A next-generation firewall (NGFW) is a network security device that provides capabilities beyond a traditional, stateful firewall. While a traditional firewall typically provides stateful inspection of incoming and outgoing network traffic, a next-generation firewall includes additional features like application awareness and control, integrated intrusion prevention, and cloud-delivered threat intelligence.
So how do i like see statictics of wwhere traffic is comming from? what countries? locations? what IPs are making most requests etc?MikroTik’s firewall is not next gen and I do not believe that MikroTik want to be in that arena. Next gen firewalls work very comfortably in layer 7 very close to wire speed … they are in a class of their own.
NGFWs are able to block malware from entering a network, something that traditional firewalls would never be able to achieve. They are better equipped to address Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs).

A MikroTik Router can log your traffic and send those logs to a syslog server that has reporting capabilities based on the criteria you select by using the Log Analyzer ... that's how .. check out SolarWinds group of products

Those are features am looking for not virus scanning or the other NGFW features
Just want modern traffic reporting
For the price of solarwind log analyzer, i might as well pay for fortigate/sophos licensing to get full NGFW featuresA MikroTik Router can log your traffic and send those logs to a syslog server that has reporting capabilities based on the criteria you select by using the Log Analyzer ... that's how .. check out SolarWinds group of products

for my use-case, i don't need crazy performance, i only need to connect like a few servers for a 12U colocationMikroTik’s firewall is not next gen and I do not believe that MikroTik want to be in that arena.

most NGFW take a hit from 5x to 20x in throughput when using full threat protection
most NGFW only reach wire speed when performing standard-basic firewall
My personal preference in NGFW is Juniper or Untangle software running in a custom black box ... but there are lots of open source log analyzers that do not cost money but do cost lots of time learning how toFor the price of solarwind log analyzer, i might as well pay for fortigate/sophos licensing to get full NGFW features

Possibly? What are you talking about
Suggest that when mixed in with posts from posters that know and deal with all ranges of products, your half baked maybe statement really has no helpful input into the discussion.If we compare Mikrotik with Ubiqity Unifi, then Unifi, for example, uses "Policy based firewall", which is easier to configure and possibly even more secure. It could be?
Yeh I have seen that Phishy homepage too.@Woland
NGFW was coined by Gartner 2003 … since then many FW vendors adopted that acronym..
MikroTik cannot be classified as NGFW in any way shap or form because it does not posses any of the attributes the industry ascribes to NGFW.
While a traditional firewall like that found in Tik Routers —- that typically provides stateful inspection of incoming and outgoing network traffic —- >>> a next-generation firewall includes additional features like application awareness and control, integrated intrusion prevention, and cloud-delivered threat intelligence.
That it, that all …. End of story
but you may find a hundred slightly different definitions across the net. I agree: the MTs are not NGFWs by any definition.Wow .... Gartner coined ...NGFW was coined by Gartner 2003 … since then many FW vendors adopted that acronym..…. End of story
