Pros
Cisco
  • I think it integrates very well with Meraki, and that's the best thing I like about this product. Meraki is all about simplicity, and when a customer has the same user interface to get their network and security experience just right out of the Meraki dashboard, it really works. Very great. For example, if you want to secure the internet user, you want to use any, sorry, you want to secure any application, you want to secure any brand, it's just a matter of minutes. You can do it.

Cons
Cisco
  • For teams which are growing, it is very costly to purchase the capabilities that protects the business and even identifying the right subscription like advance threat protection.
  • The one who does not have any advance or high level Cisco Secure Connect experience, for them it is hard to use the Cisco Secure Connect UI. So, you should make the UI quite extra user friendly.
  • Finding the root cause is very tricky for large datasets.
  • Third party integrations are also not that easy with Cisco.

  • Initial setup is not straight forward and could do with some simplification.
  • Could do with a specific dashboard for each remote office.
  • An easier way to share filters between users and menus would be useful.
