User Testimonials
	Cisco Meraki Z3 Teleworker (discontinued)	NordVPN
Likelihood to Recommend	Cisco 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 Incentivized Jorge E. Cantillo C.

Usability	Cisco No answers on this topic	Nord Security Not quite perfect. When using at home, some travel software does not function Incentivized John Wood CTC President Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Cisco 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. Incentivized Joshua Van Camp Security & Infrastructure Engineer Read full review	Nord Security It is an inexpensive and simple tool. It offers better speed and minimal ping.

Scalability	Cisco The product is very scalable due to its implementation to the Meraki cloud and SD-WAN capabilities. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Nord Security No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Cisco Good visibility for IT team so we can monitor and validate the teleworker traffic Zero Touch Provisioning so we do not need to send a Engineer to configure it. Consumer-grade network security Incentivized Jorge E. Cantillo C. Network Consulting Engineer Read full review	Nord Security My work load is more improve and easy now great protection from online threat. speed is little bit slow but i can managed.
