"The support could improve."

More Broadcom StrataXGS Cons →

"The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved.""Antispam and antivirus features should be included in the future.""The RAM capacity offered by the product needs to be increased, as it is one area where the tool currently has some shortcomings.""It would be even better with a centralized management platform.""If MikroTik had a marketing team and support team in India then it would be much easier for us to get the product, as well as support.""Stuff that I'd like to be improved is really just training and documentation because I think the feature set is full. Another improvement I'd suggest is that their new, bigger releases should be a bit more stable.""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.""The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version."
