Cons
"I think there is a need for more support of new generation technologies.""The CLI syntax for this solution is different from other switches such as Cisco and Juniper, and it takes us a long time to integrate a new device and get it working properly."

More Avaya Ethernet Switches [EOL] Cons →

"In medium to large sectors, there's a necessity for managing aspects like proxy firewalls.""It happens that you may find your network is down, if you reboot the switch, they come up. However, sometimes, they reset themselves. That's a big issue.""MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera.""Antispam and antivirus features should be included in the future.""The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version.""There has to be more development in the OS. It's complex for this switch as compared to others like Cisco. For NetGear and Cisco, it's easy to adapt the VLAN concept but it should be simplified for MikroTik.""Improvements are needed with respect to some of the security, especially for VPN links between vendors other than Cisco.""The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved."
