"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has."
"There are some whitelist blacklist capabilities in the MX dashboard, which is very helpful."
"The most valuable feature is its simplicity in navigating through the dashboard. It's well set out, and the layout is nice and user friendly. A lot of clients enjoy seeing layer 7 visibility. They get a good indication and insight into what is happening in their network and what applications are being used the most. They can then customize and give preference to business-critical applications."
"The most valuable feature of Meraki Dashboard is we can manage our switches and access point in one place."
"It can analyze the traffic that it is picking up from what may be a rogue access point, and it is able to identify those and send relevant notifications."
"It's a scalable solution."

"Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."
"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."
"They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."
"Price could be reduced."
"They could offer API functionality for Meraki Dashboard. It will help us develop software immediately using available solutions."
"Something that needs to be improved, is the fact that you if you don't renew the subscription license, it stops working. I would also like to see SSL BPM support for anything else."
"We would like to be able to test the health of WAN connections."
"It's a very complex system. Customers have told me that sometimes there are lots of advanced features that are available and that you can change in the dashboard, but sometimes it's very hard to know what they are."
"If I am a user and I have a seat on the fourth floor, if I move across the building, the system should be able to track me and should be able to figure out my whereabouts or my position within the building if I'm connected to the wireless. That would make the administrator's life easier in terms of reachability."
"I would like to receive decent notification alerts regarding the license's expiry. Or any help on correcting or optimizing licenses, because in certain circumstances you can add a license but it's the wrong licensing. However, the Dashboard adds the license in some way, and you do not utilize it. You can simply extend the license's expiration date."
"I think this product could be improved with a CLI for more directives."
