"The most valuable feature is their support, they get better every day."
"There is no need to swap the hardware at all the locations, and importing the APs into the Dashboard was a simple and quick process."
"The initial setup was easy."
"We greatly utilize the network because we can plug it into the DNS, VPN, or equipment. It's very good. Meraki Dashboard enhances wireless network management. We appreciate its flexibility, as it allows for easy suite configuration. We can handle everything on there when there's a policy or any other requirement."
"There are some whitelist blacklist capabilities in the MX dashboard, which is very helpful."
"It is very stable and we have been using it for five years."
"I would say the ease of use is the most valuable feature. It's very easy to set up and get up and running."
"The most valuable feature is the single pane of glass that gives you multisite visibility."
"It is a very valuable tool. It goes out and does a discovery, which is a great process of it. You could have something like a rogue DHCP server, and it will identify it, and then you can see to which switch port it is connected. It is quite an impressive tool. I really liked it because you didn't have to install an agent on anything. It would just go out and do its discovery. For me, that's great."
"Gives us the ability to see our network."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It is not appropriate for large, enterprise businesses."
"I’d like the product to allow for other solutions to be integrated with the dashboard as well."
"This solution can be quite complicated to configure and manage, unless you have a technical person with specific knowledge working on it."
"Meraki lacks their own software for connecting to the VPN which creates some issues."
"The solution has a limited routing table and needs improvement by increasing the numbers as well as providing a summarization for the table."
"Something that needs to be improved, is the fact that you if you don't renew the subscription license, it stops working. I would also like to see SSL BPM support for anything else."
"The pricing for this solution needs to be improved."
"The product is missing a VPN and it is a major issue when it comes to deployment."
"Its price can be improved. Their support can also be improved a little bit. In terms of features, it did everything I wanted it to do. With more features, I would have to start installing network agents or something else, and I don't want to have to install anything. This was the value for me about this device."
"I would like a built-in tap feature which doesn't interfere with the network, and it allows you to see what is happening there."
