Greatly simplifies troubleshooting; remote access to the router is a huge time saver
Our primary use case is for internal network distribution and for supplying voiceover IP. It depends on customer requirements but usually it's easier to set up voiceover IP, ePoE from the switch. The routers, such as XWR-3150, can support two different location access points, which is very…

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 less expensive than other options."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"This solution is easy to configure and it's very flexible."
"I like MikroTik's GUI. It's completely handy and easy to handle because of its GUI. Despite other brands like Cisco urging me to switch, I didn't because they don't have a GUI. This is the most comfortable thing in my project that anyone can use easily. It's effortless to maintain MikroTik routers because both screens make it very easy in GUI mode. You can easily interact with your hardware."
"The cost and versatility are the solution's most valuable features. You can do anything with them if you know how to. The solution has a whole portfolio of routing features available."
"It's pretty stable."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches are stable"
"We have found this solution is quite robust and there are a lot of features in a small device."
"The most valuable feature is controlling the bandwidth."
"This equipment is resilient and available at a good price."
 

Cons

"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"When we have a problem and reach out to MikroTik support, it's not very fast. Usually, you have to speak in English, so my technicians need to have strong English skills to communicate."
"As far as improvements, there are basically only two things I would suggest. First, I think they should provide extensive training for the new releases of products, especially in the LTE space. Second, they could spend more time ensuring that their OS releases are more stable, rather than waiting for things to fall apart on the customer's premises before they make the necessary changes."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The interface for management could be improved."
"The initial setup can be a bit difficult. The configuration can take a lot of time."
"It is slow, old and unfriendly."
"The biggest thing that needs improvement is the support."
"The solution needs to be more robust. In case of power fluctuations, MikroTik routers are more vulnerable to malfunctioning."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"The tool is cheap."
"When I compare the price of this solution to competitors it is priced a little high. There is not a license required for this solution."
"When we purchase MikroTik devices, a certain level of the license is included in the price."
"The tool offers a one-time buying option."
"MikroTik's equipment is very cheap compared to Cisco and Huawei."
"They are very cheap and not at all expensive."
"The product is cheap compared to Cisco."
"The solution is not expensive."
