Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki MX

We use Cisco Meraki MX to Connect all sites, one of this site is Azure where we have vmx. This solution is stable and very simple to use especially for a little IT team. We also use other Meraki Solutions wifi switches and sensors. As possible we want also monitor catalyst devices.

Pros

  • Sd-wan
  • Simple firewall
  • Update

Cons

  • More wan
  • Little team can manage it
We can use like a commodity. previously we used another solution that was complicated for us. We have selected between other Solutions because also there are a lot of partners able to support in case of issues.
I completely agree with this parade.
