Mikrotek makes sense when you really really really care about having the cheapest possible 10g switch.
AFAIK, there is nothing that competes apples to apples with the UDM in terms of a entry level managed switch / router / WAP offering (or the UDR, which does UDM + Telephony or distributed global management)
- OJFord 4y agoYeah OPN/pfSense make ..sense too I think, haven't used them personally though. But there's some hardware (primarily thinking non-router/firewalls) you couldn't have or wouldn't want them to run on, and so you might buy MikroTik, and then use them for everything so as to have only one config system to learn. I have the SXT for example (4G antenna/modem/router) so if I wanted a managed switch or another router or whatever I'd be more inclined to get a MikroTik one just to simplify my time configuring them, similarly to but even without Ubiquiti's snazzy auto discovery etc.
- xxpor 4y agoI run OPNSense. They're not the same thing. I meant who competes in the WiFi HW space?
