Complete and functional equipment

  • April 23, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Mikrotik is an equipment with several routing functions, with a very broad technical content available. Its implementation is simple and its graphic interface via Winbox is very intuitive. It allows to implement the most diverse types of service and some MPLS functions. It is a very didactic equipment, ideal for beginners in the world of computer networks.
What do you dislike about the product?
The equipment for the most part is limited in relation to the throughput. The number of physical interfaces could be larger. In older versions, locking routes was also a problem. Its hardware is sensitive to failures, where a simple electrical failure can lead to system startup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Mikrotik is an excellent access equipment. Today we deliver services to our customers through it. Its versatility allows several types of configuration, for the most diverse cases, which allows us for example, use it both in our backbone and to provide access to customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Mikrotik is an easy-to-implement component, with various materials available on the Internet that help with your settings. It has several functions of routing, L2, some functions of MPLS, hotspot, etc. The cost is low, compared to other vendors and for those who are starting in computer networks it is quite didactic and simple. The cost-benefit is valid.

Fully versatile device, complies with virtually any function.

What do you like best about the product?
Mikrotik is a system that I have used lately, has some excellent features, works very well as router, switch, AP and firewall, all this has it included and can perform these functions without any kind of problem, I like its versatility, I learned A lot of this software and I liked to use it, has an excellent security, features functions such as web filtering, I really like its graphical interface with Winbox, it is quite intuitive and you can learn through it many things. It is a fairly fluid and fast system.
What do you dislike about the product?
Until now the only displeasure that I could find is that your information is not complete and specific on the network, I also need to perform more tests with VLANS to be able to judge well although with what I have seen it is not very easy to configure this feature, Like the fate of Portsecurity at the Switch level, this is a great disadvantage compared to other systems that are very remarkable, but can be plugged off by the interfaces that are not being used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Mikrotik lately for many tests, I have acquired 2 products with this system to perform tests and thus be able to offer it to my distinctive clients as a less expensive option and with good characteristics that can cover the needs that it has in its networks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I fully recommend mikrotik for any type of network that needs either a firewall, router, siwtch or AP, mikrotik has a wide range of these devices which I recommend, it is also quite important to recommend studying it to understand it. Basic to configure the most optimal way possible and take advantage of all its virtues.

Flexible hardware that can do anything you can think of

  • March 11, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I can make MikroTik devices do absolutely anything I can think of, and every piece of hardware has the same software and can route, filter and mangle.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is hard to learn how to use a MikroTik router/access point at first, but you can quickly learn and pick up tips.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use MikroTiks to share our cable modem internet connection, and it was the only piece of hardware we could find that could effectively integrate a LTE/4G backup that automatically failed over. It was complicated to set up, but it has saved us countless hours of downtime when our main internet provider goes down, which it does on a regular basis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are a number of MikroTik books that are very useful.

Helps me work at home with always-on VPN

  • March 11, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I can access anything that is in the office (file server, printers, VOIP) using a VPN, and it also has better wireless signal range.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any problems with my Mikrotik router box.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I had a Mikrotik installed at home by our network lady. It replaced the router that my ISP gave me, and has an always-on connection to the office called a VPN. I am able to access everything that is in the office (file server, printer, VOIP) just like I am there, so I am able to work at home. It really helps when you have kids.

We have a Mikrotik router in the office and it has always worked

  • March 11, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that the router in our office is reliable and has always worked perfectly. That is important.
What do you dislike about the product?
The configuration page for MikroTik is very complicated if you are not familiar with networking. I would like to see an alternative page that is friendly for consumer users, then perhaps MikroTik would get more customers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a Mikrotik router in our office that routes our internet connection from our cable modem, to our office computers. It also provides wireless access, and we have a wireless printer connected to it. We benefit by being able to share our internet connection, and it goes as fast as our internet provider gives us (200/10). We're very happy with it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You will need to be at least familiar with networking to get a MikroTik working. Or just have someone set it up for you.

Cloud Hosted Router (CHR) is a RouterOS version intended for running as a virtual machine. It supports the x86 64-bit architecture and can be used on most of the popular hypervisors such as VMWare, Hyper-V, VirtualBox, KVM and others. CHR has full RouterOS features enabled by default but has a different licensing model than other RouterOS versions.
