"The most valuable feature of Meraki MS Switches is user-friendliness."
"Console of the dashboard is well integrated."
"The top feature of Meraki MS switches for me is Layer 7 application visibility. Another positive in general is that you don't need to set up a console to the switch itself; it dials in to a single dashboard where you can completely manage all your network devices."
"Being able to look at every port and see what it is connected to is very useful. Everything seems to be running really well. They've got everything covered. They have a really cool mounting system at the bottom and an access point that you can use to level up your device. It is kind of cool."
"With Meraki, there is the advantage that you have dashboard access via the internet and you can work on it from anywhere."
"It's a well-rounded solution for routing."
"A valuable aspect is its user-friendly configuration, making it accessible even for individuals with basic technical knowledge."
"Some of the most valuable features are the simplicity, cost, usability, and power. As a package, it's extremely effective."
"It is easy to set up."
"The tool has impacted our company's network costs and productivity in a perfect manner and percentage-wise, I can say it is 120 percent."
"There are a lot of features to control permitting or stopping packets in the network."
"This solution is very similar to the on-premises version making it easy to use for those who know the architect."
"The most valuable feature is that it has better throughput than its competitors."
"The pricing can be made cheaper."
"This solution is too simple for some cases, and there should be more configuration options."
"I would like to see improvements to the dark mode in the next release, as I prefer the dark mode."
"Some people would have some reservations about the yearly subscription. Maybe they could offer an option of having a one-off or perpetual license to let people test it and see how it goes."
"They tend to have some weird issues with fiber uplinks."
"Meraki should include an application to assist users with the design of access points."
"There should be a focus on the emerging markets to offer better pricing. In India, they are offering it at better pricing for the emerging markets."
"They need to work on prioritizing different types of data on the network, whether it's voice, data, video, et cetera. Video needs to be prioritized in a much better way, for example."
"The packet filtering, user log data, and user access log could all be improved."
"Improvements are needed with respect to some of the security, especially for VPN links between vendors other than Cisco."
"Technical support could be better."
"The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version."
"It would be even better with a centralized management platform."
"The bulk efficiencies and the control of traffic could be a bit better."
"There has to be more development in the OS. It's complex for this switch as compared to others like Cisco. For NetGear and Cisco, it's easy to adapt the VLAN concept but it should be simplified for MikroTik."
"If MikroTik had a marketing team and support team in India then it would be much easier for us to get the product, as well as support."
