Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) Room for Improvement

JasonRogers - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Technology Officer at Tasman Logistics Services

One area for improvement in Cisco Meraki Systems Manager is the ability for more advanced users to make detailed and non-standard changes. It can be a bit challenging to customize things beyond the standard options. However, this simplicity can also be a strength for those who prefer an easy-to-use interface. Over time, more features are being added to the user-friendly front end, reducing the need for advanced customization.

I've participated in numerous product launches primarily focused on HP and Dell. Consequently, there should be a vested interest in local gatherings to showcase product advantages and performance. Particularly in Singapore, it only has so limited integrators to engage in IP product sales. There's room for improvement through dedicated workshops and training. The European and Western markets differ significantly from the context here. The physical location holds more importance. Thus, they should have a survey to evaluate demand, supply, and sales points, tailoring strategies accordingly.

Security could be improved, and there could be more features that enable you to customize the end customer solution.

There is not a lot of good sales and technical organization in general, so it's difficult to have support.

Cisco's authorized scripting can be complicated. For example, we sometimes enter the wrong code using this script, and then we had to dictate to find the problem.

There is room for improvement in the technical support.

In future releases, we would like to see less subscription costs. 

So, we would like to see more cloud-based features and fewer subscriptions.

Meraki is limiting our connections. We have more network ports and equipment than Meraki has set for us. Meraki has set a limit of two ports, while we need four.

There is room for improvement in terms of pricing. If they could offer a more competitive pricing structure, it would make the solution even more appealing. A more affordable cost would likely attract a broader user base and enhance the overall value of the already robust Meraki system.

The cost of the solution is a bit high. There are other cheaper options on the market.

Right now, all the attention is going only to the Apple devices. They need to allocate more energy in terms of their offering to devices that are not Apple devices.

There are problems with the connection on the client side, and the app that was deployed could be better. It probably had a few bugs because it needed all the synchronizations to be clean, and that was user-enabled. It would be better if the administrator could control this because you wouldn't be dependent on the user or need to prompt them to update the device and could see the status from the administrative cloud dashboard.

Linux compatibility needs improvement. The datasheet, the instructions, and the documentation say it works with Linux. However, we haven't had a great experience getting it to work. It works very well with Microsoft, however. We need better workability on Linux. That's something that maybe they maybe want to improve.

We have used it for too short of a time to have thoughts about what might be missing; we still need to get more familiar with it.

The solution can be expensive.

The one particular issue that we had is that one of our sites had a very specific VPN site-to-site setup for access into a a particular client. We could see what was coming out of the firewall, and for some reason, the client firewall was not responding in the way that we were expecting, and we were unable to get client's firewall team on the line in time for us to get it all straightened out, so we had to fall back to the ASA that was in place.

The cost of installing this solution can be more expensive depending on who is doing the installation. Cisco is very expensive, and I'd like to see a reduction in cost.

Because Cisco has improved a lot and is competing with other technologies that are innovative and brand new to the market, the only improvements they have to make are to keep up with the current competition and remain competitive with other solutions.

We've used the iOS client. The Windows client has a lot to be desired to be a full management tool. 

We first tried the Windows client, but quickly determined that it wasn't going to cut it for most Windows cases. The Windows portion of this product needs improvement.

Geofency polices are great, but it depends on how the device has the localization services configured. If the device is not getting the right GPS position, Geofency polices will fail.

It would be beneficial to have better integration with other operating systems. For example, some customers use Chromebooks and other versions of Windows, Linux, especially in educational institutions like schools here in Brazil. It would be advantageous to expand its compatibility to include other commonly used operating systems.
