Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."The initial setup was straightforward. I installed it myself."
"This solution is very reliable and works well under harsh environmental circumstances."
"It is easy to configure and claim the switches by their serial number directly from the portal."
"Meraki's site-to-site VPN function is phenomenal, and the VLAN is simple to use and set up. If you need the VLAN to sort the networks out, that works very well. The performance is also excellent."
"The most valuable features of Meraki MS Switches are ease of use, and we can find technical knowledge easily."
"The performance is pretty good."
"It makes the management of SSIDs fairly easy."
"Easily installable, with good scalability, stability and technical support."
"With Meraki, there is the advantage that you have dashboard access via the internet and you can work on it from anywhere."
"We are using the MS425 series. We like the ease of use, ease of administration, and central dashboard. Meraki also has fantastic documentation and community. With its central dashboard, we can deploy a generic configuration across hundreds of switches, rather than doing it in the old school way where an individual or a group of engineers would log onto each device via CLI, which takes a long time. So, everything is connected."
"The CLI syntax for this solution is different from other switches such as Cisco and Juniper, and it takes us a long time to integrate a new device and get it working properly."
"I think there is a need for more support of new generation technologies."
"Management from a single dashboard is what I want to see from Meraki MS Switches."
"There is not much training available for this solution."
"In reference to an area of improvement sometimes the switch does not connect to the internet initially."
"Meraki MS switches are great for pretty much all SMB networks and most enterprise networks. However, there are some higher-end functions that larger enterprise networks with full access, distribution, and core switch stack may find limiting."
"I don't like some of the mobile device management options. They're a little bit hard to find in the system."
"They could lower the price."
"Sometimes the controller in the cloud that controls the access points does not have the most accurate information. There is sometimes a glitch in keeping the management controller that is in the cloud up to date."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
