Cisco Meraki vMX vs. Fusion Remote Access VPN

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 some users strive for simplistic networks that are very visually appealing.

We have over 350 locations and growing. We chose Cisco Meraki vMX because of ease of use and how it scales.
