Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki MX

We are a Cisco Meraki MX partner and sell all Meraki solutions, including wifi and security services. Sometimes, we find that Mx products are simple and can’t do many things that we could have done in the past with the Cisco Asas. We would like to perform sources nats or also split dns like in fortunate or sonic wall firewalls
  • AutoVPN
  • Integration with Umbrella and other cisco products
  • Cisco secure client VPN
  • Simplicity and easy to use
  • More complexed NATs , PATS, source NATs, VPN NATs, etc…
  • Some snort rules doesn’t applies sometimes
  • Split dns tunneling
  • Licenses are very expensive for MX
  • Simplicity and very easy use simplify changes
  • Easy to deploy in multiple remote networks
We have a lot of remote sites and can manage autovpn automatically with a few clicks on a simple dashboard
We can follow and trace all the users and their traffic send to the network. Using this full Meraki stack allow us to see where a client is connected, where is it tracking their WiFi connections and inspecting their traffic
We found a few bugs when we try to deploy large networks on hotels and other big spaces with a lot of users concentration.
i would not recommend Meraki on this cases, but for most of campus or medium deployment on remote branches or a lot of shops, it’s ideal
Cisco Meraki full stack is the best way to monitoring your network.
Troubleshooting is more easy, more graphical and easy to use.
i like the topology view, the wireless healt, airmarshall … the advanced thread protection and the security center…
