What can Microsoft TMG do that MikroTik can't?

Question

Mikrotik

What is better to use in a network for 70 users as a gateway? Both Mikrotik and TMG are able to filter traffic, have the functions of a VPN server, and a proxy server

Answer 1

Mikrotik is first of all a router, the proxy server functionality is also there, but rather meager. And TMG is exactly a proxy + firewall, a server solution, with integration into AD, reports, etc., focused specifically on access control and security.
Only now you remembered about TMG a bit late.

"September 9, 2012 Microsoft announced that Forefront TMG will no longer be developed further. Mainstream support will end after April 14, 2015, and extended support will end on April 14, 2020. The product will not be available for purchase after December 1, 2012[2]. As of today only available as part of Microsoft OEM Partner Hardware Solutions."

Answer 4

A MikroTik representative told Vedomosti that a vulnerability had previously been discovered in their own RouterOS operating system, but it was fixed in 2018.
“Many devices still run on old software, but it is difficult to warn every user on the planet about this,” noted MikroTik representative.

You need to update on time. Although, of course, there is a jamb behind the Latvians, they could organize the installation of critical updates automatically or somehow warn users.
