The main reason why MikroTik Cloud Router Switch is usually chosen is its raw performance to price ratio. In comparison to UniFi switches, MikroTik Cloud Router Switch can mirror all ports for traffic inspection for further traffic analysis, which UniFi cannot do.

VLANs in MikroTik Cloud Router Switch are always useful. The way MikroTik implements VLAN-aware switching at the bridge level is hidden in the configuration. Making CRS work as a simple VLAN-aware switch requires deeper configuration, which is not intuitive.

VLANs support individual interfaces not part of the bridge, allowing for double VLANing. You can create a VLAN interface in the interfaces context and also create a bridge interface, add physical ports, create VLANs for that bridge interface, and assign tagged and untagged ports and VLANs.

Load balancing is one of the key components. The feature itself is quite efficient and works reliably on MikroTik Cloud Router Switch. The very basic setup is one of my favorites because they have their protocol where I can connect through the MAC address right on Layer 2, and I don't lose connectivity to the switch if I mess up with bridging or IP addressing.

As an integrator, the best advantage of the product is its cost.

MikroTik Cloud Router Switch stands out for its features, especially those available at that price point.

I don't get involved too much in the setup of MikroTik Cloud Router Switch, so I appreciate the ease of setup. There are no specific features we use it for; its cost-effectiveness for internet access is what matters.

One useful feature we utilize is Ethernet over IP.

The positive impact of the solution on our company and clients is that it provides an attractive price point. It allows us to deliver cost-compliant solutions to our clients. Since we work in the public sector, cost is a very important attribute, and that's where it fits in our portfolio.

The best feature of the MikroTik Cloud Router Switch is its competitive price. We use RouterOS, their operating system.

In terms of security options and network monitoring tools contributing to maintaining our network integrity and performance, we use the MikroTik RouterOS included with the MikroTik Cloud Router Switch.

Regarding security and visibility in monitoring, it is very good, the GUI is very intuitive, and it has many more features than those from major vendors. The monitoring and debugging features are really good.

The simplicity of how one can set it up is the most valuable aspect. It's unlike Cisco. With Cisco devices, you have to go to the command-line interface to type the command. A MikroTik Router also has a command-line interface where there are options, just a user-friendly interface where you can click on some button and just type in some things and get done. You don't have to worry about remembering commands, on what line to put your command, or where to write a command. That's the feature I like.

It is easy to set up.

The solution is stable.

It's scalable.
