I really like how Cisco Meraki is a single platform where we can manage all of our network and equipment. It's easy to manage wireless configurations and allows us to introduce new VLANs and manage SSIDs easily. The system includes portals for accepting terms and conditions, which simplifies management. I appreciate being able to see all of the LLDP information from the switches, knowing what's plugged in where, and what's currently being utilized from client health and other perspectives. The initial setup was really easy, it's pretty much plug and play. You just enter serial numbers, click through a couple of options for SSIDs, and you're good to go.

The way the SSO works with your 365 on the Meraki portal is quite a pain to move to. Having to remove yourself from every single individual company that you've been invited to before you can enable SSO, and then having to enable SSO on all of those other companies, that needs to be reviewed, really.

Extremely easy to manage! So nice to see everything all in one single pane of glass.

We primarily use these for setting up Site to Site VPNs to Azure and the process is significantly easier than setting up any other firewall we've used in the past! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing on the licensing is the biggest pain point for sure, but it's an enterprise-grade firewall, so it's to be expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Cisco Meraki for its centralized cloud dashboard, which makes managing firewalls, VPN, and network policies incredibly simple and efficient across both head office and branch regions. The real-time visibility and alerts provided by Meraki, along with its robust security features, significantly reduce troubleshooting time and enhance overall network stability. I also find the initial setup process to be very straightforward, with zero-touch provisioning and a smooth configuration experience thanks to the cloud dashboard. Once the VLANs and security policies are fine-tuned, ongoing management becomes extremely easy. Cisco Meraki has proven essential in managing and securing our entire network infrastructure across multiple locations, providing reliable VPN access, traffic visibility, and automated failover to keep our environment secure and stable.

The costing for Cisco Meraki can be an issue, as some advanced features require additional licenses. The reporting capabilities feel limited compared to other enterprise tools. I think Cisco Meraki could benefit from offering deeper analytics, more granular firewall rules, and improved VPN performance. Also, firmware controls could be better.

The best part of Meraki is the dashboard management of all things Meraki (settings, ports, reboots, troubleshooting, etc). Reliable products and good support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost is high, but justified. Some settings could be in a better menu structure. Wish the cameras had more options for detecting objects, people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part of Cisco Meraki, in my experience, is the centralized cloud dashboard. It makes setup, implementation, and day-to-day use incredibly straightforward, and it lets our team manage multiple sites from a single pane of glass. The “zero-touch” provisioning is also a major time-saver for our small IT team, especially when we’re rolling out or updating equipment across locations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The “no license, no work” policy can feel a bit stressful, especially during renewal periods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cisco Meraki is a modern solution for enterprise network. It offers simplicity over complication for managing networks. Easy deployment for SD-wan secure devices and switches.
