I've seen that video before. From what I observed, they've put a lot of effort into managing their network. I'm not implying Anthony is problematic. For a company of that size and one that struggles without their network operating at full capacity all the time, it would be beneficial to have someone deeply familiar with the hardware they use. They should consider exploring Mikrotik's products. As a networking student, I've worked with Mikrotik and would suggest it over other brands. For instance, Ubiquity is decent in terms of design but lacks functionality. Cisco, on the other hand, offers high-quality hardware, though its software is quite poor. The routing, VLANs, and packet handling are solid, but the configuration is extremely difficult. I’d recommend Mikrotik for their range—from entry-level to advanced enterprise solutions—and their Sw versions are impressively well-built. RouterOS, their interface, is very user-friendly, especially with Winbox, which simplifies configuration. PfSense is decent, but its setup is often confusing and not intuitive. This particular CCR1072 model I’m using in my school lab is powerful and reliable.

They generally fall behind in hardware compared to other sectors, while software remains their specialty. Mikrotik is impressive, but many of these discussions stem from limited experience.

My frustration in the LLT official area...They should avoid miktotik and focus on Fortinet. Cisco and Mikrotik are our primary choices, but with Anythony's limited networking skills, Mikrotik is the last vendor I’d suggest. Mikrotik offers strong capabilities—you can set up nearly any feature or hardware setting—but it demands solid networking expertise and a significant time investment. They’re struggling with VLANs; VLANing is essentially the biggest pain point for them. As someone who’s worked on the subject, I spent two weeks trying to test and learn how Mikrotik handles them properly. For career growth and exploring different hardware, Cisco CLI remains the most intuitive option. Simple and straightforward. Mikrotik can feel confusing at times; RouterOS’s GUI or WinBox works well for many tasks, but almost any Layer 2 or 3 protocol requires using the CLI.
