"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."
"You can put all of your work on there, they'll send you an email or send you a text. That functionality as a network engineer is the one I like the most. I do like the fact that we can schedule reports. That works too because that's a lot fewer spreadsheets that I have to create."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."
"ManageEngine OpManager is user-friendly and easy to use. Additionally, useful for basic monitoring."

"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."
"We find the networking aspect of this solution to be the most valuable."
"Meraki Dashboard does not require a lot of maintenance. Cisco tells communicates through the Meraki Dashboard web client, it will automatically send updates to the equipment. They will send you an email on what day the updates will take place. If you want to proceed, you can click on accept, or you can decline them and schedule the updates at another time."
"The most valuable feature is their support, they get better every day."
"There is no need to swap the hardware at all the locations, and importing the APs into the Dashboard was a simple and quick process."
"It is a reliable product. It provides a lot of information that is easy to read."
"What I found most valuable in the Meraki Dashboard is straight monitoring of the different devices, as well as the ability to easily set up VPNs, for example, both Meraki client VPNs and non-Meraki VPNs for different organizations that work with my company. I also like that the tool is a really good firewall."
"Some of the features I have found valuable are the ease of access, simple configuration, and monitoring."
"The solution scales well."

"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."
"The main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance."
"There should be an option to get mobile notifications or SMS mirror notifications for critical issues. That way, when we don't have access to email, we can still receive notifications via our phones."
"Needs an OVA, or more support for virtual deployments. Building a virtual instance of OpManager and OpManager Probe was a bit difficult because there was no OVA available."
"It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated."
"There needs to be improvements to make the solution capable of supporting more devices, and it would be good to see an option for automatic deployment."
"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."
"The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive. I know that they just upgraded the product to make it a little bit easier to use, but compared to some of the other platforms, it is not easy to configure it, set it up, and get it running. However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"It's a very complex system. Customers have told me that sometimes there are lots of advanced features that are available and that you can change in the dashboard, but sometimes it's very hard to know what they are."
"One area that could use improvement in the Meraki Dashboard is user-friendliness when navigating to port configurations."
"Meraki Dashboard's pricing could be improved."
"The downside to the simplicity is that you can't get as granular as you could with the Cisco APs."
"They could offer API functionality for Meraki Dashboard. It will help us develop software immediately using available solutions."
"Lacks an alert notification when there are IP or DNS issues."
"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."
