Easy to set up, user-friendly, and reliable

I'm also familiar with Cisco which I used at another company. Cisco is a little bit expensive to acquire. With MikroTik, came with the same solution and you can use so many features. In MikroTik, you can use maybe two routers or one router to cover all your requirements, which you can also do on Cisco. This product is also cheaper than Cisco. Cisco has a lot of complications even with the configurations. On the price issues or even support issues, you may need to have so many routers when using Cisco for a simple solution. If you can use only one switch to clear your solution, why don't you use MikroTik? You don't have to use Cisco to have more than one switch to solve your problem.

Cons

"MikroTik Cloud Router Switch needs improvement in the area of security, although the recent models are addressing this."

"The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved."

"Improvements are needed with respect to some of the security, especially for VPN links between vendors other than Cisco."

"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."
