Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki MS Switches
We have over 13 CISCO switches in our environment. We have 8 port switches to 48 ports switches, including some fiber switches for our campus area network. When I started this project to switch over to Meraki, we had three different switch vendors and 3 different ISP connections on our campus. I would have to walk over to each physical network and log in to check out and troubleshoot. I first switched the firewalls of the individual network and Meraki to manage everything in one single place. I did not have to walk anymore to those networks and I then saw everything in one plane of glass. Just recently I replace all of my switches over to Meraki and it is great. I also dropped one of the ISP connections because I am able to manage guest access better. That saved me money!
- The Meraki Dashboard
- Customer Support Center
- Easiness of Use
- I would like a NOC display area.
- Easy to learn.
- Easy to deploy.
- Simple management.
We really did not evaluate any other products. We all know no one has ever been fired for buying CISCO networking. We did look at more traditional CISCO hardware, however, the price to purchase and configure was at least two times greater than buying and configuring Meraki gear. Meraki was the right choice for an Org our size.
