We performed a comparison between Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches and Meraki MS Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is a scalable solution."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches have a good interface, and the documentation is detailed."
"It's scalable. It is cloud-based controlled. We don't need to buy a dedicated controller. It allows me to control all of my access points everywhere in all my companies."
"The most important feature related to this solution is that most of the time, it covers all of what we need for our projects."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is a stable solution."
"The installation is easy."
"In a previous use case, we deployed Linksys Switches for blocking unwanted signals within a premises with the help of their clean air technology. This was one of the notable advantages of Linksys Switches over Cisco."
"The most valuable feature is performance."
"It is easy to configure and claim the switches by their serial number directly from the portal."
"It makes the management of SSIDs fairly easy."
"The solution is scalable."
"This is an OK solution for small to medium-sized businesses with no IT staff."
"It is easy to work with."
"This product has QoS, decent visibility of what's going on, and it's a managed switch."
"The most valuable feature of Meraki MS Switches is user-friendliness."
"The product offered a lower CapEx cost for the appliance."
"It would be ideal if they could do more configurations and offer more flexibility. Right now, it's not flexible at all."
"The product must be made cloud-based."
"We are expecting one software that can run across all of Cisco hardware, software, and Cisco Switch router, similar to what Juniper has."
"Cisco Linksys could be more secure. It could also add a controller to control all the devices, like the access points and so on."
"Cisco offers a wide range of features, and in the enterprise and mid-segment market in Europe, we make use of most of them. Some features are essential for our operations, while others may go unused. The feature set provided by Cisco is comprehensive, and there's little more we could ask for. It would be a nice addition if, in the future, Cisco switches could incorporate artificial intelligence to provide proactive feedback and guidance instead of having to search for solutions ourselves. This development is likely to come with time, and we'll patiently await such enhanced functionality."
"It should be cheaper. We need a better price from Cisco. Its initial setup and support should also be improved."
"Scalability-wise, this solution is not designed for small businesses."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Some people would have some reservations about the yearly subscription. Maybe they could offer an option of having a one-off or perpetual license to let people test it and see how it goes."
"They need to work on prioritizing different types of data on the network, whether it's voice, data, video, et cetera. Video needs to be prioritized in a much better way, for example."
"It would be great if they can get the price down for small businesses."
"It could be easier to use and easier to implement."
"We aren't missing any features."
"Communication of compliance risk is awkward at best and threatening at worst. It needs to be addressed."
"Sometimes there's a problem with the pricing model they use. They should work to fix this."
"It is not compliant with the requirements of specific industries that want to set it up within a particular region or country."
