Greatly simplifies troubleshooting; remote access to the router is a huge time saver
The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents. I can always call technical support and ask them if I forget something and I'll get the support, but I shouldn't need to do that. Anything can be improved and unfortunately a good switch is not cheap but there's no choice if you need a special router.

Cost-effective protocol support and a straightforward setup with room for login enhancements
In the network operations center, I manage our client's bandwidth. We connect with our clients through BGP and OSPF based on client demands. We also manage routing protocols, policies, internal firewalls, and other details like QE bandwidth, client manage bandwidth management, PoE, PPPoE, and DNS…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The ePoE+ is great."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"The solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The most valuable feature is controlling the bandwidth."
"We make use of a script that will automatically re-route traffic when connections are slow."
"The solution is very flexible; on the MikroTik router, you may have many ports so you can make one or two ports routers and the rest you can have as a switch."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches support every protocol, making them suitable for a wide range of routing policies."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches are very stable; the area that the Wi-Fi inside of it can cover is very large, and the connection inside is stable."
"MikroTik routers are very user-friendly and easy to manage"
"Overall, it is a very good solution with a lot of features."
"I think they have very strong routers because they have multiple processors. I like its easy configuration with applications. For example, configuration with Linux, Iptables, and routing protocols."
 

Cons

"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"While the solution is good for the light commercial market or for the residential market, it's not ideal for the commercial market, for example, a big enterprise or data center."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"The updates as well as the patches could be improved. I believe it would be beneficial to automate the process of router patching to avoid the need for manual checks. With automated patching, as long as the router is connected to the internet, it can automatically perform necessary updates. Failing to patch the router can leave me vulnerable to potential security threats."
"The solution's website isn't that good. When I go to it, I can't find what I'm looking for. However, if I go to a third party's website, I can easily find the information."
"MikroTik Routers and Switches need a firewall policy to secure the network. I also want Mikrotic to add load balancing to the firewall policy, as it's currently hard to do in Mikrotik devices."
"The solution needs to be more robust. In case of power fluctuations, MikroTik routers are more vulnerable to malfunctioning."
"The user interface allows you to do a lot of things, but it is not user-friendly."
"It would be nice if the interface was easier to use."
"My first impressions of the MikroTik router I have are that it is old and slow."
"I don't like the product's performance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"In our last project, we used two hundred units and the price was approximately 500 Shekels ($140 USD)."
"The pricing of the solution is significantly lower than other solutions. There are no additional costs involved."
"The tool's pricing is competitive."
"There is no licensing fee in addition to the hardware, but we do pay an annual fee for support."
"In our company, we are using MikroTik without a license...However, we are planning to buy their services and subscriptions."
"The pricing is very reasonable and is one of the main selling points for MikroTik devices."
"The price-performance is great."
"When I compare the price of this solution to competitors it is priced a little high. There is not a license required for this solution."
