Honestly I’m just using mine as a basic switch at the moment. It was the cheapest 12-port 10GBase-T switch I could find at the time I bought it, but all the extra features in their OS are a nice bonus.
Mikrotik devices can all do basically anything, Router OS is a powerful tool. Learning curve can be pretty intense, but they’re great devices and run a surprising amount of infrastructure.
Off the top of my head I know they’re used by ISPs, law enforcement, EMS, and some military applications as integrated hardware- particularly in the eu.
They’re rock solid reliable, I’ve see the things work for years in an in non climate controlled uninsulated shed. A lightning strike finally took that one out, literally blew the top off of it

Anyway, interesting stuff
I bought a mikrotik router a few months back and honestly love the thing couldn’t be happier.
