Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Juniper, Aviatrix and others in Software Defined Networking (SDN)."The solution is easy to use."
"As long as the LAN is well structured, installations and setup can be complete within forty-five minutes."
"We have found the scalability to be good."
"The solution's ability to prioritize traffic is its most valuable feature."
"I have found the dashboard very useful, you can configure all of your devices at the same time by just changing some menus."
"They're known for their ease of use and ubiquitous management platform that covers everything. Meraki really excels in plug-and-play solutions. You just plug it up, and everything works. All of the components—the firewall/router, the switches, the access points, the cameras—work very nicely together, and they all can be managed from one platform. That is probably their biggest selling point. Everything comes in one ubiquitous package, and you don't have to manage different components from different platforms. You can see everything from one platform."
"Meraki SD-WAN is user friendly."
"Because it's a cloud-based network infrastructure, everything is done in the cloud, so I don't need to be on-site physically to be able to troubleshoot or resolve an issue. I can be anywhere and resolve an issue."
"It is very easy to deploy. The GUI interface is really good, and the security features are also very good. It is also stable and scalable, and their support is also good."
"I like all the features. We utilize different LAN, bandwidth transferring, bandwidth balancing, and mappings. We use it as a centralized solution, and use the same product at all our locations."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the next-generation firewall features and geo-blocking capabilities."
"There are great security and ops features without the need for having a different box for security."
"Our organization finds the application routing features extremely useful."
"The flexibility is a great feature."
"The division of Control Plane and Data Plane is most valuable. It can be deployed anywhere, and you can control it and configure it from anywhere. This is one of the good features of this solution."
"The product has a dynamic VPN feature for SD-WAN."

"I'm not too familiar with the Meraki environment, but I suppose more automation is always a good thing."
"The only area for improvement in Meraki SD-WAN is its licensing model, as well as its cost structure."
"Meraki is lagging behind in using a single pipe from service providers. That is, it would be good if they could use both the internet leased line and broadband connectivity."
"I would like to see more functions added to the next release of Meraki SD-WAN."
"Meraki is more or less intelligent load balancing, although a lot of features are missing that our SD-WAN solutions will have."
"People are struggling a little bit with the lead times right now. It’s hard to actually get the hardware."
"The solution lacks a certain amount of functionality and features."
"The granularity could be improved."
"The solution's current customer support is not that good. So, they need to improve that. Also, the solution's UI is quite complex, so they need to simplify it."
"The VPN feature is relatively new. It came out two releases ago, and they're still fixing that up."
"The stability of FlexVNF's controller and devices could be improved."
"The web interface can be improved."
"I heard about them for the first time just before I started working on Versa. They do have blogs for information, but they could publicize more about the documentation and architecture. It doesn't seem to have that much exposure, and they should work on their customer base more."
"The interface could be simpler."
"There are limitations when you connect from multiple locations. It does not work as expected. If you have more than 400 users, then it will choke. It will not perform as expected."
"We are thinking about how to make customers consolidate the loads to an SD-WAN network so that the customers can have bigger chunk from the SD-WAN side so that customers can have critical data be transferred with NPS VPN and non-critical data or some labeled traffic can be transferred by the SD-WAN network. I think it's a very important direction for digital transformation."
