Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki MG

The biggest advantage is being able to operate from the portal, there is no need to "punch" the port on the WAN side for monitoring. No matter how much you limit the destination IP of the connection, the act of opening the port on the WAN side is extremely worrisome. It's a little scary to think that it should be the gateway to data leaks and attacks, but we don't have to worry at all and can handle it with Cisco Meraki MG.
  • Updates can be run from the portal, which eliminates a lot of sensitive parts.
  • From managing configuration information to checking current status and managing software releases, you can do it all with a single portal.
  • If you use Cisco Meraki MG, you don't want to manage it by connecting to network devices with SSH, etc.
  • A DHCP configuration would be fine, but a fixed IP configuration seems to require a twist in the configuration.
  • If possible, it's just a subscription. With no initials and just a subscription, I think it's a "feature product" that may convince the superior even if the price is a bit high.
  • I am happy with wireless and all in one, but I feel that the management screen is old, so I think it is better to renew it a bit more.

  • I want to easily manage while performing WAN between bases, I want to check the equipment even when I am out.
  • There are many devices that can perform inter-base WAN due to internal requirements, but all except Meraki are rejected in terms of checking out.
  • Introduced internally and proposed, Meraki was well received because it can be easily handled.
The biggest merit is that you can query the device from anywhere as long as you can connect to the Internet. Since the license fee becomes a bottleneck, it is good to keep in mind that the equipment maintenance fee is included.
The portal can be managed in the cloud, allowing you to view configuration information management and software management.
When I have had to work online in a hurry, I have been able to connect to the WAN immediately, so I have been able to do so without stopping work. It is now useful as a BCP measure because it is now possible to back up file servers between the bases. It is very easy to manage from the Portal. FW management so far is made easier.
