Technical manager at Djamboree
MikroTik routers and switches are quite scalable, but with a centralized management solution, they could potentially be even more scalable.
We have around 5,000 switches in use. We deploy them in small offices with 10 to 20 people and even in enterprise offices with over a hundred people.
We have plans to increase the usage. We use MikroTik a lot due to its price and performance, and it's usually the top choice for our clients for routing and switching.
View full review »According to my use, I would give it a nine or ten out of ten because, actually, I have not used one hundred percent of MikroTik's facilities. At my usage level, it serves me very well.
If we need to scale, MikroTik routers allow us to do so effectively.
We have two MikroTik routers in our headquarters, and our branches are connected with different models of MikroTik routers based on their internet or data link requirements. Almost 17 branches are connected to the headquarters, and it is working fine.
Additionally, we have two physical servers located in different locations. We use separate data links for the servers to ensure redundancy. In total, we are using almost seventeen to eighteen MikroTik hardware devices.

MikroTik doesn't have a simple solution. We have to bring a new one to upgrade the CPU's capacity. It's hard to scale.
Around 2,000 users are using the solution.
I rate the solution's scalability a three out of ten.
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a six out of ten. Considering the client for whom we had deployed the solution, the number of uses using the solution was less than a hundred.

We have about 1,300 employees and 200 employees use MicroTik.

This is a scalable solution. Although, if you deviate too much from your original device then you will need to change it. If, for example, the scope changes significantly from the initial setup, then you might have to change your device.
Essentially, if the change in scale is too large then you might need to also scale your device accordingly.

Director at Navyug Networks
MikroTik Routers and Switches aren't scalable. We have reached the scalability limit with MikroTik. Because MikroTik didn't design 40 gigs or 100 gig routers, it's not scalable. The last MikroTik model is only a ten-gig router. We have 32 or 33 MikroTik routers at the moment.

The product could be a little bit more scalable. The sizing and scaling depend on the device that you are going to buy. I'm going to say this is scalable, however, you do need to plan ahead.
We have about 200 people using the solution currently.
At this point, we do not have plans to increase usage. If we do change, the biggest change will be to migrate from on-premises to the cloud.

MikroTik Routers and Switches is flexible and works well for small networks with a few users or large-scale setups with up to half a million users. Its adaptability allows it to handle different complexities in network configurations. I rate its scalability an eight out of ten.

The solution is quite easy to scale. We haven't had any problems expanding the solution when we need to.
View full review »I would say that these products do not have much potential for scalability. They are limited to what is in the hardware now without doing a firmware update. But one thing is for certain, any firmware update is not going to change our throughput speed. The actual hardware itself is limiting us.
We have approximately 52 employees passively using these products.

The solution isn't really scalable. Each machine has a purpose, and while you can swap it out for a bigger one, you have to create a new design. They're stand-alone products. There is not a flow of products that brings you to the next step easily.

Principal Consultant at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
I think the solutions scale to multiple millions of packets per second products and that they scale right into the data center core. I know that there's still significant apprehension from a lot of large companies concerning their products, but I think that MikroTik has proved to be an extremely good tool for what we are trying to do.
It runs our infrastructure and we provide services to clients, so we have several hundred nodes out in the field who are managed services providers. There are quite a few people that take advantage of the infrastructure that we provide.

TamsanqaSemela
IT Systems Engineer at Mozolo Technologies
It's a very scalable solution. It's not really an issue if companies need to scale. However, the issue of port isolation and the difficulties we have might ultimately affect scaling as we have to maintain security and right now we're struggling with that. When you scale, you compromise security. It's a double-edged sword.
We have about 15 users on the particular solution currently. However, these are solutions that will be deployed across different clients.
