Overall Satisfaction with MikroTik Routers and Switches

our company is one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the country and we have a good number of remote sites which connect via internet links to our head office. we have multiple internet links going to multiple ISPs. we needed to deploy auto failover between two internet links going to a single ISP. To achieve this we have deployed MikroTik router at our edge where it is acting as our gateway and also running BGP with ISP for auto link failover.

Cisco Routers are one of the best in the market, however they are also very expensive and not suitable for a small deployment or any deployment which requires just a couple of routers. MikroTik on the other hand are less expensive and provides many features that you require for a small scale deployment. they fit in with the budget and do what you need them to.

MikroTik routers and switches are a reliable low cost products. due to their low cost they are very well suited for small businesses and medium businesses. In some cases even large enterprises are using these products because they provide lots of features at very low cost. However they are not suited to handle large amounts of traffic like at ISP core level.
