Do WebFig and Winbox have the same menu?

Table of contents

WebFig and Winbox are two different configuration interfaces for MikroTik devices, and although they offer similar functionality, there are some differences in the way they present menus and options to users.

  1. Winbox: It is a GUI-based configuration application that runs on Windows systems (although it can be used on other operating systems through emulators). Winbox offers a rich and dynamic user experience, with windows that can be moved and arranged however the user desires. You have full access to all settings and features of the MikroTik router.
  2. WebFig: It is a web interface that allows access to the MikroTik device settings through a web browser. WebFig is similar to Winbox in terms of menu structure and available options, but its interface is less flexible in terms of customizing window layouts and displaying multiple windows simultaneously.

Similarities:

  • Both WebFig and Winbox allow users to access most, if not all, of the settings available in RouterOS.
  • The menu structure on both interfaces is quite similar, organized into categories and subcategories that reflect the device's capabilities and settings.

Differences:

  • User interface: Winbox has a richer and more dynamic interface that is more like a desktop application, while WebFig is limited by typical web application features.
  • Accessibility: Winbox requires the software to be downloaded and run, while WebFig only needs a web browser to access.
  • Customization: Winbox allows more customization in window layout and size.
  • Performance: Winbox can be faster in response and handling, especially on slow networks, since it does not depend on the loading speed of a web page like WebFig.

In short, although WebFig and Winbox have very similar menus and offer access to the same configuration functions, the user experience and interface vary between the two tools. Winbox generally provides a richer, more desktop-like experience, while WebFig offers the convenience of access from any device with a web browser.
