    I believe it is well suited for "pop-up" offices of a small number of people. 5 to 10 is ideal. It can be setup with a minimum of involvement from the IT infrastructure group. It is a very simple way to connect a remote site securely and quickly with the confidence that the connection will be stable. I believe it is less suited for a large organization requiring complex routing and routing protocols. It only works with Meraki endpoints and so there must be Meraki firewalls at both ends. It cannot be used with IPSEC tunnels

    Our organization found that Cyberoam is a cost-effective solution compared to other vendors. Cyberoam was having issues with SSO for Web Filtering. For, web filtering and application blocking, Cyberoam does not contain enough signatures or data so we can not achieve the goal of all of the sites that need to be blocked. Cyberoam is great because of its ease of use feature.

    Pros
    Cisco
    • I really like the firewalls and the access points, like the wireless ones. From a wireless access point perspective, we recently moved to the new MR57s, multi-gig bandwidth as well as Wi-Fi 6, which helps users connect wirelessly regardless of where they sit in the office. The experience they get doesn’t matter wherever they move—it’s fantastic. So we’ve moved from the previous iteration of Meraki Access Points to the new iteration, like two weeks ago, and we’ve seen a major shift in the user experience.

    Cons
    Cisco
    • I personally think that this particular place is on the logging side. I have seen where the event log is that what they call in terms of capturing all the log events is the area which I personally feel can actually be improved. Even this could be similar, like how I said about packet capture where you could have a flexibility of having a high level information or deep level regardless you should have that kind of option where you could also see the logging site as granular as per the requirement. So that's the area which I think is a bit little behind compared to other vendors.

    • Without mentioning an alternative brand, there is another leading company who has updated with firewall UI quite a bit. They offer an expanded line-up to meet a wider array of needs including specific appliances for web caching, proxy servers, and other products that have the same and familiar UI across the products. Each of the products does have some overlap so that customers can choose the right appliance for their use case.
    • After being acquired by Sophos, we saw our year-over-year costs escalate significantly since our original maintenance contract. They should consider revisiting the pricing, especially for education.
    • They should consider a current market analysis and see how the market is changing and adapting with other lower cost appliances for their product line up.

    Because so far the solution showed great stability during the time, easy to use and deploy. There is still room for improvements like adding a smarter way to manage the policies to apply to the tunneled traffic, today the way to configure and manage them is quite old style, It would be better an "object" oriented way to create them.

    Fast and efficient. The only issue currently is that the support is only overseas support and not in South Africa, which causes delays in resolution for some cases. Escalating issues is quite simple and the opening of new cases from the dashboard is easy. I have never had a support issue that could not be resolved.

    We did a very stringent valuation a few years ago. And we evaluated probably about a dozen suppliers on paper that we evaluate just by capabilities. And, we of some other business criteria, and we whittled that down to a list of five. And out of those five, we brought four of those into our lab environment where we ran approximately 350 different test cases on, we really beat on it pretty heavily. And some of those other suppliers would've been companies like Fortinet Versa Networks Silver Peak, which is now owned by Hewlett Packard.

    The main factor is cost, as we are a startup organization. That's the main reason we choose Cyberoam stacks up against other network security services.

    With the implementation of Cisco Meraki SD-WAN on our new site, this has enabled us to optimize the bandwidth of our 3 links. Thanks to this, updates pushed by Microsoft Intune, such as Microsoft CRM operations, are running smoothly. The same applies to SAP and our Teams meetings. And I almost forgot our Cisco telephone system.

    Return on Investment
    Cisco
    • Cisco Meraki SD-WAN gave us a new perspective on SDN, ZTP and other automation tools we didn't have before
    • The sizing of Meraki MX series cannot compete very large and robust networks, only if we use virtual appliances. In this case, I would recommend on other vendors like Fortinet

    • Considerable change was noted in the utilization of administrators after switching from the software firewall.
    • It is relatively better priced when compared to fortigate.
    • Better log handling after the switch.
