"The solution offers very good multi-routing."
"The features of the equipment fit all the needs of the customers."
"I want the solution to include a unified controller."
"They need to enhance their code and their EOS. They need to improve some security features, and there are quite a number of bugs in their system. So, they need to work on that piece. In the next release, we need to have a modular feature. Instead of providing an integrated solution, they should go for something modular. They need to come up with modular highly scalable models. Even at the chassis layer, I want to see some improvement."
"The community is good but is not good enough. It still needs to grow more."
"The stability of this solution needs to be improved as part of the next upgrade."

"It is slow, old and unfriendly."
"A central management platform would be great."
"As far as improvements, there are basically only two things I would suggest. First, I think they should provide extensive training for the new releases of products, especially in the LTE space. Second, they could spend more time ensuring that their OS releases are more stable, rather than waiting for things to fall apart on the customer's premises before they make the necessary changes."
"They lack the extended warranty for the equipment. They only provide a warranty for one year as compared to the other vendors who offer a warranty for three years, five years, and lifetime, etc."
"The solution needs to offer better documentation."
"I would like to see some content filtering with MikroTik Routers and Switches."
"The batch management could be improved."
"f they can improve the OpenVPN, to make that a bit more straightforward, that would be ideal."
