We are a big Cisco user, but we decided to try the MikroTik CCR1036-12G-4S-EM routers and are really impressed with them.
They are knocking spots off the cisco kit in terms of performance and features.
We have written a script that you can use for BGP to get the neighbor information out in the same way as you can do on the Cisco kit.

We have also written some graphs for Cacti so you can monitor the CPU, BGP Routes an Memory on the devices.

We are really impressed with the MikroTik equipment and would recommend it to anyone who is thinking of buying Cisco. It is a pity they don’t do redundant power supply models yet, but I hope they will come.
As far as support has told us they are working on the Multi-Core support for various processes like BGP, OSPF and SNMP so the equipment can make use of the 36 core processor that the CCR1036 has in them. Cisco processors have been quite weak and struggle when you get a few BGP peers flapping, but so far the MikroTik routers we are using have been really good and they are great value for money.
We still use Cisco in our core, but that is mainly because the big chassis switches and routers have enough ports for our requirements.
Kind regards,
