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.

- Insight into performance.
- Guest portal for parents.

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.
