Baidu WiFi Hotspot vs. Cisco Meraki Go

Baidu Wi-Fi Hotspot is best suited where there is zero-tolerance for no network as it converts a Windows device to an access point where multiple users can access that windows device's network which stops their work from hampering even if there is no data available. It is a safe app therefore safety is not at all an issue for users.

Cisco Meraki Go is well suited for small or large organizations that want to centralize their network management. We have half a dozen offices spread over two states. I can manage all of my networks through a single pane of glass. The only time Cisco Meraki Go isn't super appropriate is when larger organizations may want to use a more granular security approach or set up VPNs with non-Meraki hardware.

• One thing I would add is that sometimes the app has downtime or works particularly slowly on the weekends. Why that is, I'm not sure, maybe because I have an older iPhone.

It's just as easy to use as Meraki but a perfect fit for home and SMB. It's a no-brainer.

It's good, it can be better, but it's good. We had problems with Outlook 365 disconnecting and their support wasn't able to help us. We spent a few hours on the phone and finally, one of our NOC guys decided to change the MTU. I'm sure their support is good, I just think that this time we didn't find the right person.
