Sr. IT Specialist Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/30/2020 "You get what you pay for" 0/5 What do you like best about Cisco Meraki? The price. Of all the MDM solutions out there, Meraki SM is by far the cheapest and if you have existing Meraki Networks its a great way to get off the ground with MacOS systems management. The Lock and Wipe features work very well, as do the network uptime and monitoring pieces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cisco Meraki? Application installs and upgrades are a crapshoot whether you are utilizing VPP or doing direct package installations. While profiles install pretty quickly and easily, app installations do not and often end up taking a considerable amount of manual intervention. They include a pretty nice reverse SSH tunnel implementation for doing remote desktop machines but this too is highly unreliable and I have already replaced that piece with another solution. The licensing model, while affordable, follows the typical Cisco 1-5 year subscription plan and is not that desirable for MDM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
