"A very robust solution."
"The graphical userface is very good and quite easy to run with."
"We can easily replace components without incurring significant costs in an error or failure."
"The HPE Ethernet switches have very low latency."
"The simplicity of the commands is most valuable. The commands are the same for several devices."
"I have found the most valuable feature is stability."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to orchestrate the network from the cloud."
"The cloud part of Meraki Switches is very good. They also have a good GUI. It's a complete solution. I like the switching and the monitoring part."
"The solution is stable."
"The interface is great. It's easy to understand for the customer."
"These switches are not expensive and their configuration is very easy. You can provision them on the dashboard, then you just connect them to everything."
"This product has QoS, decent visibility of what's going on, and it's a managed switch."
"The solution is scalable and can accommodate as many devices as needed."
"To me, this is a product that meets all of the needs that anyone could possibly have for a networking device."
"There is some improvement needed for the power supply of the solution."
"They should continue to work on new features."
"It is not very stable."
"Configuration can be complex."
"In the next release, I would like to see them include more features like the Aruba solution, to have more possibilities concerning the software design."
"This solution needs to support software-defined networking."
"The pricing could be lowered."
"The only improvement I can think of is that it could be better with less updates."
"Doesn't enable a local configuration without internet access."
"The stability of the solution isn't ideal. We've had a lot of problems with the switches. They are unstable and unreliable. We need to reboot them often."
"The product demonstrates poor price per performance when compared with its competitors."
"I don't like some of the mobile device management options. They're a little bit hard to find in the system."
"It would be great if the switch can identify the IP address connected to the network port. It seems most of the switches cannot identify the IP address. They can identify the MAC address but not the IP address."
"In reference to an area of improvement sometimes the switch does not connect to the internet initially."
"The quote-building process is challenging and it needs to be simplified."
"The lead times can be long in terms of actually getting the hardware."
