Cisco Meraki MG

This is very well suited for internet CRITICAL applications like Fintech or any form of public services. I do think that these units can be a bit pricy for what they do, but it is worth it 100% when it saves you from a major outage.

I believe this is very scalable with the entirety of the [Cisco] Meraki [MG] architecture. Obviously, you just need to know the proper placement and expected traffic to justify the spending

For our environment, we have several substations miles apart that have Meraki APs that need to be monitored for when they go down. We use those APs for the line crew to access the necessary data to do their work. Meraki Management portal lets us see which devices are online and which ones are offline.

Cisco Meraki Management console is extremely easy for scalability. The only downside would be that it requires a yearly license for each device deployed. After having licenses the add and remove process is easy, just add the mac address and the Meraki console recognizes the device and it will allow you to add the IP address and add its location and name.

Identifying and resolving network issues requires a combination of data collection, analysis, isolation of problems, and a human with an advanced network skillset. Meraki's reporting and troubleshooting tools aim to simplify this process by providing complete visibility into the route paths and physical layout of equipment. The software includes embedded tools to remotely ping, blink LEDs, measure throughput, conduct a traceroute, cycling of ports, WOL, cable testing, remote packet captures, a learned MAC address table, and an easily understood ARP table. Meraki's love of analytics and tools to assist in improving performance is rapidly outpacing the industry with the soon-to-be-released Meraki Insights, designed to give customers visibility into performance issues beyond your own network with visibility into ISP and application-specific performance. For wireless customers, the new Meraki Wireless Health provides detailed information on wireless networks, identifying poor-performing access points and providing context, so administrators can easily and consistently improve performance. Identifying and resolving network troubles is what keeps us up at night; Meraki lets us sleep easily.

its do that perfect things

Cisco Meraki MG smplifies the route to wireless WAN connectivity and makes cellular a really good uplink option for many networks. MG21 can be used best as gateway to cellular networks, by converting LTE signal from a cellular provider to an ethernet handoff, which can be used as an internet uplink for a variety of use-cases.

THe product is highly scalable which was one of the main factors that drove the quick purchase decision. THe integration with existing WAN was smooth as well. Deployment of around 120 Meraki MGs was so easy even though we have a very small network team. The time taken was also very less.

Some of the scenarious where it is well suited:
1. If you want a non stop internet connectivity for yourself or your enterprise, then it is a great idea to use Cisco Meraki MG.
2. It uses a technology of cloud managed WAN and transposes cellulor (LTE) data signals through router for ethernet connectivity. So it is great on technology.
3. If you want a seamless internet connectivity when there is a regular ethernet connectivity failure, then it is very suitable.

Scenarious where it is less appropriate:
1. Cisco Meraki MG does not work offline. So no use if you are trying to use it without internet connectivity.

I think it is a very reliable, flexible and easy to deploy and use Internet Solution provided by Cisco. Very easy registration on web. Very user friendly in operations. Good Value for Money. Excellent ROI.

Cisco Meraki MG can be quite well suited for scenarios that require a third redundancy option at the internet service provider level, such as SDWAN, it would be a good option in case the main connectivity links are lost. It is not recommended in scenarios where the cellular signal is poor.

I give it this rating because it has allowed us to cover all the connectivity objectives that we require for sites that are difficult to access for service providers. In addition to the fact that it can be enabled very quickly and remotely without the need to have very technical people at each site.

If you are planning to bring internet to a kiosk, trade show, or to the basement where you have your server room or any other location where coaxial cables won't help you, you can always depend upon Meraki MG By Cisco. It will get you connected to the network with ease and without any cables on the way.

In terms of scalability, The MG Meraki is unvanquished! As it works on cellular signals, as long as you have the required signal strength, you are connected. Removes the dependency on cables to connect to our ISP. So geographical locations do not affect the scalability of MG. Which is the whole point of having a Cellular to Wired Ethernet Device. And it can also be managed with the web centrally.

When I have had to work online in a hurry, I have been able to connect to the WAN immediately, so I have been able to do so without stopping work. It is now useful as a BCP measure because it is now possible to back up file servers between the bases. It is very easy to manage from the Portal. FW management so far is made easier.

The portal can be managed in the cloud, allowing you to view configuration information management and software management.

Cisco Meraki MG could be used in those scenarios when you need a backup WAN uplink. Ideal for remote sites where Service Providers have no easy connections or no connections like Oil Industrial sites, Manufacturing areas, etc, etc. Cisco Meraki MG is less appropriate in those scenarios where you have already more than two Service Providers, however, you can also use it!

I really think that Cisco Meraki MG is an excellent product that can be used in any part of the organization when you need a backup uplink solution. As it is managed from the Meraki Cloud it is easy to integrate with your enterprise and any other platform you have in.

1. We can arrange the gadget without straightforwardly associating with the gadget at first.
2. Everything is Managed and arranged from the Meraki dashboard.
3. Choice to make profiles for various destinations.
4. Simple to make firewall rules and profile.
5. Simple to make VPN utilizing Auto VPN choice.
6.SSID and access point

Cisco Meraki MG has the simplest method for coordinating with any VPN administrations, and backing is all around very much made due. That why I have given this rating

These small, rugged devices can prove useful in a wide variety of use cases. For instance: Deploy network access in a location that lacks wired Internet links Configuring the MG21 as a Failover Device for Critical Connections, in Case the Primary Ethernet Connection Fails

The scalability of the product is very great as the entire Meraki platform. As I mentioned before, it is very good for places where there are no other types of connections such as fiber or mpls services. In addition, this product can be used for any type of company or service that requires a connection.
