"The most valuable feature is the single pane of glass that gives you multisite visibility."
"Great visibility on the dashboard."
"Scalability is one of Meraki Dashboard's strongest features. We have thousands of users if we're counting the end-users on our clients' network, but we have hundreds of clients."
"We like how Meraki Dashboard lets you manage all the devices in a single pane of glass. The dashboard is intuitive and easy to use. They are constantly updating the functionality. Switches from other vendors have the same features for the life of the device, but Meraki is always improving."
"Versa Director is the fastest engineering tool and is ideal for use without product management."

"The wait time to speak with a Meraki support engineer is always long, but they get the job done."
"For my purposes, I don't need to see any other features added to the Meraki Dashboard. I have no criticisms and I do like the tool. If I had a criticism for it, it would be about the pricing because it could be a little less, but again, for the service that you get, I won't complain about that too much."
"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."
"I’d like the product to allow for other solutions to be integrated with the dashboard as well."
"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."
"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."
"What needs improvement in Versa Director is maturity because, from an operating point of view, it's not mature enough. You'll still need to do a lot of research on Versa Director, so if it could mature faster, that would be very good."
"Versa could be more AI-oriented."
"It requires some simplification."
"Versa Director's deployment process is not the best."
