Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"It can analyze the traffic that it is picking up from what may be a rogue access point, and it is able to identify those and send relevant notifications."
"It's a scalable solution."
"Easy to configure with great troubleshooting feature."
"The solution scales well."
"It is very stable and we have been using it for five years."
"We've been spending a lot less time on tickets and deployments, so we have more time to do other things."
"It's really user-friendly."
"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."
"I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"The Marvis feature of Mist AI, an artificial intelligence tool, is very useful."
"The most useful aspect of Mist AI and Cloud is automation capabilities."
"There are several valuable features. One of them is Cibas, and another one is Marvis."
"Regarding features, the solution seems to be very intuitive."
"AI-driven automation helps implement the solution quickly."
"The most valuable aspect is that they operate on small microservices, offering numerous open APIs that enhance the value of our Wi-Fi network. This flexibility allows us to optimize various aspects such as workforce planning and occupancy management. The platform is highly open in the market, providing robust APIs for seamless integration with other tools. Currently, we leverage these capabilities at a building site, incorporating IoT sensors to gather data. The collected data is stored in a centralized location, and we plan to use AI for analysis. This analysis will include insights on peak activity times, humidity levels, temperature variations, and other relevant metrics within the building."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Lacks an alert notification when there are IP or DNS issues."
"Not a lot of training is available."
"Third-party switches do not necessarily integrate easily with the system and this could be improved to allow for better adaptation."
"You can't really clone or replicate a device, that sort of feature would be useful. You can clone the site but you cannot clone the device."
"Something that needs to be improved, is the fact that you if you don't renew the subscription license, it stops working. I would also like to see SSL BPM support for anything else."
"One area that could use improvement in the Meraki Dashboard is user-friendliness when navigating to port configurations."
"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."
"I would like to receive decent notification alerts regarding the license's expiry. Or any help on correcting or optimizing licenses, because in certain circumstances you can add a license but it's the wrong licensing. However, the Dashboard adds the license in some way, and you do not utilize it. You can simply extend the license's expiration date."
"The user experience should be improved. It's not user-friendly."
"Mist AI and Cloud should be marketed more and focus on making partners in the industry."
"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."
"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 solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."
"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."
"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."
"Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed."
