"What I like about Extreme Routing is its impressive performance."
"Provides a good redundancy technique."
"The routing protocol is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"It is very easy to set up."
"Looking at the robustness, I do not know whether it would be carrier grade – let's say for hundreds of thousands of users – but it certainly doesn't balk at 10,000 users or less."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I think they have very strong routers because they have multiple processors. I like its easy configuration with applications. For example, configuration with Linux, Iptables, and routing protocols."
"One of the primary advantages is its competitive pricing in the market."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the combination of value for money. They're extremely cost effective, yet they provide you with an extensive feature set of things you can do across the board. Also, they're pretty reliable, as far as equipment goes."
"The flexible IP firewall and IP network address translation make it very easy to give access to internal services."
"It has a lot of features. I haven't explored them all yet."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches are stable"
"They are very good at providing the bandwidth for multi-tenants and multi-dwelling units. We're managing WiFi hotspots for hundreds of locations, and the speed and performance are quite there. They also have very cheap 10G products that come with really good and flexible software. They are way cheaper than the top brands, and they're able to deliver the same performance and capabilities."
"The pricing is very reasonable. It's not too expensive."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"My advice for those looking into ExtremeRouting is: right now all switch manufacturers are backed up for months. If you're looking to implement quickly, I would say shop around a bit because it might be difficult."
"Some of the latest protocols are unavailable."
"The solution is far too unstable. It's completely unreliable."
"The support, software resiliency, and software stability are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"It's not evolving as quickly as we would like it to."
"One area for improvement with Extreme Routing is the need for more accessible and comprehensive training."

"f they can improve the OpenVPN, to make that a bit more straightforward, that would be ideal."
"The product's setup process could be easier."
"The solution's website isn't that good. When I go to it, I can't find what I'm looking for. However, if I go to a third party's website, I can easily find the information."
"The Soft-GRE support needs to be improved."
"The solution needs to be more robust. In case of power fluctuations, MikroTik routers are more vulnerable to malfunctioning."
"I would appreciate enhancements to impose more restrictions on VPN connections."
"The solution should improve the features of Wi-Fi 6 a little bit."
