"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"This equipment is resilient and available at a good price."
"The pricing is very reasonable. It's not too expensive."
"It's great for small businesses or home offices."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"They are very good at providing the bandwidth for multi-tenants and multi-dwelling units. We're managing WiFi hotspots for hundreds of locations, and the speed and performance are quite there. They also have very cheap 10G products that come with really good and flexible software. They are way cheaper than the top brands, and they're able to deliver the same performance and capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do anything on all platforms."
"I think they have very strong routers because they have multiple processors. I like its easy configuration with applications. For example, configuration with Linux, Iptables, and routing protocols."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"Compatibility with other platforms could be improved."
"Better management tools are needed."
"Technical support could be better."
"They should work on lowering their prices in Brazil to stay competitive with rivals and offer customers more affordable options."
"The solution is expensive."
"I'd like to see more security features, like support for different types of encryptions."
"Its customer service could be better for older equipment models."
"It is slow, old and unfriendly."
"They should improve technical support and make direct access available to the customers."
"Better security is always better. If they can continue to improve in this area, that would be ideal."
"It would be nice if the interface was easier to use."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches need a firewall policy to secure the network. I also want Mikrotic to add load balancing to the firewall policy, as it's currently hard to do in Mikrotik devices."
"I would like to see a cluster feature added, where multiple devices can be configured and managed as one. One is in a standby state while the other is active, and if one fails then the other takes over."
"The ports could be improved, as certain areas may need to be terminated with a greater number of Ethernet ports. We initially faced challenges that hindered our network usage, especially with third-party applications that were not certified or supported. It took some time to streamline and resolve these issues."
"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."
