Make sure your network is efficient and effective.

What do you like best about the product?
Bandwidth management and network control can be freely arranged according to my wishes. It has a web proxy that can be used as a wifi login pop-up which makes it look more modern.
What do you dislike about the product?
License level with no clear boundaries so it's confusing. Recording the history of errors in a log that is confusing and without clear descriptions can create security holes due to slow handling.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Features an even and dynamic distribution of bandwidth so that it can provide comfort and good performance to network users. Layer 7 protocol that can be used to dynamically filter access to several file extensions and sites.

This works just like the physical hardware. You can use it for VPN and firewall services, at a much lower cost. I can go over a year of uptime on the VPN!

budget friendly device

What do you like best about the product?
We love this brand of devices from Routers to AP for the following reasons.

1) Cheaper than another networking brand but the performance and features are superb
2) Easy to learn and understand how their devices work and configurations.
3) No need to dwell into CLI when managing the devices as they have a desktop app
4) They have Safe mode in their app which is a great feature in the event of a mishap happening when configuring.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that I don`t like about this brand and their devices because their devices are great
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MikroTik is able to solve our budget limit but well-performed networking devices

Mikrotik is High-Performance/Low-Cost Infrastructure

  • October 28, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really like the Mikrotik CCR (Cloud Core Router) platform and it's Tilera chips!
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the fact that there are no readily available open-source firmware for this hardwrae.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mikrotik hardware allows me to do bandwidth allocation and to realize a full 10Gbps throughput from port to port on the CCR hardware.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a relatively low-cost router with extremely high performance, Mikrotik is the answer. The software has a bit of a learning curve, but it's well worth it. Mikrotik does an excellent job supporting their products, but you probably won't often need it. Their wiki and knowledgebase support is pretty good.

Mikrotik - Low Cost but high performance fits our needs perfectly

  • September 02, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Mikrotik, although it can look consumer grade from the outside, is a full-fledge router competing with the greats such as cisco but for only a fraction of the price. We use their routers in all our buildings we service and for any customers. They seem to have a product to fit any need and constantly improve and release new devices to fit new requirements. Our company is continuously growing, and we can upgrade to better hardware on the same software is terrific.
What do you dislike about the product?
Mikrotik has a bad reputation from an exploit they resolved a couple of years ago. We have had many IT companies try to blame the equipment although having an entirely different issue. Also, when new products are released if on a new platform such as ARM64 you will want to wait some time as generally, there are lock up issues you could run into (ex. RB4011 revision 1 had issues fixed in revision 2)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company is an Internet service provider. We are growing day by day, and our network usage is climbing exponentially. It's easy for us to jump from a HEX to a CCR1072 without too many configuration differences making it very easy for us to scale.

Versatile Network Management.

  • May 20, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
No Matter What Model Hardware I get EVerything is consistent in the way it works. as it has the same software options availble on every router with it's only limitations to that statement is Processing power/ Ram and storage.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently does not include Unified Threat management. or gateway anti-virus.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm able to Remotely Manage any network equipment with a Mikrotik in a Secure Fashion by combining OpenVPN Clients and Versatile Networking Tricks. and the ability to connect to Multiple Wifi hotspots depending on the Technician I send out without re-configuring the router each time I send a Tech out.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Remember to use the Safe Mode Feature when setting features that you are not used to. and all the time if the device is remote.

A complete router/firewall

  • July 28, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Mikrotiks routers are exceptional well built, always on and always working as expected. Great community behind them, great Wiki and knowledge base. Their routers are ideal for MSPs that are trying to implement good SLA networks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Is hard to find something to dislike about it, it might be useful to have all critical updates installed automatically as we are quite busy and cannot always read the latest security news.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helped us built a redundant managed network for a business estate at a low cost while not compromising on reliability.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a good router with all the features a SMB and also not spend a fortune on it then the Mikrotik products are what you are looking for.
