What Mikrotik did right is that if you know the GUI then you probably know the CLI. I.E.: Clicking IP -> Firewall -> NAT is the same as typing "/ip firewall nat"

I love a CLI, _as a backup_ for those times that I only have text access. But give me a GUI. My favorite is still the Mikrotik custom gui but there has to be a web one as well.

Ha, yea.  I wrestled a Grizzly Bear once, 15-20 seconds late it was
all over so this doesn’t scare me J.  With the amount of equipment we
have to work with, it’s impossible to be a command line expert in
everything.  GUI’s are far more universal.  Had to put up a Sub-10
80GHz radio yesterday.  5 minutes through the GUI, caught up.
Dragonwave, 2 support calls, and 2 guys for 4 hours to get our first
link up.  Guess which one will never get a P.O. from our company in
the future.

We just put some up and weren’t impressed. When you call tech support 
and they make you feel like a second class tech because you don’t use
command line entries instead of the GUI, that’s pretty much the end of our relationship with that company going forward. GUI’s are important 
to reducing training and being able to have more techs handle basic
support which in turn reduces costs and improves support times.  How
that message hasn’t gotten through to some companies is beyond me.

Dragonwave was always higher priced but I could never figure out the
advantages.

    Wow. I wonder how that happened?



    Used to be one of the forefront in that market.



    Just couldn’t keep pace with the industry?



    I bet that happens to Ceragon in the next year or two.
