Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki MX

It was for the teleworkers, working from home when Covid hit, we needed a product that we could deploy and allow call centers to be moved off-premise and this is what we used, so it worked out.

Pros

  • The VPN tunneling between campus and our individual home users is great and it was good for troubleshooting and it provided one POE port for an IP set so a call center can bring their phones home with them and it continue to work.

Cons

  • Maybe a couple, maybe two POE ports per unit. That's about it. Everything else I think seems to work out very well for us.
  • I never really tracked the ROI - return on investment, but it helped us in a crisis when everybody was leaving to go home during Covid. So the Meraki's been great for us.
It was very easy to deploy and it was very easy to help troubleshoot end users with issues that they said they had. Connectivity issues, latency issues, and stuff like that. We were able to use the Meraki reporting and find out, now we have Thousandeyes on our Meraki too, so it helps us with tracking the issues and proving that it's not the device or their devices are actually, most times, it's their own internet service provider.
We're really using the Meraki more and more, everything from the wireless. We started doing some work with the cameras and security. Meraki has been a great product for our company so far. We use it for a lot of our outer campuses as the VPN Tunneling primary with SD wan. So it's working out very well for us.

The work-from-home user. It's a great product if you don't have constant VPN on your computers, this is a good product for people who need a real true telephone as a desktop solution. And like I said, it worked out very well for us.
