"The solution is pretty easy to set up after a bit of training."
"It offers high protection and I like it."

"They have amazing speed and reliability, and they also provide value for money. They are pretty powerful."
"MikroTik offers full enterprise capabilities at a very reasonable price."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the combination of value for money. They're extremely cost effective, yet they provide you with an extensive feature set of things you can do across the board. Also, they're pretty reliable, as far as equipment goes."
"I have seen a return on investment since we didn't have to pay a licensing fee."
"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 solution is stable."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"While it is challenging to pinpoint specific areas for enhancement, there is room for better support and updates for Ansible."
"Finding market expertise is hard."
"Most IT equipment now has graphical interfaces, and there is a need for the Juniper routers to have a more intuitive web interface."
"The price of this solution should be improved."
"In terms of what could be improved, they could extend the software warranty to be for its lifetime, as well. At the moment, the software warranty is limited, I think to one year."
"The solution could improve reliability and it needs more functions."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"The solution could improve by providing better training to allow more sales of the solution in the market."
"There needs to be better support for this solution in India. We have no local support."
"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."
"I would like to have the option of having multiple logins."
"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."
"They need to create a license for IBS. I have a lot of clients that have spam on their networks."
"It could be more scalable. Product awareness could also be better. There's a lack of awareness when it comes to MikroTik. People only know about Cisco and others, and they won't rely on MikroTik. This is primarily because of hardware limitations. While this product is good economically, it's unsuitable for high-end projects. In the next release, I want this product to be more compatible."
"When we have a problem and reach out to MikroTik support, it's not very fast. Usually, you have to speak in English, so my technicians need to have strong English skills to communicate."
"The product needs to include more power."
