Normally, Cisco Meraki MX helps to manage devices by making them on the cloud. So administration users can easily see the device status and network status and do configurations as required on the move. This gives solid experience in managing the network by reducing implementation and troubleshooting time. Also, an alert system helps keep incidents lower.
Cisco Meraki MX is flexible in deploying between multiple departments or sites. But when it comes to VPN section, Meraki MX lacks granular traffic control. It has a global rule table for all VPN rules, making things a bit harder to manage per the custom needs, such as blocking and allowing some traffic.
