    Chose Meraki Go
    I would use Cisco Meraki Go for small business needs. I would rather use the full Cisco Meraki system for anything more than five people. Cisco Meraki Go is cheaper but regular Meraki is far more robust.

    Was trying to add Dell Aerohive and Unifi as well but it couldn't find those. We had tried out Meraki, Meraki Go, Aerohive, Aruba and Unifi and ended up with the single site use case going with Meraki Go for ease of use/deployment as well as low cost vs Meraki. In general it …

    Cisco Meraki is much more secure; I haven't had a single data leak. With Ubiquiti, I had two of my Shopify payment accounts hacked because someone was able to find my password while I was supposedly on a secure Ubiquiti connection. I believe that their speed was alright but did …

    If you are with Cisco classic wireless, which is on premises-based and all your ap are in flex mode, it will be very difficult to manage. And you need extra hardware to get the report for the users. But in Cisco Meraki Go, we will be getting everything in a single dashboard.

    Cisco
    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.

    Pros
    Cisco
    • Cheap and fast hotspot supporting multiple simultaneous clients.
    • Guest control through a Captive portal.
    • They work with the 802.11ac Wave 2 protocol.
    • They direct the WiFi signal directly to the client that is accessing the internet and increase the quality of the signal.
    • Managed in the cloud and accessed via the web

    Cons
    Cisco
    • 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.

    Support Rating
    Cisco
    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.

    Scalability
    Cisco
    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.

    Return on Investment
    Cisco
    • 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.
