Cisco Meraki vMX

The typical use cases for this solution are in the pharma and education sectors.

My biggest customer experience is with Torrent Pharma, where I think there are 700 access points and 400 to 500 switches, an L2, L3 combination.

I have used Cisco Meraki vMX  dashboard's orchestration feature with this product.

The Meraki dashboard helps manage our network effectively because it is quite easy; we manage ourselves very well.

Performance-wise, there is no problem with Cisco Meraki vMX 's integrated analytics for network performance, as my 70 to 80 customers use Cisco only. We do business with semi-enterprise customers, and there is no competition against Cisco except for the wireless solutions from Aruba. We find it easy to promote Cisco Meraki vMX because the centralized dashboard is there for management, and the customers accept it without any problem. From a sales point of view, it is easy to integrate, and nowadays, the 93 is also part of the Meraki desktop.

We have been working with Cisco since 1999, almost 25 years.

On a scale from one to 10, I would rate the stability of this solution as eight or nine.

On a scale from one to 10, I would rate its scalability as eight.

Support from Cisco for Cisco Meraki vMX is available online; we can open cases on the Cisco website, and they provide the required help on the spot, including assistance with installation on-site.

I would rate Cisco support as 99% good; no one can beat Cisco support, and that is 100% sure.

Positive

In comparison with Aruba, I find Aruba to be far better in terms of deployment, ClearPass , and everything, which is all very easy.

We are not facing any problems, so it is not difficult to deploy Cisco Meraki vMX.

Usually, six people take part in the installation of this solution.

It depends on the customer and our manpower; we spend hardly a day or two days, maximum two days, for the general installation of Cisco Meraki vMX, depending on the size of the project and customer availability of the site.

We are still implementing Cisco Meraki vMX.

There is a financial benefit for using Cisco Meraki vMX in the long run, especially in financial institutions.

It is financially beneficial for the organization, and it helps people follow compliance easily.

We are working with Cisco, Meraki, and Juniper, doing the same thing. We have been in this field for over 30 years. We are a Cisco partner.

We are not working with Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points , because Juniper is a part of HP Aruba. We are currently working on the firewall and switching. We mostly work with Cisco.

I am familiar with solutions such as Cisco Meraki vMX and Cisco Meraki MR Wireless . Cisco Meraki vMX was recently launched, so we have just started working with it. Cisco Meraki vMX is good for us, with no complexity or integrated problems.

One customer is using VPN, but that is a different implementation; we do not have customers regularly using the VPN on Cisco Meraki vMX implemented by our team.

We use stacking, whether virtual or physical stacking, and there is no problem with the MX's standby capability. End-to-end encryption influences organization security through MACsec. The kind of encryption used is MACsec within the network, and across the network, they use IPsec, SSL, or IPsec.

My final rating for Cisco Meraki vMX is nine out of ten.

We are training companies and recommend Cisco Meraki vMX  for every company doing cloud solutions and using Meraki in their infrastructure.

In the past, it was mainly for smaller companies, but now we implement it with bigger companies for their smaller locations.

The administration was becoming easier.

We primarily deal with the SD-WAN feature.

Cisco Meraki vMX  offers sufficient features for most customers. It is very easy to handle and proves very efficient.

The main advantages are the visibility it provides and the ease of administration.

We are very happy with the solution. It is easy to manage and administrate.

It is not the strongest security solution, so if you want to have next-generation firewall features, you always need an additional component.

2018

The solution can be implemented successfully. We are using this product ourselves and would recommend it to others.

The interface is excellent, with no other competitor doing it better.

The pricing is affordable and reasonable.

We serve as both a customer and partner.

This review rates Cisco Meraki vMX as 10 out of 10.
