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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MikroTik is a is a Latvian network equipment manufacturer. The company develops and sells wired and wireless network routers, network switches, access points, as well as operating systems and auxiliary software. They are very well prices for the SMB market and can be custom configured for many types of networking without the overhead of the larger players in the market.

The downside is the initial navigation of the interface. Although the product(s) have a wealth of configuration possibilities, the learning curve can be high, particularly for a novice networking engineer. The best advice I could give would be to get your hands on whatever product you plan on implementing and start playing around with it in a lab. Get use to the interface, how to configure the basics, how to update the OS firmware and routerboard firmware, review each option and have a general understanding of what each function does.

The best about Mikrotik is routeros system, that provide all of you will be need about networking, you have an router, switch, firewall and more in only one device. Also is an complete platform in all related to wireless networks and radio links,in the other hand the GUI provided by Winbox is very simply and easy to learn.
