    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

    • Provide package for Linux systems as well.
    • Pricing is still not friendly for casual users.
    • Allow API integration with web application.

    At the time of implementation, we were not aware of a comparable product from Cisco or comparative vendor. We had initially deployed the Z1 appliance and had so much success that the transition to the Cisco Meraki Z3 Teleworker was a quick and easy fit for us. The device is easy to deploy and just works.

    Although AWS WAF is really nice and convenient, it only runs on a web application level, no doubt it has no match in that particular segment, and it is prone to vendor locking. Comodo on the other hand provides better service on the system and network level. if you have to choose a better UI, Comodo is the best solution
