What do you like best about MikroTik?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MikroTik?

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.
