I love Cisco Meraki MX
- Licenses are very expensive for MX
- Simplicity and very easy use simplify changes
- Easy to deploy in multiple remote networks
The entire Meraki product line is extremely reliable, easy to manage, and cost effective
- Implementing Meraki solutions has allowed us to expand our business opportunities beyond our local footprint.
- One of our business goals is to reduce customer downtime and Meraki has simplified this process with detailed logging to help identify issues causing customer issues.
- The cloud Managed interface allows us to manage Meraki products from anywhere. I recall one day when I was a passenger in a vehicle and I was able to restart Meraki devices (while someone else was driving), from my phone.
Cisco Meraki MX Works for Us
- Allowed us to move to less expensive Synchronous Internet connections from private lines.
- The appliances and licensing for a large number of sites can be expensive.
- Allows us to let local traffic exit to SaaS Cloud directly instead of through the home site.
Cisco Meraki MXs are perfect for IT personnel. With great performance, reliability, and ease of use!
- VPN tunnel between locations has been up 99% of the time in the 7 years that I have used the Cisco Meraki MXs in my current position. That does not include ISP issues because, in my mind, that shouldn't dictate the performance of the Cisco Meraki MXs.
- Sometimes we get phishing emails with malicious links in them. We are able to block the URLs on our network using the Cisco Meraki MXs, and the appliance configuration sets in less than a minute. Blocking that link for anyone over VPN or on the LAN.
- The interface is really simple and configuration is a breeze, which makes deploying a new Cisco Meraki MX really fast and easy. Replacing an Cisco Meraki MX is even easier, Just remove the old and add the new and all the configuration stays for the new appliance to use. Saves so much time and money.
- The biggest thing is we have not had really any issues with any of our Cisco Meraki MXs going down in the past 7 years. The reliability with these devices are amazing.
