Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki MS
I work for Deutsche telekom, and we install MS devices for end customers. We use Cisco Meraki MS switches a lot for customer installations from MS120 to MS130 to MS 390 or 9300. whether in the access or core area via a flexible stack. The rollout and operation of the devices are quick and easy. The dashboard offers many options for this.
Pros
- Simple administration and configuration
- Software update and management
- Operation and replacement of the devices in the event of a fault
Cons
- Spanning tree configuration (MST, Per-VLAN)
- Exchange of devices from different model series incl. migration of the configuration
- Better event logging and troubleshooting options for error analysis
- Fast installation, therefore no major implementation costs
- Operation via the cloud possible from any location, personnel savings
- Very good support possible, RMA within 24 hours
Due to the simplicity of Cisco Meraki MS's administration, employees can be trained quickly. People without technical training can make changes to the port configuration independently. Several ports can be customized and administered at the same time. This saves time and money. Also, no cli knowledge is required. Perfect for first-level support
For installing a wifi solution, I have several times integrated Cisco Meraki access points into the Meraki MS solution. The APs were connected to the switch via Poe. Thanks to the integration, information from the MR could be read out and processed. In addition to integrating the access points, sensors and camera systems for our customer systems could also be connected.
Deutsche telekom is a Cisco partner; we work together and market Meraki customers to our customers. Solutions are tested and installed and deployed at the customer's premises based on requirements. depending on the customer's situation, a wide range of products are used. MR, MS, MT, MV depending on the customer's requirements, the right product is used and tested together with me and the customer
