"It would be nice if they can provide support for local authentication protocol, which is a security feature. It is not supported right now. They already support security features, so adding some local authentication features would be very nice. Currently, they only support external databases for the stuff for the authentication feature. If they could improve the existing feature or add a feature to support local databases, local username, password authentication, I think it would be very amazing."

"The initial setup was complex."
"We'd prefer if the product, in general, was easier to use. It can be a bit difficult."
"The product demonstrates poor price per performance when compared with its competitors."
"We have dealt with a few minor bugs."
"The throughputs, especially the throughput path, can be improved on the core switches. I think they should improve the throughput in the core switches to enable higher throughputs."
"The solution does not fit all use cases."
"The biggest area that they fall short on is comparing the performance."
"The reporting could be improved and could be more granular."
"I would like to add a voice capability to Meraki, to make a call or receive a call."
"The firewall is not very powerful. The other week, one of the switches only gave one gigabit of output. It's become a concern for our customers."
