Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki Insight

We use Cisco Meraki as a central management tool for network infrastructure. Our wireless access points, environment sensors, and network switches are all adopted and controlled from this system, enabling us to schedule firmware upgrades, closely monitor faults, and detect and report environmental conditions around our buildings.

Pros

  • Configuration options.
  • Easy to use Dashboard.
  • Reporting

Cons

  • Menu layout.
  • Email notifications.
  • Adoption process.
  • Streamlined Management processes.
  • Centralised hardware visibility and maintenance.
  • Enabled delegation of controls.
Just about every department we've been asked to provide access to has been able to utilize this system. Be it from a CCTV perspective or for environment reporting, Cisco Meraki Insight can fit into this situation with ease, and without a great deal of training, our users found the system very intuitive.
Previous solutions we've used generally came at a large expense; the licensing was complicated to understand and then needed additional 'bolts on.' Cisco Meraki insight we found to be more aligned to an education budget, simpler to license, and generally understand the terms and conditions being asked of us.

Did Cisco Meraki Insight live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Cisco Meraki Insight go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Cisco Meraki Insight again?

Yes

We found that Cisco Meraki is well suited to our education environment. Utilized across a central network (although it could easily be cloud-connected), we use this system to monitor (in real-time) network events. Our Wi-Fi network is a good example; we can easily issue guest Wi-Fi codes and even delegate access to code generation to our reception teams so that they can issue them to guests.
