Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki MX

We use the Cisco Meraki MX series as the firewall. Cisco Meraki MX has made it very easy to configure and monitor the traffic. This has helped us maintain a high level of uptime at the performance levels we need. The integration with ThousandEyes expand information we have and can help us quickly get information about potential performance issues. The integration of Anyconnect VPN allows our staff to work remotely with seamless access to resources on campus. When the network is dependable, it becomes a transparent asset to day to day operation.
  • Threat detection and monitoring. Great visual information about detections.
  • Easy to configure and maintain.
  • Reliable. It just works.
  • Integration - single portal - with their other products.
  • Map and floor plan area is clunky.
  • The way you need to segment devices by network causes you to need to go to different dropdowns to see everything at a single site. They have improved this and now allow you to add firewall, switches and wireless to create a single site, but still a bit clunky.
  • Reliability/ uptime - we have not had any issues, the performance has been very good.
  • Visibility - it has allowed us to pinpoint potential service issues very quickly.
We have very limited IT staff. This product has been very useful in allowing us to maintain a high level of service with the limited staffing we have.
The single portal integration with switches and APs gives us a seamless look at our network and helps us get to the root of potential issues and resolve them quickly and efficiently.
The integration has been great. It has given us a lot of transparency as to what is happening on the network. It has allowed us to quickly identify potential issues and to get them resolved quickly.
We have not needed the scalability of the Cisco Meraki MX yet, but I can see how it would be easy to setup, and would allow for monitoring within a single portal.
Capabilities, performance, and ease of management. Also, because of the efficiencies of being able to manage everything from a single portal.
