Easy to use MDM solution

  • September 01, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Detailed set up instructions, great support, compatible with most used devices, great UI layout, easy to use and understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
Configuring device policies can be confusing depending on the supported OS. Not all features are compatible with all OSes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows for easy deployment of an MDM solution for small to medium businesses. Allows companies an easy way to protect their data on BYOD devices as well as distribute corporate applications.

The devices are well priced and very powerful with an easy to use interface

  • September 01, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The granular control that it provides over settings in the firewall menu help us a lot in controlling what applications people can and cannot use in the office network environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
The switches are very expensive, defeats the whole purpose of it being an accessible and affordable platform for small and medium businesses. If the business was big, we would move on to Cisco switches. So Meraki is the middle ground for us. We would like some better pricing options with some of the hardware.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The m ain network manageability issues that we were facing with cheaper Ubiquiti hardware have been solved by Meraki's MX85 at a little bit higher price but for much better service. We are still in the market for some managed switches though.

What do you dislike about the product?
We dislike not being able to assign a public ip address to a VLAN which we used to be able to do with our old hardware.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cisco Meraki is helping us secure our multiple networks and being able to control limits and restrictions on certain networks so users only have the resources that they need and no access to others they dont need.

We utilize Meraki for two major key functions, WFH with SD-WAN & Security. It has been a true breeze to configure devices, setup for users, and overall total managment.

The cost is very high and continueing to climb. Its a great newer product but the skyrocketing proces are making it hard to conintue to use.

We started to solve our need for an MDM as well as out new WFH force. We have been able to esily manage devices such and company phones, laptops,and ipads.

    Non-Profit Organization Management

Perfect System for Remote Management

  • April 05, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to see a snapshot of all my locations and their associated networks, and then the ability to dive deep into the details of each. The analytics are an added bonus and easy to set up. Switching between locations is easy and ensures you're working in the right network.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup was a little complicated but there are extensive help guides and the internal wizard helps with completing the process. The location hierarchy is limited and I would have liked to see something more robust in terms of zones and groups.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm remotely managing two networks since we recently went to two locations. I've connected the manager to DNA Spaces for more advanced analytics which provide great insight into both employees and visitors.

Scalable cloud managed networking.

  • February 05, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Simple management, easy for less experienced/trained admins to help. (Don't take that to mean you don't need to know what you're doing!) Still very capable and, in many ways, much easier to deploy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Reliance on cloud/internet for management is a huge downside. It's manageable, but when there's an outage, the last thing I want to do is be unable to access management dashboards for hardware.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote deployment. Remote management is possible via multiple methods traditionally, but this makes it easier than ever.
It's also simplified management at remote locations.
