What do you like best about MikroTik?

First Of All, the Addresses!! Easiest way to input address of every particular zone our ISP has given, we basically look after every user for a particular instance whoever is facing issues in connectivity, its easy to check the speed how much user is getting on uploads and downloads. it shows every user who is connected and who is facing issues in speed. Graphs that show on PPP section allows to monitor the speed of every user. You can ping a server which shows every data about how much packets are being transferred and how much there is packet loss.

What do you dislike about MikroTik?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
