Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki MX Firewalls

We use Meraki MX as a security appliance/firewall. The traffic shaping feature has been beneficial in our school environment. The Meraki MX was easy to configure and deploy and customer support is outstanding.
  • Easy to configure and deploy
  • User-friendly management console
  • Excellent Layer 7 filtering capabilities
  • The license must be active, therefore, yearly licensing costs must be calculated and budgeted.
  • Increased granularity in the dashboard controls
  • Reduced management time
  • Increase throughput to end user by managing traffic at layer 7
With layer 7 visibility and controls we were much better able to manage users, content, and applications.

The traffic shaping ability of Cisco Meraki MX Firewall is highly beneficial in the school environment.
