Meraki switches are easy to deploy in a network and can be managed from anywhere once it is online on cloud. We generally use Meraki switches as core switch to segregate traffic as per our requirement by implementing static route and also restricting traffic through ACL. Meraki PoE switches are easy for using with Access points as power requirement for those APs are easily fulfilled through it.
Meraki switches are well suited for the environment like retail and small offices and schools and it is highly recommended to avoid using it in enterprise environment where so many complex configuration are required and many of those are not supported on the Meraki switches although day by day Meraki is giving new feature to its switches
At some locations we use Meraki full stack, so we have a variety of switch for core and access layers. But at almost every other location we use them only to split the WAN service between 2 routers. For this we use a basic 8 port switch, which is all we need for this purpose.
These switches are great for quick and easy deployments. If you have people with little knowledge about networking, they won't struggle to maintain and operate these devices. An experienced network engineer could quickly start noticing issues, like lack of logging management (you cannot enable/disable logs) or the need of the switch to have a connection to Meraki cloud in order to be able to manage it.
