Considered Both Products	Cisco Meraki MG Verified User Team Lead Chose Cisco Meraki MG Those were more hard to deploy and the management not that intuitive as Meraki is. Maybe those devices are able to perform more things but my guess is that the simplicity in some case is the best approach, it's not always required having the full portfolio of functionalities, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose Cisco Meraki MG Create points are more manual to configure however they are highly configurable a lot more specific settings that can be done. Meraki MG’s are not as mobile as cradle points Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Cisco Meraki MG We selected Meraki MG for it cloud management capabilities Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Cisco Meraki MG The only other cellular provider that we've evaluated was, I think it was called Sky Link, and it was a little USB module that plugged into the Meraki MXs and we had nothing but problems with it, which is why we ended up switching to the MG 20 ones. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Cisco Meraki MG Before the Cisco Meraki MG, Vodafone GigaCubes were used. They are also great devices but don't integrate into the Meraki dashboard. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Cisco Meraki MG Stacks up well and integrates well with the Meraki product line. Incentivized Helpful? JO Jorge Ortega IT Chose Cisco Meraki MG Both products are similar to each other, they both are flexible and have the ability to expand and downgrade. Cisco Meraki Management seems to be a more secure product, but it comes with a higher price tag. Cisco Meraki management portal seems to have more integrations with … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Cisco Meraki MG We checked many vendors. ALU was a primary contender. However, their acccess points are not primarily designed for cellular use case. Cellular is just an additional feature on their fully loaded APs. The fact that MEraki MG is suited for this particular use case was a major … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Cisco Meraki MG Cisco Meraki MG is the first product in this domain that I have used. So may not be able to draw a comparison with competitors. However whatever I have experienced till now has been very good. I can say that it is worth it's value. Helpful? Abhijith Menon Solutions Engineer Chose Cisco Meraki MG Although both products come from the same family, there are drastic differences between them. When it comes to the MX, it's all about security. It might not perform like the latter, but the security it provides is really good. It is a good enterprise WAN Solution, but still, … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Cisco Meraki MG
Likelihood to Recommend	Cisco It is perfect for WAN redundant connectivity when Cellular 5G is available; It solve temporary issues on delays with delivery of ISP connectivity. It plays a great role in SD-WAN environments due to the overall flexibility in combination with MXs and the wan selection based on the state of the art condition of the connectivity. It fits less in those scenario where there are multiple spots with iot devices requiring internet connectivity due to the cost, in that case it could be hard the ROI.

Pros	Cisco It's fantastic for being in the Meraki dashboard and actually looking at quality of signal. I can look at up times, down times, ease of use when it comes to if I would have to reboot the MG 21E in case it does have a problem. Overall reliability: since we switched to the MG 21 E, we've rarely have a problem with it when it comes to the cellular performance going down. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Cisco From a user aspect, to just a provider of the internet source for myself, they're very easy to set up. I don't have any real complaints over it. We use T-Mobile as our cellular provider, so there is some limitations on the signal strength and coverage. We could use AT&T, but the integration between the Meraki T system and our preexisting corporate AT&T account, there seems to be no integrations there. So that's where I would say the limitations are. I would prefer that the AT&T onboarding allows us to connect to our corporate AT&T wireless account.

Scalability	Cisco In terms of scalability, The MG Meraki is unvanquished! As it works on cellular signals, as long as you have the required signal strength, you are connected. Removes the dependency on cables to connect to our ISP. So geographical locations do not affect the scalability of MG. Which is the whole point of having a Cellular to Wired Ethernet Device. And it can also be managed with the web centrally. Incentivized Abhijith Menon Solutions Engineer Read full review
Return on Investment	Cisco I want to easily manage while performing WAN between bases, I want to check the equipment even when I am out. There are many devices that can perform inter-base WAN due to internal requirements, but all except Meraki are rejected in terms of checking out. Introduced internally and proposed, Meraki was well received because it can be easily handled. Incentivized Julia Maria Martinez Market Specialist Read full review
