Cisco Meraki MX Reviews & Product Details

What I like most about the Cisco Meraki MX is how easy it is to manage everything from a single cloud dashboard. The interface is clean, intuitive, and makes day-to-day administration much faster. Deployments are almost plug-and-play, and even complex configurations like VPNs or firewall rules can be done in minutes. The visibility it gives into network activity is extremely helpful, and the automatic updates and alerts reduce a lot of manual efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest downside of Cisco Meraki MX is the dependency on licensing - without an active license, the product loses much of its functionality. Some advanced features can also feel a bit limited compared to traditional Cisco appliances, especially when you need deep customization. Occasionally, the dashboard can lag during peak hours, and the cost can be slightly higher compared to other solutions in the same category. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy it was to plug in just work. I loved the GUI and how user friendly it was, and how easy it was to setup policies and filter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The monthly or yearly subscription, and how a ton of their products don't work if you don't keep up the subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use the Meraki MX device as a wireless concentrator, and it has allowed us to reduce broadcast chatter across our campus network by tunneling all requests back to a single switch port. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Meraki products work well and are easy to manage, they don’t provide as many enterprise-grade or customizable options as some other vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about meraki is the ability to have in one dashboard all your devices, you can configure your network (switches, AP, firewalls, IoT) from one single place. You can see the status of all your network devices, clients, a lot or reports, and if you need to add a device it doesn't involve to much effort as you can have your config ready to a kind of plug and play for your new device.

The only downside in my opinion is that if you have a kind of licence in your organization all the devices must use the same type of licence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
