More Netgate TNSR Pros →

Cons
"The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version.""Improvements are needed with respect to some of the security, especially for VPN links between vendors other than Cisco.""It happens that you may find your network is down, if you reboot the switch, they come up. However, sometimes, they reset themselves. That's a big issue.""The user interface could improve and they should allow a license for IBS.""The initial setup is complex.""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.""MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera.""If MikroTik had a marketing team and support team in India then it would be much easier for us to get the product, as well as support."
