    Well suited is if you do configuration one time and roll out to multiple sites, multiple networks, multiple wireless S societies. You create a profile and rollout, and you use automation that takes care of a lot of your manual work. So it's pretty suitable for those divers. Anything related to customization that a Cisco Meraki Dashboard doesn't offer and you use your other automation tool, I think there is an improvement for Cisco Meraki Dashboard to involve all those features and integrate with other third party services.

    We are able to get to the root of the issue much more rapidly this way, and we don't have to interrupt the end user in order to see how their computer is functioning. Systrack is installed on-premises at our company. Check out that hosted infrastructure if you're in the market for it. In a matter of minutes, you may move from one workstation to more than 100k.

    Pros
    Cisco
    • Oh, just the ease of use. I am not an IT technical expert by trade—I’m more on the leadership side. So this makes it easy for me to understand everything that is going on and be able to provide an honest review of how the organization is doing at that particular time.

    Cons
    Cisco
    • Some features are unavailable when the network doesn't have a switch (network topology, for example)
    • I wish there was an overview for all organizations with pending firmware updates, rather than going through one-by-one.
    • I would like to have some of the switch tools available for firewall devices (port cycling, line testing).

    • Every new version brings new ideas and capabilities to the table
    • Because of the sheer volume of information available, it can be difficult to know where to begin
    • With enough time and skill, creating bespoke dashboards with meaningful titles may be effective

    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.

    Support seems very knowledgeable and provides detail summary about the call. They even follow up later to check on your case.

    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.

    Systrack is also used to provide baseline and post-change analytics for the testing of new applications and equipment. This gives me the confidence to install high-quality items that won't cause any serious problems for customers. These are just some of the useful tools Systrack offers to assess the digital experience and take appropriate action.

    Return on Investment
    Cisco
    • When there's an issue with communication to the cloud. EX: unable to fetch configs. This due to like new device being installed or if you have to factory reset the device. This has been a negative impact.
    • Incorrect status. Sometimes the status of the device or network is not reflected as it should be. This has had a negative impact in the past. However, for the most part, the Status is fairly accurate.
    • Incident response has been very good. Anytime an issue has been reported to Cisco regarding Cisco Meraki Dashboard, the issue is quickly investigated and doesn't take long to resolve.
    • Customer support and Cisco's technical team has been very helpful and responsive.

    • It was easy to install Systrack to a group of virtual workstations while doing CPU utilization analysis in a virtual environment
    • You still need specialists to discover and fix problems in your environments with Systrack, but it will save you a lot of time
