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 server. These protocols are important especially for ISPs handling local networks.

We use the solution mostly for wireless communications and as our core connection to the Internet. For our local networks, we use Aruba. When we need to connect to the Internet, we use MikroTik Routers and Switches because of their firewalls. Although we have a few implementations of FortiGate, we've decided to stay with MikroTik Routers and Switches for our startup solutions. It also handles our VPN access to remote switches. It has a really good firewall and supports many leading protocols.
We use the product as a cybersecurity device. We use MikroTik Routers and Switches for a large client to provide them with services such as traffic shaping, firewalling, and categorization of internet access. This enables us to implement measures like blocking unwanted access

We are a public sector medium-sized company. We use MikroTik's router part for managing internet circuits, particularly in cases where cost is paramount, ensuring cost-effective access for internet circuits.
In our CCTV system, we have two types of cameras: analog and IP. For the IP cameras, we utilize switches with PoE. This feature eliminates the need for a separate power cable, as the camera receives both power and data through a single Ethernet cable. We have found that MicroTik switches work seamlessly with these cameras, providing reliable operation without any issues.
We use them for running services, especially big PoE services and VLAN routing. We also use them at remote premises to provide quick Wi-Fi. For switching, we use them for regular switching and in places where we need a lot of fiber interfaces.
Hello, thank you for your post. I use MikroTik routers and switches for my last mile delivery business. They are reliable, affordable, and easy to configure. I can manage the network traffic and security of my fleet of vehicles and drivers using the MikroTik software. If you are interested in learning more about last mile delivery, I recommend reading this article: https://www.cleveroad.com/blog/last-mile-delivery-software/. It explains the benefits, challenges, and best practices of creating a software solution for this industry. I found it very helpful and informative. I hope you enjoy it too.
So the company I work for sells a guest Wi-Fi platform for restaurants, bars, cafes, hotels, etc. Predominantly, we configure MikroTik Routers and Switches with our platform and then integrate them into the existing network of the businesses.
Using MikroTik Routers and Switches, I can perform network segmentation for both LAN and Wi-Fi networks, and even for 22-point solutions. Additionally, I can use these devices as a firewall.
We had been using MikroTik as a firewall to implement firewall policies and to implement queues along with DNS and DStv services. Additionally, we were using MikroTik to control our end users by limiting their website browsing and the limiting their upload and download speed. The aim was also to prevent them from indulging in any unauthorized access to the internet.

Even a MikroTik switch can be made to be a router. And even a router, you can convert it into a switch. It depends on your configuration and the way you set it. If you want it to be a switch, it'll be a switch. If you want it to work as a router, it will work as a router. This is not like Cisco, for example, where a router cannot be a switch.
We use MikroTik Routers and Switches as access points rather than all-purpose routers. We are not working with all of the functions as it is also connected with the Catalyst Switch.
We are a solution provider and we focus on integrating and monitoring critical infrastructure. We offer many products to our clients for Wi-Fi, switching, cabling, and monitoring. We also offer sensors and other devices in our portfolio. We implement MikroTik Routers and Switches for small locations.
We're currently using MikroTik Routers and Switches for around six gigabytes, and we're upgrading to about 13 or 14 gigs. It's unable to handle that much upload, and that's why we're upgrading it.

I have worked more with the MikroTik Routers, as opposed to their switching products. We use this solution to route traffic in our network. For example, if one group is experiencing a slow connection then we can re-route the traffic. This is possible because we have multiple links on our premises.
We use MikroTik both in our company and clients. Even extended to our household clients. MikroTik devices offer you similar features you'll normally get from high priced devices like Cisco and HP, however at a fraction of the costs. This works very nicely with us since our clients are mainly small and medium. The device price doesn't dictate whether the client gets a solution. VLANs, L3 Routing, Load Balancing, HotSpot are amongst some of the features we normally use in many of our deployments.
