Greatly simplifies troubleshooting; remote access to the router is a huge time saver
The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents. I can always call technical support and ask them if I forget something and I'll get the support, but I shouldn't need to do that. Anything can be improved and unfortunately a good switch is not cheap but there's no choice if you need a special router.

Cost-effective protocol support and a straightforward setup with room for login enhancements
In the network operations center, I manage our client's bandwidth. We connect with our clients through BGP and OSPF based on client demands. We also manage routing protocols, policies, internal firewalls, and other details like QE bandwidth, client manage bandwidth management, PoE, PPPoE, and DNS…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"The pricing is very reasonable and is one of the main selling points for MikroTik devices."
"It is quite stable, it's reliable and its performance is good, with no bugs or glitches."
"My advice is that this is a small package with huge features and you should try it on your own."
"The most valuable feature is controlling the bandwidth."
"What I like best about MikroTik Routers and Switches is its easy handling. The product also has a significantly good interface."
"We've enjoyed the fact that it has very good performance."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
 

Cons

"While the solution is good for the light commercial market or for the residential market, it's not ideal for the commercial market, for example, a big enterprise or data center."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"The only issue is with the software."
"If the client wants bigger capacity, there may be some issues. That is, there may be issues with scalability."
"The user interface is not very good."
"Technical support is not very good, as it is usually done through third-parties."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches need a firewall policy to secure the network. I also want Mikrotic to add load balancing to the firewall policy, as it's currently hard to do in Mikrotik devices."
"The stability is poor because it's dropping packets."
"The biggest thing that needs improvement is the support."
"They lack the extended warranty for the equipment. They only provide a warranty for one year as compared to the other vendors who offer a warranty for three years, five years, and lifetime, etc."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"The main reason we use this solution is for the price — it's very cheap."

"No fees are required for licensing."
"This product is a one-time purchase."
"MikroTik has very aggressive and competitive pricing."
"It's reasonably priced. It's not the most cheap solution, but also, it's not the most expensive one."
"In our company, we are using MikroTik without a license...However, we are planning to buy their services and subscriptions."
"This product is cheaper than competing products by other vendors."
