Cisco Meraki Go vs. Guest Internet Solutions vs. SonicWall SonicWave Series

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.

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.

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.

We evaluated Aruba and then evaluated SonicWall. SonicWall had fewer features, but it was cost-effective and suitable for our budget. Aruba, on other hand, was a dedicated WiFi solution and it was way costlier than SonicWall firewall and access point together, hence we selected SonicWall Sonicwave for our branch offices and Aruba for our head office where user count is more, and even management users are present in head office.

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.
