"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches are stable"

"The support, software resiliency, and software stability are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"Some of the latest protocols are unavailable."

"MikroTik does not have a wireless solution. If they created a high-performance wireless solution we would deploy it in our infrastructure."
"The solution is a complicated device."
"They could improve their product if they set, for instance, a controller for wireless LAN. That would allow them to really have something more than an access point."
