Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki Dashboard

We use Cisco Meraki Dashboard as the platform to power our cloud-managed switches and access points. We connect Meraki temperature, humidity, and water leak detection sensors to this network to monitor environmental changes in our computer rooms. This single pane of glass view of all our facilities and real-time alerting is to prove extremely beneficial, not only in reducing downtime but ensuring safety as well.

Pros

  • Real-time alerting
  • Smart connectivity
  • Data-driven insights and reporting

Cons

  • Alternative sensor connectivity methods
  • Simplify subscription pricing
  • Advanced configuration options restricted on some devices
  • Enabled us to replace our legacy environmental sensors with a modern fit the future solution
  • Enabled us to report on energy consumption which is important for our sustainability ambitions
  • Reduced complexity for our on call engineers with a single pane of glass view
The interface of the Cisco Meraki Dashboard is very intuitive, centralising management of our cloud managed switches, access points, and sensors into one place. The simple, visual design and well thought out navigation makes it very accessible and enables us to share it with teams other than our core network team as required.

Cisco Meraki Dashboard is well suited to those looking for a user-friendly dashboard that doesn't require on-premise management infrastructure. It's not well suited in scenarios where a stable internet connection or limited advanced configuration options for certain features on some devices is a concern, particularly for those with complex network setups requiring fine-tuned control.
