We performed a comparison between Meraki Dashboard and Statseeker based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Meraki Dashboard is we can manage our switches and access point in one place."
"We greatly utilize the network because we can plug it into the DNS, VPN, or equipment. It's very good. Meraki Dashboard enhances wireless network management. We appreciate its flexibility, as it allows for easy suite configuration. We can handle everything on there when there's a policy or any other requirement."
"I like that Meraki Dashboard is a user-friendly product."
"The product can scale if you need it to."
"An excellent dashboard that is currently unique in covering both SD-WAN and SD-LAN with built-in security."
"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."
"Some of the features I have found valuable are the ease of access, simple configuration, and monitoring."
"The graphics and trends are the most valuable for us."
"This solution allowed us to track down trouble users."
"The product simplifies monitoring by providing real-time alerts through a GUI dashboard, email and texts."
"This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with it."
"Key features for us are custom reporting, 95th Percentile, and trend lines."
"The most important for us is how fast this solution is, as well as the granularity that you can get to, such as per-minute statistics."
"This solution has helped us to proactively identify issues and push some of those fixes down to tier one."
"It catches frequent flapping of the network and provides detailed reports of outages."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The solution can be expensive."
"Some features could be added."
"This solution can be quite complicated to configure and manage, unless you have a technical person with specific knowledge working on it."
"There are some issues with the NAT configuration, it is now impossible to some operations with the solution."
"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."
"I’d like the product to allow for other solutions to be integrated with the dashboard as well."
"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."
"Meraki lacks their own software for connecting to the VPN which creates some issues."
"With Statseeker I'd like to see some flow, i.e. what's tuning-up the network. The trend I like is managing the traffic load by going to the cloud."
"The user interface needs to be made more intuitive."
"We haven't seen an ROI."
"It would be nice if they had twenty-four-hour technical support because we contact Australia and we have to wait for them to open."
"If it had more detailed NetFlow information then it would be far better."
"I would like the ability to update the dashboard. I would also like the ability to access via an API. Then I could produce a dashboard that my C level can understand. This is just so they can go and refresh whenever they want to and see what things look like."
"I would like to see more comprehensive reporting and alerting."
"I'd say the interface could improve a little bit. I find with new users, I tend to have to spend a bit of time walking them through how to use the interface. It could be a little more user friendly."
