It could easily be that Mtik is taken into account for non mission critical parts of the infrastructure, but as not the right partner for your crown jewels. If you look at Mtik, you may find some limitations on which Mtik could potentially grow in future. Why would you spend money on something outdated already tomorrow. If this timeline does not exist, the hardware investment is on a big question. This investment you want to do on a company that has a good future and feature oriented timeline. At the same time, hardware is an investment.

Usually this is a costly supplier capability and you can find a good portion of this in the hardware and license cost. Said that, you have to see if your future hardware supplier has a track record and offers the right service and is capable of immediately jumping on a problem. Once your service becomes shaky, you have lost your reputation and you have close to no chance to get back in business. I can imagine what situation you are in and why it is so hard to come up with usable arguments.ĭepending on your customer you have to be aware that when setting up a whole new infrastructure, the availability is key. Normis you mentioned Google office, spaceX - but it is just one or few devices in some other brand backbone network! But is there some quite big network which is based on Mikrotik what you can think of? that why i need some other opinion to fight back. (but in small scale up to ~80devices and maybe the security level was not my first priority), but now i accepted to run one city council IT department (In Latvia ~20k inhabitants) and our partners are very skeptic. I don't, my partner companies think that! As i mentioned i LOVE MT and previously work only with your products since 2007. Even Google offices use MikroTik CCR devices for their office networks. Just think about the fact, that MikroTik is one of the largest companies in Latvia and is exporting the high end models to nearly all countries in the world. I don't know why you think that, maybe you had bad experience with a specific company that is very stuck in the past. Why so many IT companies are not even advising to think about MK Timely support means that you have the financial resources to replace equipment on demand to maintain UP-TIME etc.

So IF YOU can provide that timely support plus provide the functional capability needed using MikroTik + in that government bureaucracy YOU will win on PRICE. MikroTik can compete on certain functionality and PRICE but NOT on SUPPORT.


Timely SUPPORT.įrom a Features/Capability and SUPPORT Perspective = MikroTik cannot compete in the league of HP ARUBA, Ruckus, FortiNet, PaloAlto, CISCO, JUNIPER or Ubquiti. One argument i agree - mikrotik dont have DPI what is nice on gateway.įor any government bureaucracy and especially in the IT world the number one concern is Timely SUPPORT. I ask why - Mikrotik is no safe, not stable, hardware is no qualitative, updates are bugy. Companies who want take part of it - all say: Mikrotik is not an option - need to go with poducts form HP ARUBA, Ruckus, FortiNet, PaloAlto, CISCO, JUNIPER - these are INDUSTRY STANDARTS!
