Cisco Meraki vMX vs. Maptitude

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.

In logistics it is great for allocating customers to their nearest warehouse through a process called tagging. For marketing, you can prioritise sales leads and carry out competitor adjacency analysis. For field-based roles it's useful for calculating work content, and for membership organisations and similar situations, it can be used to look for clusters with similar interests.

• Works well with physical Meraki MX devices
• Site-to-Site VPNs are easy to set up with other Meraki devices
• Cisco Meraki vMX provides a great solution for a virtual environment, like Azure

• Integrates data from disparate sources.
• Easy to use GIS functions including drive time analysis, territory analysis, buffer and density analysis and data aggregation, geo coding.

Incentivized

• 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.

• Some functions are not intuitive and require training.
• More graphics options.
• More charting options.

Customer support has always been top-notch.

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.

Maptitude is far superior to this API. It provides the ability to utilize your data in many different ways. The only program that came close to this was Microsoft Maps, and that program is no longer supported. If you are looking for a great program to map your sales data, with several tools to help not only see and understand your data in a graphical format, Maptitude is a winner!

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

• Some users it knocks down on maintenance labor/cost
• Negative would be if you didn't really vet the feature set to the customers needs and end up having to replace it short notice.

• I used to use ultra low cost MapPoint. Maptitude, while being at a slightly higher price point, is just streets ahead of what MapPoint could do and but at a price where I don't need to charge my clients any extra for using it.
