Cisco Meraki has lots of product offerings. The best feature is the centralized web management.
What do you like best about the product?
Web/cloud management is easy to use and everything is in one location for all your Meraki devices. Devices are rock solid.
What do you dislike about the product?
This solution is expensive. Additionally, Meraki VPN solution is poor if you need to have PCI compliance. Also, the SSO with Azure is oneway. It's a joke. The camera is not real-time, also not good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Firewall, POE Switch, Wifi

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
easy to use SDWAN
Very simple, yet lacks granularity still
What do you like best about the product?
Anyone can figure out the simplistic interface and accomplish what they need
What do you dislike about the product?
lacks granularity that real pros thirst for. I want a feature set that allows me multiple methods to accomplish a task, meraki cant do so.
Feature set is no different than a mid 2000s ngfw has.
no independent security reviews either and in my pro opinion its because it doesnt have ssl inspection which if it did would bolster the IPS/AV services, and without is so terrible its not worth reviewing.
Bottom line if your a smaller SMB this is a solid option just be sure to do ssl inspection through another service even as simple as cisco umbrella DNS has ssl inspection.
beta beta beta everything runs beta that gets annoying, you cant be deploying products that require a feature but is in beta.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
simplifying networks so much that it decreases labor costs and thus saves smaller customers money they can invest elsewhere.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
make sure you dont soley rely on meraki's UTM services and augment it with other products. Umbrella has nice integrations and also does SSL inspection for instance.
Cloud controlled, centrally managed network solution including Wi-Fi, security and routing
What do you like best about the product?
Easy management as we can access the dashboard anywhere anytime. Single Dashboard provides control over the products of Wireless APs, Firewalls, Security Cameras & Switches. Meraki dispatches new features and regular updates to fix the various bugs/vulnerabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Troubleshooting an issue is not so easy as debug commands are not visible for the client. Meraki TAC needs to improve the service as they are not helpful in troubleshooting some issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We manage more than 300 access points placed across the country from a single dashboard. 802.1x authentication and Guest Wifi solution have been implemented. Managing Firewalls and applying rules can be done easily.
Cisco Meraki is one of the greatest WLAN products on the market!
What do you like best about the product?
Cisco Meraki has a very intuitive interface. It's broken in down into sections and every section has 'Monitoring' and 'Configure' settings. Meraki is alerting whenever there's a problem in the network and is often suggesting very useful resolution methods. It's getting insight from millions of Cisco TAC cases and utilizes AI to analyze issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing that I'm missing in Meraki is the ability to download a specific device configuration and back it up. You can't create a snapshot of the network and just roll back the state from some time in the past.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are currently migrating to Cisco Meraki and replacing the hardware equipment in 7 offices across the world. Cisco Meraki offers a highly available network and very reliable Site-to-site VPN with our AWS infrastructure. The option to configure the network via a simple cloud dashboard and API makes it very easy for administration.
