Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki MX

Cisco Meraki MX is used for managing the internet connections between a HQ and several branches. We have an ethernet handoff, and Cisco Meraki MX sits between the internet connection and the network, acting as a firewall, router, VPN endpoint, and content filter with the UTM capabilities, and has allowed my team to maintain many sites with relatively little effort. Didn't require a lot of training to use the core feature set, and it has served us very well.

Pros

  • Easy Cloud management
  • VLAN and DHCP configuration
  • High Availability
  • Full security features in one package

Cons

  • can be steep
  • Can be granular with alerting's
  • Improve application rules
  • Need more customization in packet capture
  • Improved compliance & risk management
  • Improved business process agility
  • Allow for internal/operational efficiencies
  • Easy maintenance of security posture
We have benefited a lot from using these products. With several site and a small team, Cisco Meraki MX has allowed my team to maintain our with relatively little effort. Didn't require a lot of training to use the core feature set, and it has served our purposes well. It does what any good firewall with many capabilities through Unified threat Management, maintaining security posture of the entire company.
Cisco Meraki MX and integration with Cisco Umbrella and Cisco Secure Connect is very simple to use and deploy, We can manage our entire WAN from one place, from HQ, branches or users on the wild with vpn. We use these in our organizations for firewalling, VPN connectivity, and traffic shaping so overall it's superb and provides robust security features.
The Cisco Meraki MX is highly scalable with the industry leading cloud management and handles things very nicely, but we were required to scaling the hardware directly to a higher model, as lower models can't be upgraded.
the feature rich unified threat management UTM capabilities were a crucial part of the deployment of this solution that the industry leading cloud management was an pivotal point (previously known by several members of the team), and the Cisco brand is very power full and a solid tool to get superior approval.
