Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki MX
We use Cisco Meraki MX firewalls at all of our sites that form our SD-WAN. We get fantastic visibility of our network, the clients, settings and how much data is being used, and by who. We have extended our WAN to include home offices (using Teleworkers) and also added in Wi-Fi Access points. Essentially our complete network is managed in a single dashboard. The ability to create policies based on device is fantastic. We can quickly isolate who is using all the data, or any rogue devices. We have a mix of devices depending upon the office size. MX65 at large offices, MX64 at smaller ones, and Z3 devices where the office is only 1 or 2 people. We can configure and manage everything, such as speed tests, DHCP, Group Policies, VPN endpoints and Wi-Fi. Alerts and reporting is so easy to setup and use. The Meraki suite of devices is invaluable in our company.

The ease of deployment makes things simple. It really is plug and play and once the device is online, the final configuration and setup is easy. I sometimes think it is too easy as you begin to worry that things have been missed!
We have added in Access Points (MR33) and Smart Cameras.
