The solution does freeze and is prone to corruption. That said, for the most part, it is stable enough to run.

MikroTik routers and switches are quite stable. The older OS versions are very stable, but the newer ones like RouterOS 7 are still a work in progress and have had some challenges.

I've been using the solution for the past few months, and I haven't had any issues with stability. They're very user-friendly and easy to configure.

If a router fails, has low bandwidth, or hangs, we can just buy another router and include the configuration. It's very cost-effective.  In our country, you can get a good MikroTik router with 10 gigabit ports for only $300.

Personally, we have Huawei as our core router. Compared to Cisco or Huawei, MikroTik is not that reliable, and I would say that without any hesitation.

I rate the tool's stability a four out of ten. Code configurability is a significant feature in big data because it allows administrators to control various aspects of network protocols. However, it can be challenging for those who are not familiar with networking.

MC
Information Technology Supervisor at JLR Construction and Aggregates Inc.

We're very satisfied with the performance. It is stable. I could say if you are using only mostly the core functionality of the device that was built in it - primarily routing, firewall, and then the basic ones, it's very stable. However, for the newer modules, they still have some bugs to fix.

Chad Nel - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior System Administrator at YGtech

It's super stable. I've never had any issues. There were obviously a couple of years back, maybe a year or two back, where there was a vulnerability version 6.3 or 5.8 or something, where the people were able to just run a script, and then it would give them the MikroTik username and password. They could obviously just log in and deploy whatever viruses or grab whatever they needed. That's long since fixed. Other than that, I've never had any issues.

Charbel Hajj - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Supervisor at MEPEQ

MikroTik Routers and Switches are very stable. The area that the Wi-Fi inside of it can cover is very large.

The connection inside is stable. It does not require a constant restart, because it's hanging, or when resetting occurs with a system. 

Usually, it has a very stable and wide range of Wi-Fi coverage.

GF
Technical Support Engineer at Point PC

This solution is ninety percent stable. The defects are coming from instability with the power system, and there are a lot of issues regarding that.

Most of the errors occur when the system shuts down incorrectly. Otherwise, there are not a lot of bugs.

The stability of their switches is very poor. It doesn't have a good score with Spanning Tree Protocol, and it's very difficult to implement.

One thing I can say for the product is that it has been stable. There has not even been downtime. I checked the uptime on it and it has been up almost a year without having to reset or do anything of that nature for maintenance. So by whatever magic, it is stable.

The stability is poor because it's dropping packets. As you control it through the GUI, the device is starting to drop packets, so it is not stable.
