I agree with your last statement there, be brand agnostic, right tool 
for the right job, Mikrotik is an excellent CPE choice and in certain 
cases edge and core devices.

Use devices to their strengths, I'll choose Cisco, Juniper, HPE/Aruba or 
Mikrotik where required, ultimately it comes down to what fits your 
budget and what you're happy to support.

I will also state that I am not a fan of UBNT in anything other than 
edge wireless where the project meets the requirements for the task, I 
simply do not have the confidence in their routing platform.

Kind Regards,

Jim.
