    The Cisco Meraki Z3 Teleworker appliance was ideal for scenarios where the remote worker spent the majority of their time remote. It alleviates the need for VPN software and gives the IT staff additional visibility into the connectivity of the user. We often encountered scenarios where the users broadband was having issues vs the Meraki network and the tools Meraki provides help to work through these scenarios. The case for the Meraki devices is not as strong for occasional users who cannot justify the cost of the appliance vs just logging in via VPN.

    Cons
    Cisco
    • When Internet is lost and come back we need to reset the Z3 device from the dashboard in order to register the IP Phone to CUCM
    • It would be nice to manage the Z3 device to a local web portal just for TS
    • Max Speed 100Mbps. It would be nice if it could run up to 1GB
