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

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"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."
"The more you learn is the more you realize how valuable MikroTik devices are."
"The setup is easy."
"The radius and wireless features are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"It's pretty stable."
"Everything just works easy and fine."
"The most valuable feature is controlling the bandwidth."
"The product is simple to use."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"I don't like the product's performance."
"The interface for management could be improved."
"MikroTik does not have a wireless solution. If they created a high-performance wireless solution we would deploy it in our infrastructure."
"The only issue is with the software."
"The solution does suffer from freezing and corruption issues."
"The solution needs to be more robust. In case of power fluctuations, MikroTik routers are more vulnerable to malfunctioning."
"A central management platform would be great."
"There are a lot of issues regarding the power supply."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"It's definitely worth the investment."
"MikroTik's equipment is very cheap compared to Cisco and Huawei."
"It's reasonably priced. It's not the most cheap solution, but also, it's not the most expensive one."
"Pricing is not an issue."
"When you buy a license, it is for life and you don't need to buy another one every year."
"The price is affordable."
"This product is a one-time purchase."
"There is a lifetime subscription already embedded when you buy the product."
