"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"It has improved my organization in the way that we've got a much better wireless coverage than we had before, and secondly, we have the visibility of all the users."
"Meraki Dashboard centralizes control of all our equipment into one cloud-based console, so we can manage it from anywhere. We can resolve problems remotely outside of business hours because it is on the cloud. You can use the dashboard to change security settings or configure routers and switches."
"The solution scales well."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to use and technically very complete. I can configure, do advanced troubleshooting in the dashboard, and reboot access points remotely."
"We've been spending a lot less time on tickets and deployments, so we have more time to do other things."
"What I love most about the Meraki Dashboard are its user-friendly features."
"We have found the client dashboard to be very simple to use, especially in our Meraki environment."
"Meraki dashboard deserves an Oscar."
"The solution has great workflow and server modules."
"It gives you remote control and has a mobile app."

"Meraki Dashboard could improve the user interface by making it more user-friendly. The configuring can at times be difficult."
"It would be nicer if the dashboard was lighter."
"Meraki lacks their own software for connecting to the VPN which creates some issues."
"I would like to see an alert event feature to monitor what users are downloading and how to block some applications."
"For instance, you should be able to see if something has been blocked by a firewall rule by looking at a live log of traffic moving through the device. It helps you troubleshoot issues and understand if your rules are working. You need to ensure the firewall is blocking the right things. That's unavailable in the Meraki Dashboard. You have to send the logs to a log server. We use SolarWinds locally, but it's not natively built into Meraki. We're also using Cisco ISA and another tool called Smoothwall."
