NETGEAR. It's not for novice users. There's a learning curve.

Our team has to get trained and certified in MikroTik.

The initial setup is more complex than Ubiquiti since it's more full-featured. It's up to you how you want to do things. You have to face a slight learning curve. You have to have a background in networking or routing.

Currently, if I have to do a deployment for a simple office, it would be less than a day to have everything up and running.

For our organization, when I started using it, it took maybe a month or two to get used to the features before I migrated fully to the device.

I'm the one who is responsible for the network and therefore I handle any maintenance as well. 

The initial setup was moderately difficult. The deployment doesn’t take long for most devices. Sometimes, there’s a random error or an unpredicted problem that takes two to three hours to resolve.

The product's setup is straightforward. You have to setup the network diagrams first, then define the links, VLAN, and the ports where VLAN is setup. The final stage is deployment. Deployment does not take more than 15 minutes. However, there will be deployment issues if you don't use firewalls or define an interface. You just need an engineer to do the deployment. 

Its initial setup is not very clear. There are multiple ways to do the same thing. 

The initial setup is complicated. It takes half an hour to complete.

The initial setup is straightforward since I am an integrator.

The initial setup isn't too difficult, however, the troubleshooting process can be a bit difficult. 

The deployment process is easy and it doesn't take too long.

This is not an easy product to install. You must have a little bit of training. For example, the IT people need to have a technician course.

I rate the product's deployment a three out of ten. It can be completed in five minutes. I have a range of setups, from relatively small to enterprise-level ones. 

The initial setup is quite easy, and it took two days to deploy it.

The initial setup is easy. That said, for our junior techs, it's not that easy. I normally have to come in, do the firewall, stuff like that. For me, as a seasoned tech, it's pretty straightforward. 

The initial setup can be simple, but it all depends on the features you intend to use. 

It's simple if you are using it as a regular access point. If not, you'll need a little more information to go over all of the features in detail.

I am currently only using it as an access point. It takes two to three minutes to arrange it, which isn't much.

The initial setup of this solution is straightforward.

The deployment takes approximately twenty minutes for the technician to implement one house. It is a matter of connecting and doing some basic enrollment.

It's easy to implement, but it's very hard to fix it when we have trouble. Depending on the project, it usually takes four days to implement this solution.

The initial setup is a little bit complex for beginners. It's difficult to install the router and for initializing from the beginning all of the configurations we need, like setting up the initial firewall rules, for example.

If a user knows all the basic steps, the deployment only takes about ten to 15 minutes.

Because the product has been here for several years, I was not involved in the installation. I assume it was not much different than other routers and switches.  

The installation is very easy.

The initial setup is complex. Users will need to do a bit of research before implementing the product. You must prepare and understand how to set each parameter. You couldn't use Mikrotik if you're not certified or have a deep knowledge of the solution.

The initial setup is not difficult or complex. It's straightforward and very easy to implement. The deployment process is very fast as well. It only really takes a couple of minutes and you are ready to go. 

We are a team of four, and we can handle any deployment or maintenance tasks quite easily.

The installation process is extremely simple. I did it all by myself, but I'm a telecoms engineer, so I have a skill set in that area. 

We have a small technical team of five engineers. It's not a heavyweight job. 

If you read the manual and the documentation carefully, and also research the Wiki support sites, the setup can be quite straightforward.

The length of time for deployment depends on the type of scenario and what you want to do.

To have a working solution it can take weeks. You have to test all of the limits because if you don't know your limits then you don't know your product area. For example, can a device be placed when serving a 1G internet? Knowing the limits and testing the limits is a time-consuming activity. It can take one to two weeks depending on what you are testing.

It's my understanding that the installation process is quite straightforward. It's not too complex or difficult. 

We have administrators and technicians that can handle deployments. We are doing remote installations. We have one technician usually on-premise. They physically connect the device and another technician remotely configures the device. We have some configuration templates. It's quite easy and quick for our team to deploy everything.

If you are not familiar with the solution, the initial setup can be a bit complex. It's quite different from other solutions. Deployment times vary, but it should only take a few hours.

The initial setup is very straightforward and easy. It will take several hours to set up and have it work properly.

The installation is straightforward.

The initial setup is straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour if it's just a basic initial layer that needs to be implemented.

The initial setup was complex, but not too difficult in the end.

When I first starting working with this solution I found the initial setup to be complex, but now I think that it's easy. It takes approximately ten minutes to deploy, although if you want to set up more advanced features like load balancing then it might take thirty minutes.

One person is suitable for both deployment and maintenance.

The installation of MikroTik Routers and Switches is straightforward. It takes less time than other solutions, such as Cisco.

The installation can take anywhere from one hour to one day depending on the environment and the skillset of the person installing it.

The initial setup can be a bit difficult. The configuration can take a lot of time. We only have one person in our company that can do this. It's somewhat impractical. If he's not at work, we can run into issues.

The initial setup is not hard, but it's not necessarily easy either. Upgrading can be difficult with MikroTik. Sometimes, when I need to reboot or change software, MikroTik crashes. When this happens, I need to physically change the configuration. 

The initial setup is straightforward.

The complexity of the initial setup depends on the client. The deployment can take a few weeks.

I didn't have any difficulty with the initial setup. They provide different kinds of documentation. As long as they provide an installation document, I don't have any problem with these installations and different kinds of procedures.
