"The solution has good performance."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"What I like about Extreme Routing is its impressive performance."
"It is very easy to set up."
"The routing protocol is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Provides a good redundancy technique."
"Looking at the robustness, I do not know whether it would be carrier grade – let's say for hundreds of thousands of users – but it certainly doesn't balk at 10,000 users or less."
"The most valuable feature is controlling the bandwidth."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches are good and easy to use."
"It's very user-friendly."
"This solution is easy to configure and it's very flexible."
"The product is very reliable."
"These routers and switches are very stable."
"We've enjoyed the fact that it has very good performance."
"We have use cases like providing power over ethernet, as an access controller for Wi-Fi, and normal networking."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"The support, software resiliency, and software stability are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"My advice for those looking into ExtremeRouting is: right now all switch manufacturers are backed up for months. If you're looking to implement quickly, I would say shop around a bit because it might be difficult."
"One area for improvement with Extreme Routing is the need for more accessible and comprehensive training."
"Some of the latest protocols are unavailable."
"The solution is far too unstable. It's completely unreliable."
"It's not evolving as quickly as we would like it to."

"The Soft-GRE support needs to be improved."
"The product needs to include more power."
"The solution should improve the features of Wi-Fi 6 a little bit."
"The updates as well as the patches could be improved. I believe it would be beneficial to automate the process of router patching to avoid the need for manual checks. With automated patching, as long as the router is connected to the internet, it can automatically perform necessary updates. Failing to patch the router can leave me vulnerable to potential security threats."
"The solution needs to be more robust. In case of power fluctuations, MikroTik routers are more vulnerable to malfunctioning."
"The solution needs to improve its security firewalls and mirror that of, for example, Sophos, or FortiGate."
"A central management platform would be great."
