"MikroTik routers are very user-friendly and easy to manage"
"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."
"It's great for small businesses or home offices."
"It's very user-friendly."
"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."
"I've never had any issues with the solution."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"Technical support could be better."
"The RAM capacity offered by the product needs to be increased, as it is one area where the tool currently has some shortcomings."
"If MikroTik had a marketing team and support team in India then it would be much easier for us to get the product, as well as support."

"Antispam and antivirus features should be included in the future."
"The user interface could improve and they should allow a license for IBS."
"MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera."
"The solution needs to improve its security firewalls and mirror that of, for example, Sophos, or FortiGate."
"The solution needs to offer better documentation."
"It could be more scalable. Product awareness could also be better. There's a lack of awareness when it comes to MikroTik. People only know about Cisco and others, and they won't rely on MikroTik. This is primarily because of hardware limitations. While this product is good economically, it's unsuitable for high-end projects. In the next release, I want this product to be more compatible."
"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."
"Better security is always better. If they can continue to improve in this area, that would be ideal."
"It would be nice if the interface was easier to use."
"The interface for management could be improved."
"The user interface allows you to do a lot of things, but it is not user-friendly."
