I rate the product’s pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.

The pricing of the solution is significantly lower than other solutions. There are no additional costs involved.

The price is affordable. When comparing MicroTik products to similar ones from other networking companies, the price difference is substantial, often significantly lower. For instance, a MicroTik device that costs $600 may have a counterpart from Cisco priced at two to three times higher, reaching thousands of dollars. This cost discrepancy is also evident with other brands like HP and Intel. I would rate it three out of ten.

In comparison, especially once you start getting into commercial applications, MikroTik is very affordable. So on the cheaper side of the scale, definitely.

The solution is not expensive. The pricing is good. There are no additional charges associated with the product. The product’s license is for life. I rate the pricing a nine out of ten.

When compared to deploying a Cisco router, the cost is extremely low. I am confident that there are numerous individuals who use MikroTik, particularly those who own P2P networks. No fees are required for licensing.

In our company, we are using MikroTik without a license. Also, we haven't paid or subscribed for their services. However, we are planning to buy their services and subscriptions.

You just pay for licensing and you don't have to worry about add-ons or anything else. You don't pay yearly, you simply pay for the equipment.

I'm a customer and end-user. I just upgrade the licensing. I never buy it. Therefore, I can't speak to the exact pricing. It is easy to upgrade and downgrade, however, according to your needs. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. It's a pretty good product.

It's reasonably priced. It's not the most cheap solution, but also, it's not the most expensive one.

The pricing is very reasonable. It's not too expensive. I don't handle licensing costs. I'm not sure how payments are set up and whether a company would have to pay monthly or yearly.

The pricing is excellent. It's very reasonable and much less than, for example, Cisco. Typically, on the initial package, you do need a license.

MikroTik is very cost-effective and quite good for the price. It performs very well. For one of our customers, the existing setup comprises Cisco Catalyst switches, and it is about 10 to 15 years old. We're looking into upgrading in a cost-effective way to get the performance and yet still be at par with the quality and expectations that customers have from Cisco. Price-wise, Cisco is really expensive, and customers are expecting something different than Cisco so that they can save on IT costs. They don't have the same budget that they had before when they installed Cisco products. That's why they're looking for a solution that can provide performance and features without too much money or investment. We're looking at some alternative brands, such as NETGEAR and MikroTik, to support our proposal.

There are not any external or hidden costs. The company bought the products and put them in. They are not paying for any kind of maintenance or anything of that nature at this point.

The pricing of the solution is quite reasonable. What we do is we buy Level Four devices, so we don't have to buy license supported versions.
