Meraki Excels at Easy Scaling

Meraki is just easier to use and deploy. It’s not the cheapest option, nor is it the most feature rich or performant firewall platform. But when you need something that works and meets PCI/HIPAA compliance, with very little effort to use, this is the ideal platform for you. Meraki handles setup and management far easier than most of its competitors.

Cisco Meraki MX does the job well, but has a few caveats that could come back to bite you if you aren't careful

We continued using Cisco Meraki MX after taking over the client since they are familiar with it and enjoy the reporting it provides. We use pfSense for most new deployments as the controls it gives us are slightly better than the Cisco Meraki MX controls. That isn't to say Cisco Meraki MX is bad; it just isn't suitable for many of our clients that are multi-tenant, which is one of the weaker offerings from Meraki. For our clients that were already using Cisco Meraki MX when we adopted them, there was no reason to change, it does the job, and it does it well.

Simple, Scalable and Fully Featured

Cisco Meraki gives a simple and unified dashboard that allows the configuration and management of all function and features, where some other vendors require additional portals to manage SDWAN as an example. A single pane of glass approach is much the preferred outcome for our support engineers as well as our customers, as it means the training costs are lower and benefits are realised much quicker than with a multi-portal management approach. Meraki really do deliver on the simplified management approach but still manage to maintain expansive security protection across the network edge and all ingress/egress traffic.
