"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"Scalability is one of Meraki Dashboard's strongest features. We have thousands of users if we're counting the end-users on our clients' network, but we have hundreds of clients."
"It's a simple, functional solution."
"The solution scales well."
"We find that Meraki has all the features you need to be able to enable complex network protocols for AV equipment. We deal with a streaming product over IP, and Meraki is fantastic at that."
"The ability of the product to perform with simplicity of deployment make it a valuable solution."
"The dashboard itself is very simplified and easy to navigate."
"What I found most valuable in Meraki Dashboard is that it's well-organized, easy to use, and practical."
"Easy to configure with great troubleshooting feature."
"The cost is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"Multi PSK (Pre-shared Key) is a very good feature in the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"There are several valuable features. One of them is Cibas, and another one is Marvis."
"It's really easy to provision and support. Those are its main features."
"The tool's best part is the GUI. It is user-friendly and fast due to AI features. The solution can help you fix things with AI, which is impressive."

"Ability to control the access points by groups."
"I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"For my purposes, I don't need to see any other features added to the Meraki Dashboard. I have no criticisms and I do like the tool. If I had a criticism for it, it would be about the pricing because it could be a little less, but again, for the service that you get, I won't complain about that too much."
"It would be helpful to have the ability to create a floor plan based on an existing PDF or JPEG, which is automatically converted into a usable network map."
"If I am a user and I have a seat on the fourth floor, if I move across the building, the system should be able to track me and should be able to figure out my whereabouts or my position within the building if I'm connected to the wireless. That would make the administrator's life easier in terms of reachability."
"The wait time to speak with a Meraki support engineer is always long, but they get the job done."
"An area for improvement in Meraki Dashboard is licensing management because it's a little complex. Product licensing can be made a little bit easier through license concurrency and a more straightforward approach to applying the license to products and services."
"The MDM, however, is bad. We're using another MDM now because Meraki was so bad."
"We would like to be able to test the health of WAN connections."
"Third-party switches do not necessarily integrate easily with the system and this could be improved to allow for better adaptation."
"There seems to be different versions of standards used in the wireless access points. In the future, it would be helpful if the solution could come up with some kind of universal standard for all devices and all access points."
"The solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."
"It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language."
"There is no local support for Mist in Brazil."
"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."
"Configuration could be improved."
"In future releases, they need to add some router models. Because currently, it supports only SSR and WAN routers. But adding other routers would be good."
"The user experience should be improved. It's not user-friendly."
