The Cisco Meraki SD-WAN solution provides an extremely user-friendly method of connecting multiple sites together via an SD-WAN mesh. We have implemented this solution at several customer sites, to provide end-to-end connectivity across multiple service providers. Based on the simplicity of the Meraki interface it can be implemented extremely quickly.
  • Ease of use
  • Low cost
  • Easy to troubleshoot
  • No 'knobs' to dial.
  • Everything must be cookie cutter.
  • No control over external ISPs.
The Cisco Meraki SD-WAN solution is extremely well suited to configurations where a user's technical ability is limited, or available equipment is limited. It provides a user-friendly method of connecting multiple sites together via an SD-WAN mesh. This works great when multiple sites across multiple ISPs need to be connected together. The best part about the Meraki interface is how quickly it can be deployed into production.

We are using Cisco Meraki SD-WAN at our customer site. We are currently busy with a project where we are linking 17 sites via SD-WAN on mixed Merakis. We are using Z3 teleworkers at the smaller site with MX84's at the bigger sites. We are also implementing the end point of the Hub in Azure.
  • The natting function works really well. Even if you are behind a router with NAT, it still translates the traffic.
  • Security is a big benefit as you can define that only certain elements go across the VPN (SD-WAN).
  • It would really help if it had more detailed reporting.
  • Traffic flow lacks visual reporting.
As far as I am concerned, you can use Cisco Meraki SD-WAN in any type of environment. Small to enterprise businesses can easily benefit from the security and ease of use. From blocking social media to scale bandwidth for certain applications like VoIP, Cisco Meraki SD-WAN is an easy sell and install. All can be done from one portal, which makes this really easy to manage
Fast and efficient. The only issue currently is that the support is only overseas support and not in South Africa, which causes delays in resolution for some cases. Escalating issues is quite simple and the opening of new cases from the dashboard is easy. I have never had a support issue that could not be resolved.

We currently use the SD-Wan Meraki solution for our remote offices. We started using it 3 years ago, in Colombia, with the challenge of delivering a simple, functional, autonomous, and secure solution. Today, we have the same model deployed in 3 different countries.
  • Simplicity in management
  • Competitive cost
  • Scalability
  • HTTPs Inspection (Meraki)
  • 4G chip usage without modem (Meraki)
  • Use more than 2 links (Meraki)
  • Well suited: Office operations
  • Less appropriate: Complex scenarios involving information security
Fast and effective support, even at a cost slightly above competitors.
