I am definitely highlighting the same themes of reliability, ease of management, and scalability. Everything Cisco Meraki MR puts out is what I would consider to be industry standard. With a team that isn't as networking savvy as others, we have been able to grow comfortably …
When considering a solution you need you really need to take into account the environments that you are deploying into. If you request something that is fully configurable, then you are more likely to deploy the Cisco Catalyst controller. With the Meraki solution, one of the …
Cisco WLC controllers are good but not a scalable option. We have 10 deployed and it is a pain to keep them all updated on the same code without DNAC. I just love to deploy with a controller that needs the APs to check into. Cisco Meraki MR is one big controller for multiple …
We chose this Meraki firewall for the same reasons as our other equipment, for its ease of implementation, but also to have all our Meraki products visible on the same console. Its use is identical to that of switches or Wi-Fi kiosks; all you have to do is set it up via the …
I would personally always recommend Meraki over the above for ease of deployment and management. My only reservation is you feel like you never really own the equipment... its more like you're leasing it and that the end it all just stops working. Where with the above products, …
The Cradlepoints can also serve as wireless access point devices, but can have phone provider SIM cards added to them for internet connectivity, which is good as a backup route or for mobile vehicles. However, for office locations we use the Meraki access points, because of how …
Meraki for the easier choice. Lately Meraki have climbed up the ladder with the new MS390 widening the offer. For me I see Meraki for the small/mid market customer and Cisco Classic more for the bigger customer with more specific needs. But security must follow along with the …
I've used a lot of wireless access points in the past, and I can say that Cisco Meraki MR is probably the easiest for me to use and configure. It may not necessarily be cutting-edge technology. Still, in my experience, people trying to run on the cutting edge usually try not to …
Meraki - ease of management. Negative - cost device and annual licensing, especially we comparing Meraki APs to Ubiquiti. This becomes a harder selling point because of the comparative cost.
The Meraki MX is more of a firewall than a wireless access point, though some models do provide wireless capabilities. Can be useful as a gateway for the MRs or in a location where a single device is needed but additional ports, VPN, or other firewall-like functionality is …
[Cisco] Meraki [MR] costs more but generally seems to work better for us. Our older Ubiquiti kit seemed to struggle with people roaming across the building, especially with Macbooks. We have had no such issues with [Cisco[ Meraki [MR].
Metals is a cloud-based management portal for their MR AP with is best and none have the same functionality. We can manage and deploy access points from anywhere in the world. All we have to engage is just physical installation. As of today, Aruba can offer anything close to …
