Cons
"It should be more stable, and it should have good integration with the cloud. It should support configuration, supervision, and control through the cloud.""I would like an option to create different networks within the switch.""It could be easier to scale on managed devices.""The solution needs better local support.""The solution needs to improve layer 2 switches.""The solution's web filtering feature could be improved.""They could be more stable. They were not as resistant as Cisco. After some time, some of them failed. This could be because we import quite a lot of products from different horizons, so there is no guarantee of quality. In Africa, these products don't always directly come from the manufacturer. We get these products from the Middle East or Asia. Therefore, you cannot be sure that the quality is exactly similar to what you have in Europe or America.""We have issues with the stability."

"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.""The packet filtering, user log data, and user access log could all be improved.""Improvements are needed with respect to some of the security, especially for VPN links between vendors other than Cisco.""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.""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.""The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved.""In medium to large sectors, there's a necessity for managing aspects like proxy firewalls.""Technical support could be better."
