"The main selling point for me was the pricing. Moreover, the performance is good. I haven't had any issues so far."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and configuration. It has a cloud-based configuration that makes it easy."
"The most valuable features of Meraki MS Switches are simple deployment and administration. You can have all your switches in one place and manage them."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"It offers a compelling solution due to its cloud management capabilities and strong security features."
"Meraki MS Switches are amazing. Whoever built it is a genius. I like that it's a plug-and-play solution."
"The technical support is quite good."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to orchestrate the network from the cloud."
"We found the initial setup to be easy."
"They need to enhance stability."
"They need to have some more high-end switches."
"This solution is not good for distribution at the core."
"We have issues with the stability."
"It should be more stable, and it should have good integration with the cloud. It should support configuration, supervision, and control through the cloud."
"I'd like to see a central management system included as part of their license, not as a separate purchase. Currently, we have to manage switches independently. A central portal for managing all switches and providing visibility would be great."
"The solution needs to improve layer 2 switches."
"It could be easier to scale on managed devices."
"At times, we didn't know whether the switch was operating or not so we have to take the console and we have to do some troubleshooting."
"The pain point for our customers is the pricing and it should be reduced to make it more competitive."
"It could be easier to use and easier to implement."
"In my opinion, there's room for improvement cost-wise. With Meraki's licensing terms, you're required to pay an annual licensing fee, which can be for a one-year license or perhaps a five-year license. But if you analyze the costs involved, there are huge expenses incurred as far as the licensing is concerned."
"Their subscription model could be better. Some of our customers prefer a one-time payment to a monthly or yearly subscription model, so they don't buy the product. Technical support could also be better."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved."
"Meraki MS switches are great for pretty much all SMB networks and most enterprise networks. However, there are some higher-end functions that larger enterprise networks with full access, distribution, and core switch stack may find limiting."
"The licensing model needs to be improved."
