"The beauty of MikroTik is that you have flexibility with the routing parts."
"The most valuable feature is that it has better throughput than its competitors."
"It is easy to set up."
"A valuable aspect is its user-friendly configuration, making it accessible even for individuals with basic technical knowledge."
"Some of the most valuable features are the simplicity, cost, usability, and power. As a package, it's extremely effective."
"It is user-friendly, reliable, and cheap."
"I would like the ability to stack with different switch brands."
"The only problem is that at the moment it's an Extreme product and Extreme is not really pushing it. They have to make up for weak innovation and I'm not sure if they want to do that."
"Its scalability can be better. If possible, it can have Hyper POE. I am not sure if there is a fiber version."
"The packet filtering, user log data, and user access log could all be improved."
"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."
"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."
"In medium to large sectors, there's a necessity for managing aspects like proxy firewalls."
"The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved."
"The initial setup is complex."
"MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera."
"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."
