Greatly simplifies troubleshooting; remote access to the router is a huge time saver
Our primary use case is for internal network distribution and for supplying voiceover IP. It depends on customer requirements but usually it's easier to set up voiceover IP, ePoE from the switch. The routers, such as XWR-3150, can support two different location access points, which is very…

"We have use cases like providing power over ethernet, as an access controller for Wi-Fi, and normal networking."
"The most valuable feature is controlling the bandwidth."
"The radius and wireless features are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
 

Cons

"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"f they can improve the OpenVPN, to make that a bit more straightforward, that would be ideal."
"The solution's website isn't that good. When I go to it, I can't find what I'm looking for. However, if I go to a third party's website, I can easily find the information."
"The user interface allows you to do a lot of things, but it is not user-friendly."
"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."
"This product could offer better integration with VPNs."
"Troubleshooting can be complex."
"The user interface is not very good."
"We'd like for them to improve the UI and improve on speed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"In terms of the economic side, we're completely satisfied. The price is affordable for both SMEs and enterprises."
"The product is cheap compared to Cisco."
"There is a one-time license fee for the use of this solution and it is less expensive than Cisco products."
"The tool offers a one-time buying option."
"When you buy a license, it is for life and you don't need to buy another one every year."
"When I compare the price of this solution to competitors it is priced a little high. There is not a license required for this solution."
"MikroTik is very cost-effective and quite good for the price. It performs very well. For one of our customers, the existing setup comprises Cisco Catalyst switches, and it is about 10 to 15 years old. We're looking into upgrading in a cost-effective way to get the performance and yet still be at par with the quality and expectations that customers have from Cisco. Price-wise, Cisco is really expensive, and customers are expecting something different than Cisco so that they can save on IT costs. They don't have the same budget that they had before when they installed Cisco products. That's why they're looking for a solution that can provide performance and features without too much money or investment. We're looking at some alternative brands, such as NETGEAR and MikroTik, to support our proposal."
"There are not any external or hidden costs."
