Haven't seen managed switch/router configuration adjustment like this in any appliance for this kind of money
Mikrotik delivers a flexible, high performing, reliable router/firewall/managed switch/2GHz access point with 24 Gigabit ethernet interfaces and an SFP fibre input that if all were purchased in combination or individually in other offerings would cost at least 5 times as much.
Excellent 24 port managed switch and the WiFi is great.
On the other hand, if you need / want a really great managed switch, these are a great bargain and at this time can't be beat

My rule is now changed, as on MikroTik devices, most open source products do not substantially improve upon RouterOS capability (though it may be easier to have a well understood interface)
The web interface is straightforward but if you don't have a solid understanding of Layer2/Layer3, VLANs, iptables, NAT and routing you will be overwhelmed with all the options

(MikroTik has been accused by some of being in violation of GNU, as RouterOS source code and modified Linux source code does not seem available, easily available or complete)

Is is a well evolved, feature rich product which presents a well honed and integrated network management solution to users
RouterOS is not as open as other firmwares, but is very well documented, it has a well honed interface, and seems to bundle more features than most open source packages

RouterOS is the trademarked Linux based firmware which is found inside almost all MikroTik smart devices
If you wanted a lot of ethernet ports, and a basic router, and didn't change much but the default password, it is possible this is a good device for a typical home user
But as long as you know what you are doing, this is a great device
