Meraki experiencie

  • December 13, 2018

What do you like best about the product?
Cisco Meraki allows you to convert the WiFi connection into an income channel by offering your customers a permanent connection with the services they are loyal to.
Manage the entire network from a single control panel, Control users, applications and devices, There is no driver hardware or administration software to install or maintain. Secure security infrastructure (compatible with PCI and HIPAA), scalable from small sites to deployments of millions of users
What do you dislike about the product?
For the use that I have had with this technology, I have not found any disadvantage, on the contrary it is very reliable and very easy to use, an easy dashboard to program and configure, maybe the only one is that everything is cloud, and occupies the internet to be configured, wait for it to load the configuration on the internet and replicate it to the desktop.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
the benefits are short term, very good technology, all your configurations are in the cloud, that's a bit slow depending on your internet output, one more detail is the cost of the licenses that have to be paid annually, but in use and feasibility with the user is perfect. the network has no or very little intermittency. It's almost perfect
Recommendations to others considering the product:
lo recomiendo 100% ya que la tecnologia cisco meraki es muy facil de usar, la tecnologia cuesta pero tiene un beneficio costo produccion y los usuarios ya no se quejaran de la lentitud o que el sistema se venga abajo.

What do you like best about the product?
The Meraki Go units themselves are small and unobtrusive, about the size of a tablet. They can attach directly onto the wall or ceiling. Look sleek and clean. Very easy set-up and implementation.

Easy to use and understand.

Nothing! Product had strong ease of use and as long as it functions- we'll keep using it to support our infrastructure needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Network is strong and strong support features. Price is good for SMB.

What do you like best about the product?
It's extremely easy to manage my network of ever changing devices. The meraki access point even offers rogue access point elimination which is a godsend in the secure environment I maintain.
What do you dislike about the product?
The upfront cost to buildout a full meraki deployment is prohibitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Great hardware that is easy to deploy and manage, not impressed with business practices.

  • December 11, 2018

What do you like best about the product?
Networking has gotten a lot easier with Meraki, I've forgotten a lot of my CCNA skills because Meraki makes it so easy. Manage or troubleshoot your network from anywhere. User interface is friendly and makes it easy to get things done. Migration of devices is seamless. VPN setup takes seconds.
What do you dislike about the product?
MX appliances are missing some features, they provide DHCP but then don't provide DNS. DNS is fairly standard on perimeter devices and can't think of any competitor that doesn't have it. Support is sub-par and often does not provide you with solutions. The client VPN should have a software client. Have to rely on native OS vpn which for Windows has been buggy and causes problems.

Sales team is unresponsive when you need something. Promised hardware for learning about and promoting the product but then you do not get hardware.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With many work from home employees and remote office Meraki makes it super simple to keep everyone connected.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check out Ubiquiti UniFi
Most of the features at a better price and without the licensing

Meraki is Cisco’s best side investment!!

  • December 06, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Meraki dashboard is an industry leader!! They are very willing to support home local networks through trial gear which will get you talking to your friends and co-workers. They stand behind their products and rely on grassroots marketing and it works. Meraki is simple to use and really take to heart the plug and play mindset to there products without limiting you on capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Meraki does have some top end limitations when you look at the enterprise level. They mainly target small business or specific use case deployments. Their gear is top of the line and reliable, but I would not deploy the entire campus around them as our backbone. There are some limitations in analytics and throughput but you really need to understand your deployment's scale to understand is Meraki is right for you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used Meraki to solve our Wireless and Physical Camera Security problems. We wanted to have a central dashboard for all our gear. So now we are able to run not only the switches, firewall but have added wireless and camera's to the mix. Not only can we manage this from a central dashboard, but you can do it from your phone too! We realized from this the ease of use is really the key to having a smooth network flow.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try this product first, even at home!!! Meraki can likely support your needs 8/10 times at a cost much less. The quality is that you would expect from a Cisco Product.

Meraki MDM for iOS

  • November 14, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of management. We are able to enroll and deploy new iOS devices in minutes with Meraki's software.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support is typically slow to respond, and most of the time I find that I have to submit a feature request.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Limited staff. My goal is to do more with less, thus saving our institution and taxpayers money. I have found this product allows me to do just that.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get setup with Apple to purchase VPP licensing before starting. That's the worst part of MDM for iOS.
