It is ideal to have a fast, secure, and very stable 4g Wi-Fi network to expand the range of connectivity for users and increase the productivity and efficiency of work teams. It is not so good to implement it quickly as you need to learn how to use it very efficiently it is not plugged and played.

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.

Cisco Meraki Go is very fast and offers high productivity than other solutions available in the market. It offers a wide range of features in a very affordable pricing model which is quite a competition for all the alternatives out there. Since we have offices in remote as well, that's why we went with Meraki Go as it can be easily moved from one location to another.

The ease of deployment can be moved from one site to another easily. There is no need for any source or managing controller and hence it can be easily moved with the same configuration. This type of solution is best for teams who work together and are on the move from one location to another and who rely on high performance and good security for their wifi network.

  • Meraki has improved our business and our sales by a lot.
  • Customers are always happy to enter our brewery and have a drink, even more, when their internet works to near perfection.
  • I even catch myself watching an episode or two on netflix during my lunch break, considering the internet can support my 4k streaming.
