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.

It is not necessary for a call center to use a secure network, but network admins need HPA. The reasoning behind this is that securing private access is so important.

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.

Alternatives Considered
Cisco
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.
