Considered Both Products	Cisco Meraki vMX SB Sofiane Bakouri Network architect Chose Cisco Meraki vMX Meraki dashboard is easier to configure. Incentivized Helpful? Brian Krueger Senior Network Architect Chose Cisco Meraki vMX Much easier to configure and troubleshoot. Not as feature-rich. Helpful? DF David Fenech ICT Manager for infrastructure and Service Delivery Chose Cisco Meraki vMX In terms of the Cisco suite, we also have Cisco Webex Calling IP deck solution right out across our centers. That has proven to be phenomenal in terms of performance and stability. With that alone, we've cut back our incident rate of telephony related issues by half … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Cisco Meraki vMX The VMware SD wan does give some better WAN metrics, but the interface is super clunky and doesn’t support a full stack. If Meraki could give some more QoE link metrics, it would be perfect. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrator Chose Cisco Meraki vMX Cisco Meraki vMX is great for small to medium businesses. It is easy to use with little out-of-the-box configuration. There is an easier learning curve on the Cisco Meraki vMX than on the SonicWall devices. We went with the Cisco Meraki vMX because we had the physical … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User C-Level Executive Chose Cisco Meraki vMX Meraki vMX is the most simple and intuitive platform to implement. It does though miss some security features that you get in Checkpoint CloudGuard og Palo Alto Next Generation firewalls. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Cisco Meraki vMX Cisco Meraki vMX is fantastic. The only downside is cost. Licensing really is a crutch here. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Consultant Chose Cisco Meraki vMX SD-WAN AutoVPN and price. Incentivized Helpful? Matt Painter, CASP CCNP Sr. Network Engineer Chose Cisco Meraki vMX I've used the FortiGate VM appliance many times and this was much better to use, it was a full feature set and had no setbacks ever. But people use Meraki for different reasons likely so it's not 100% apples to apples. As an SR engineer, I demand deep feature sets, etc, while … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Cisco Meraki vMX
Likelihood to Recommend	Cisco I think for us in our deployment model where it spoke to the hub, it certainly makes ideal sense. I would probably say with anyone that's signed in Azure or a cloud platform, obviously VMX appliance may not be suited. Anyone on Old Legacy MPLS may struggle to see a purpose for SD-WAN overlay of the top. But I think if you really want to introduce network communications that are low cost effective, solid in terms of availability and performance, a Meraki sdwan solution with the VMX appliance in the cloud is ideal.

Pros	Cisco It handles load really well. It brings simplification to the whole piece of networking network, so it makes it simple for us to diagnose and troubleshoot issues put in place as changes. It has pretty good site to site firewall control. It works well in Azure, so it ticks all our boxes. Incentivized DF David Fenech ICT Manager for infrastructure and Service Delivery Read full review
Cons	Cisco Client VPN: Cisco Meraki vMX in general needs to implement multiple VPN profiles/ group policies for client VPN Alerts: Cisco Meraki vMX in general should be more consistent in sending alerts. We should receive alarms instantly. Event logs: More in-depth event logs for all Meraki products, such as system crashes, etc. Incentivized Malte Bredevang Zielinski Network and Security Consultant Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Cisco Cisco Meraki vMX is great for small to medium businesses. It is easy to use with little out-of-the-box configuration. There is an easier learning curve on the Cisco Meraki vMX than on the SonicWall devices. We went with the Cisco Meraki vMX because we had the physical appliances already in place and the virtual appliance tied into our system seamlessly. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Scalability	Cisco This question is hard. A chain of retail or gas stations hypothetically that have simple networks in nature would flourish and scale quite well with Meraki. A chain of banks or something more complex that has more complex requirements doesn't scale very well or at least presents many caveats. Routing has always been a big setup with Meraki but I've always managed to 'get by'. Incentivized Matt Painter, CASP CCNP Sr. Network Engineer Read full review
Return on Investment	Cisco Standardizing: We can use the same "template" setup for multiple customers Management: Easy to manage along with the rest of the Meraki products Stability: Using Cisco Meraki vMX instead of VNGs in Azure provides better stability with auto-VPN between the Cisco Meraki vMX and other networks Incentivized Malte Bredevang Zielinski Network and Security Consultant Read full review
