Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki MR

So we use Cisco Meraki MR in our organization to leverage the wireless infrastructure in our manufacturing environment, and that could be in our distribution area or our production areas. It allows for fast communication between the devices when the individuals are picking devices to ship out to our customers.

Pros

  • First of all, it's easy to use, easy to set up, maintain. The interface for Cisco Meraki systems is very intuitive. The tools are right at the tip of your fingers, so you're not spending a lot of time trying to dive into multiple points to find where there's an issue. It's really quick and easy to find those things that you're looking for when you're trying to troubleshoot.

Cons

  • I feel like probably just more integration with the Cisco line of things. I'm really hoping that they'll eventually bring it more into the Cisco Catalyst Center software for management, troubleshooting and stuff like that.
  • It's been very positive. As I stated before, just the ease of getting it set up and in place. It cuts down on time there so that I can be able to be more agile and working on other things that I need to take care of.
It's allowed, it's allowed me to stand up buildings very quickly because of that ease of use and knowing that I'm going to set this up and I set it to a profile, it's going to get everything that I want it to and none of the things that I don't want to tap.
We're starting to use some IoT devices from Meraki. We're looking at temperature sensors, humidity sensors, some cameras for our data rooms.
We've had tremendous success in scaling it. When I started with the company four years ago, we probably had, I would say roughly 200 now. We're up to well over 600 devices at this point.
We looked at HP and their products, their Aruba products. We actually entertain looking at some of Cisco's products. The problem is once you start down a path with a technology that you choose and you get pretty deep down that path, it's very hard to try to change, especially when something's working so well.

And even as you grow into this profession, it's still a very good product.
