Cisco Meraki Pros and Cons

Easy implementation and managing it by login into Meraki console. Specially liked the Meraki VPN. All meraki's can communicate to each other without any configuration and it works flawlessly. Client handling and policy making is great and easy. The over all experience after using MX appliances for few months I can say its a good product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Client VPN is not working upto the mark, specially the AD integration is quite difficult for authenticating VPN users. MX appliances does not support BGP which is much needed functionality of firewall for routing purpose. Ordered the product twice for 2 countries and both time the delivery was delayed.

Two things: one, it is easy to administer from anywhere (cloud based elements) and, two, the support is phenomenal: it reminds me of WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS support (nothing ever better). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much. You can't identify remotely a machine connected to a port on their MX (main, router/security/firewall device), though you can on their MS (switch). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price is kinda steep, you have to pay licensing - however the support you get is the best in the industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Do you remember the time when you need a console cable to connect to communicate with your network equipment, just to make a small configuration in a confined, lonely and cold place?

Well, that time it's over, using SD-Wan Meraki you can do it from the comfort of your home... actually, now you can have full access to your network anytime and anywhere.

A low learning curvature that will allow you to do wonderful things in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In critical situations a quick change in the network would bring back the calm to your company, but one of the prices you must pay to be able to solve the incidents from home, it is the time takes to apply a change, the replication time for obvious reasons it's slower than a computer plugged to the the device but the advantage of update your network anywhere worth it, this does not use to happen very often but sometimes happen when less is needed.

The cost of hardware and cloud licenses is somewhat prohibitive. This is understandable however, given the level of service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The accessibility and the insight that Meraki gives me for my network. It does not matter where I am at I can view my network and it's operations. With Meraki you can un-box and have your network up and going in minutes, that is with very little training too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like a dash board for a NOC display. I think the current users get logged out after a few minutes. Other than I don't have any other dislikes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
