RouterOS advantages

Thu Nov 06, 2008 10:29 am

Hello to all!

I want to ask all guys: what is the real advantages of RouterOS over other known solutions, based on
win,*nix and hardware?
It will be very helpful if it comes in the list of advantages... The point is that I have to explain people why
we need RouterOS not only in popular manner :shock:

Thanks in advance,
Konstantin.

it's not possible co compare to ALL solutions simultaneously, and I think nobody wants to compare to some concrete solutions - maybe you do not need it =)

Compare to 'roll your own' solutions:

Very good wireless drivers, excellent support for the Atheros chipsets.
A decent polling MAC in Nstreme which is getting steadily better for PtMP solutions, VERY good performance on PtP links
Huge user community for peer support of router features
Good free tech support
Modest price
Very broad line of high performance, low cost hardware
Support for many X86 platforms
Excellent Windows GUI
Decent Web GUI
Terrific reporting and admin tools
Excellent network manangement tool in The Dude

The list goes on, but that is a small piece...
