Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki MR
Been using Meraki wireless since before they were acquired by Cisco for our users guest internet and some corporate data. We do like the per client bandwidth throttling, the scanning wireless radio that looks for look alike SSID's, the layer 7 rules to block undesired content, and many of the other security features. Users can bring their own device add it to the WIFI and access their news site or check Facebook; they can't download torrents of movies.
- Layer 7 traffic shaping and per-client bandwidth limits.
- Access Control
- Cloud management portal is easy to use
- Support is knowledgeable
- Devices become an attractive doorstop when unlicensed
- Re-licensing is costly - all wireless costs the same to re-license regardless of age
- Others devices and companies in this space have offerings that don't do this
- Scanning Wireless AP - for Air Marshall. Looks for unauthorized AP's on your network and looks for evil twin AP's
- Can broadcast multiple SSID's
- VLAN Support
- Access Control & traffic Shaping
- Easy to use for employees
- Quickly troubleshoot any issues
- Detailed reporting shows popular sites and usage
- Can separate the corporate network from guest - can make more guest SSIDs as needed.
