We performed a comparison between Cradlepoint NetCloud and Meraki SD-WAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined Networking (SDN) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to set up and requires a single administrator to maintain it."
"Cradlepoint NetCloud is very stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the automatic failover."
"The most valuable feature is application performance monitoring and being able to browse packets dynamically based on priorities."
"The Meraki interface is really well driven and very mature."
"I can manage it very well and in a very easy way."
"The management system is one of the best available."
"The centralized console manageable from the cloud is one of the advantages."
"Zero touch configuration onsite based on the manager system's pre-configuration and the VPN automation set."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Meraki SD-WAN is a scalable solution because changes are being made to the solution, enabling it to work in different environments."
"It is missing important settings options."
"The performance of group-based clouds should be enhanced."
"In our situation, the initial setup was complex."
"The solution lacks a certain amount of functionality and features."
"The area I think this solution should improve is the pricing."
"Warm spare is a good failover solution but Meraki could do something more to handle failovers better."
"I'm not too familiar with the Meraki environment, but I suppose more automation is always a good thing."
"Scalability could be improved. Yes, you can add more than 300 or 400 sites onto it, but because it's not a true SD-WAN and, effectively, it's just a Multi-VRF, it's all hub and spoke at that point. That's the nature of the design, but that's what keeps it simple to administer. So, it's a trade off."
"The deployment time of Meraki SD-WAN can vary. For someone new to the process, it could take a couple of hours. However, for someone with hands-on experience, such as myself, it only takes approximately two to three hours to set up the entire configuration."
"The port density should be improved because this solution is limited to two."
"Meraki is more or less intelligent load balancing, although a lot of features are missing that our SD-WAN solutions will have."
