User Testimonials
	Cisco Meraki MR Wireless Access Points
Likelihood to Recommend	Cisco It's ideal if the company frequently uses mobile devices that need to work on Wi-Fi. It's also ideal if a company has multiple locations. Cisco Meraki MR Wireless Access Points can then be easily deployed and managed via a central Meraki Dashboard. It also offers a powerful content filtering feature within the Cisco Meraki environment. This can be particularly useful for guest networks and in locations where certain content cannot be downloaded, such as a school.It's less suitable if a company has a limited IT budget and the network needs to be continuously expanded. In those cases, the associated license costs can quickly add up. In factories or other robustly built environments, RF tuning isn't feasible. As a result, the signal quality can sometimes be somewhat reduced. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Pros	Cisco It's cloud based, so as long as we have an internet connection, we can access it. Whenever we push a change, it's one stop like a single pane of glass to manage all our equipment. And so that's what I liked about it. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Cons	Cisco It can expand its radio range in terms of distance reach It can improve it's design as it looks like a plain flat brick I would like to see more integration with security Better solution in segmenting and authentication like clearpass Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Cisco It is a solution that works very well. It is almost like setup and forget, since the solution works. When issues occur, documentation is available with detailed steps on how to solve this problems you are facing, of course Technical Support is always ready to help. We have had instances where an Access Point fails and within 2 days we have the replacement Incentivized Jose Angel Garcia Acting Network Engineer Read full review
Usability	Cisco To get basic functionality doesn't take long. Set up a new Meraki Dashboard activate the licenses and get internet connection for the APs and you are more or less done. The Dashboard will find your items and you're good to go. Incentivized Claes Brusefalt Sales Specialist Networking Read full review
Reliability and Availability	Cisco We have been deploying Meraki since last 8 years and even the first one deployed seems to be working fine till now! Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Support Rating	Cisco We have not had any issues with the Meraki WiFi Access Point hardware but we did encounter a problem with a Meraki LAN switch that failed to power up. Upon a email into the Meraki Support, they promptly called back and we went over some quick tests to determine a power supply problem. A replacement LAN switch was sent to me the next day. Victor Lau Network Architect Read full review
Implementation Rating	Cisco There were documents that detailed how the WiFi Access Point was to be installed and mounted. The only issue was to cable the device, we use a third party for this type of work and typically has to be performed after normal business hours. Other than that, the installation was easy. Victor Lau Network Architect Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Cisco We were more on a Cisco Wireless Controller set up, which takes a lot longer to control and that's why we've actually gone through a cloud-based product, which is very easy compared with the old traditional way that we used to have. It's more ease of software. They've got very similar features, but it's easy to set up and maintain into the future. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Scalability	Cisco As far as I know, it's 10. I mean, because like I said, I manage stuff in the south. I have coworkers that manage it in the north. And so the scalability of it to be able to be go in and see the configurations of the ones in the north as well as they can see in the south. So across the board, it works really well for how widespread out it is. Incentivized James Taylor Server and Network Administrator Read full review
Return on Investment	Cisco Uptime has improved significantly. The dashboard automatically keeps devices up to date by scheduling upgrades at remote times (say 2am on a Sunday) Swapping to Cisco Meraki MR Wireless Access Points has reduced the management overhead. No more long controller software hardware upgrades and obviously no more need for beefy central controllers. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
