"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."
"I would say the ease of use is the most valuable feature. It's very easy to set up and get up and running."
"Meraki Dashboard centralizes control of all our equipment into one cloud-based console, so we can manage it from anywhere. We can resolve problems remotely outside of business hours because it is on the cloud. You can use the dashboard to change security settings or configure routers and switches."
"We find that Meraki has all the features you need to be able to enable complex network protocols for AV equipment. We deal with a streaming product over IP, and Meraki is fantastic at that."
"The dashboard itself is very simplified and easy to navigate."
"An excellent dashboard that is currently unique in covering both SD-WAN and SD-LAN with built-in security."
"The solution scales well."
"The ability of the product to perform with simplicity of deployment make it a valuable solution."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"The flexibility to support most technologies. The way ScienceLogic gathers data from multiple sources is vital to our customers. As we work with new customers (often with different technology requirements), ScienceLogic is flexible enough to support our clients’ varying network needs."
"It is simple."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It is not appropriate for large, enterprise businesses."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"They could offer API functionality for Meraki Dashboard. It will help us develop software immediately using available solutions."
"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."
"Price could be reduced."
"The MDM, however, is bad. We're using another MDM now because Meraki was so bad."
"The product is missing a VPN and it is a major issue when it comes to deployment."
"The solution can be expensive."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"Addressing duplicate IPs: There is the ability to edit the DB and fix this, but adding some logic to understand them would be a plus."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic."
