"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"Technical support is great."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"It is easy to implement."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"The most valuable feature is the single pane of glass that gives you multisite visibility."
"It is very easy to manage. It has good security, and it is working well with our firewall."
"Great visibility on the dashboard."
"What I found most valuable in the Meraki Dashboard is straight monitoring of the different devices, as well as the ability to easily set up VPNs, for example, both Meraki client VPNs and non-Meraki VPNs for different organizations that work with my company. I also like that the tool is a really good firewall."
"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."
"It is very stable and we have been using it for five years."
"The initial setup was easy."
"The feature I find most valuable is the single pane of glass where you can configure a monitor view, all from one dashboard. For example, on the wireless side, you can configure it under the configuration panel, and then view statistics like location analytics, user analytics, etc."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"Price could be reduced."
"The coverage has been an issue for us."
"Not a lot of training is available."
"I’d like the product to allow for other solutions to be integrated with the dashboard as well."
"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."
"The price could be lower because the license for access points is expensive."
"The tool needs to incorporate more integration platforms. Integrating technical support features directly into the dashboard would be highly beneficial. This would allow technicians to troubleshoot issues more efficiently."
"More integration would be an improvement."
