Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) Other Advice

JasonRogers - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Technology Officer at Tasman Logistics Services

My advice for those considering Cisco Meraki Systems Manager is to carefully plan your deployment according to your specific environment's needs. Ensure you have the right devices and topology in place to deliver what you require. Some companies make the mistake of over-purchasing devices and licenses, while others under-plan and end up without sufficient coverage. Proper planning is key to a successful deployment. It may not have every single feature that some vendors offer, but it is a good fit for the majority of requirements. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I rate Cisco Meraki Sytems Manager nine out of 10. I still recommend it to my colleagues at other organizations. It's expensive, but you will have fewer headaches in the future. And the future is Cisco backups, so you don't have to worry. It's a significant upfront investment, but when you consider the cost over five or six years, it's worth it. You cannot say that $20,000 is a considerable expense because it will last five years. However, if you're spending $40,000, the annual cost is much greater.

From the app management perspective, don't create a profile with all the apps sitting within it. You should have some flexibility so you don't have to update the profile every time you need an app. I would advise anyone looking to implement this solution to test how it behaves with a mix of devices and perform a gap analysis. They should also consider what level of ease they're looking for and what their pain point is. I would give Meraki Systems Manager a rating of nine out of ten.

We’re resellers and integrators.

I’m using the latest version of the solution.

I also have a Meraki network at home. I use it for labs, for my home and my devices, and my personal devices. I'm using them with the system on there, Meraki. I also use it professionally and use both on-premise and cloud deployments.

I’d rate the solution nine out of ten. If it was better with Linux, I’d rate it higher.

We are just end-users of the product.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. 

Overall, so far, I'd rate it an eight out of ten. It's still new and I still need time to get used to it.

Generally speaking, if it's just a mesh network within your own environment, which could be done at a fairly low knowledge level. It's when you're dealing with the external partners and stuff like that that you'll either have to really know what you're talking about to try and troubleshoot. It's a very easy solution for the most part, it's very easy to implement and very easy to administer.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate this solution at ten.

If you want something that's going to work and scale very well, and allow you to pre-configure the devices before you get them into the company, then Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDMEMM) is a great option.

There's a lot of options in the configuration and the setup.  Make a test device and a test group and make sure you fully understand what is going on before you roll it out.  For example, one setting lets you deny use of Safari, which sounds good till the user clicks a link in an email and it won't open.  *Unless you use Microsoft Outlook which allows you to pick the app that links open in.

Setting up VPP and DEP takes a little bit of effort, but these will be required no matter the MDM solution you choose. The Apple device enrollment program allows devices bought from the carrier you are registered with to show up in the account. 

On the Apple side, the VPP allows you to bulk buy apps, that's the same, regardless of which MDM solution you use.

Personally, we don't plan to continue to use it going forward. While the Apple side of the solution is great, the Windows side just has a lot of problems.
