Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki MR

Cisco Meraki MR wireless access points are deployed
all over our offices and the wireless configurations are very simple and easy
to use, we love the ability to manage everything in a single pane of glass.

Integration with other Meraki products is seamless and all
MR products have a good performance and also great aesthetics.

The only downside is the price. Definitely the best cloud Managed Wifi products we ever used. ( no more roaming problems ore bad wifi performance in clients)
  • Client roaming
  • Visiblity (over the clients and trafic, SSIDs etc..)
  • Security (Firewall rules, content filtering, gest access)
  • Automatic Updates and Maintenance
  • Price and Trade up Programs
  • Reduced functionality of nonlicensed devices ( instead of turning the device into a brick)
  • Integration with on prem CISCO WLCs.
  • Reduced deployment complexity and less over all suport
  • Unfortunately the subscription costs are one of the highest in the market
  • does not have a tradup policy so you are stuck with the same AP regardless of the subcrition renewall
Cisco Meraki MR products reduced the deployment complexity and over all suport in my organization and custumers, impoving capability and enhanced the over all visiblity and analytics over trafic and clients.Routine tasks like changing SSIDs passwords and implementing 802.1X are are easy and done in minuts. Client visibility and health is priceless for troubleshooting
Cisco Meraki MR is good for integration and visibility over your entire network.
it's very easy to scale up ( add more APs) or combine multiple / different types of MR products.
Meraki console is great, has more visibility and functionalities.

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

Yes

Did implementation of Cisco Meraki MR go as expected?

Would you buy Cisco Meraki MR again?

Yes

Multiple locations geographically disperse. All types of Offices, every site with public wifi, schools, and government / public sites. Not very suited for industry and Manufacturing it needs more rugged and certified Cisco Meraki MR (extreme temperatures, corrosive gases, high humidity, etc.) Also be caution with sites with bad internet or very slow connections.
