Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki MR

We use Cisco Meraki for our wireless needs, we have many iPads and tablets for teachers to use. It is running throughout the entire building and has been providing great coverage. We use the wireless for mobile connection and the ability to not need hard lined connections as the building is older and can [be] hard to run those kind of lines.
  • Easy to use.
  • Cost effective.
  • Insight into usage.
  • Better troubleshooting tool.
  • Better logs.
  • Subscription fee.
  • Traffic Shaping.
  • Guest portal.
  • Insight into performance.
  • Guest portal for parents.
  • Ability to control students from teachers bandwidth.
  • Less management on tech side.
Meraki MR had a lot more features and [we] liked the dashboard feel and how they organized it more than the other vendors. I also know that Cisco is a good brand and have heard of them a lot more. The deployment was very easy from what I read online compared to Ubiquiti which did require extra hardware.

Would you buy Cisco Meraki MR again?

Yes

Meraki wireless has been great for us, having a small tech team of 1 person, not having to manage a complex wireless system has been very helpful. The solution works well for us and I assume slightly larger companies also. I could see the subscription fees adding up so maybe there are better ways to manage that.

Using Cisco Meraki MR

very easy to use, clean and fast web site to interface with. The insights and warning are helpful if there is something that is not working as expected
