Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki MS
Meraki switches are easy to deploy in a network and can be managed from anywhere once it is online on cloud. We generally use Meraki switches as core switch to segregate traffic as per our requirement by implementing static route and also restricting traffic through ACL. Meraki PoE switches are easy for using with Access points as power requirement for those APs are easily fulfilled through it.
Pros
- Simplicity in SVI creation
- OSPF configuration on the MS is very easy to configure
- ACL configuration is something which anyone can understand and do
- Policies implementation on the ports are very easy on MS
Cons
- Policy based Routing is something which is very important features required.
- Upgradation of dual persona switch 9300 takes a lot of time and we need to upgrade it a day before the implementation.
- Proper CLI configuration should also be there on Meraki Switch
- Meraki ease of deployment is best suited
- Ease of management
- Simple dashboard configuration is best for any users
- Features like PBR and CLI management will improve the sale further
Our organization is using it in our infra and it is very easy to manage by any IT professional from anywhere in the world and one needs to just have internet access to access Meraki dashboard from anywhere.GUI interface for the Meraki is so simple that it can be easily understood and then manage by any IT professional
- Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points, Cisco Catalyst IW9165D Heavy Duty Access Point, Cisco Catalyst IW9165E Rugged Access Point and Wireless Client, Cisco Aironet 2800 Series Access Points (discontinued), Cisco Meraki MR Wireless Access Points and Cisco Meraki MT
Due to ease of management and visibility on the Dashboard it is very easy to find out what all is connected to Meraki switches and what IP is provided to them and in what VLAN they are assigned.All these things are visible on the summary page f the switches and these can be seen easily
Ease of deployment and manageability is something which is far better for Meraki compared to other devices. Hardware also is better than all other vendors in the market
