A number of networks we've taken over were using Ubiquiti Unifi, which is an okay solution, but a lot more cumbersome to manage. We've found the Cisco Meraki Dashboard system much more intuitive and way less time-intensive. Simple things like setting up dedicated DHCP entries …

I don’t see where it would be less suited, but for us it’s been—we’ve refreshed our whole network with it—and it’s suited for education sites. It’s manageable simply because of the fact that we continue to lose human capital, so this makes it easier to use AI and other tools to replace.

Cons
Cisco
  • Cloud communication could be improved
  • Rebooting network switch like an MS120 remotely takes more time vs MX64 for some reason
  • Quicker response time for status updates. Cisco Meraki Dashboard take too long to update sometimes
  • Uptime for all devices not just the switches but firewalls and APs would be great to have
  • Timeline improvements/more detail timeline

Usability
Cisco
Cisco Meraki Dashboard is a modern interface that makes it easy to find devices and their health status. It has powerful remote tools that can help you manage every aspect of the network at a granular level. Something that may be frustrating is that some advanced settings are sometimes oversimplified, and the customization is limited.

Cisco Meraki Dashboard is easy to use compared to other vendors. They do not have all the intricate configurations offered by products from competitors, but for the price point and what it gives you there is nothing better. The lower learning curve with onboarding a new hire and get them familiar with Meraki is much easier which our company loves.

Return on Investment
Cisco
  • The dashboard saves literal hours of drive time with its options. Locations that are states apart save actual days worth of travel time just by allowing us to enact simple solutions without needing boots on the ground. This saves manpower and keeps personnel open for more severe situations.
  • The ability to perform most networking operations via the dashboard allows many employees to do their job remotely. This gives them the opportunity to perform non-severe work from their homes and makes it feasible to let employees leave work early to beat traffic without sacrificing company time or efficiency.
