"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"For my purposes, I don't need to see any other features added to the Meraki Dashboard. I have no criticisms and I do like the tool. If I had a criticism for it, it would be about the pricing because it could be a little less, but again, for the service that you get, I won't complain about that too much."
"The solution has a limited routing table and needs improvement by increasing the numbers as well as providing a summarization for the table."

"One area that could use improvement in the Meraki Dashboard is user-friendliness when navigating to port configurations."

"The MDM, however, is bad. We're using another MDM now because Meraki was so bad."
"The downside to the simplicity is that you can't get as granular as you could with the Cisco APs."
