Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki SD-WAN

We have used Meraki AutoVPN to completely replace the MPLS WAN across our organization. Meraki SDWAN provides connectivity between all our offices, data centers, and public cloud environments (AWS and Azure). We are frequently turning temporary offices up and down. Merak's solution makes it very simple and fast to deploy new networks using configuration templates.
  • Simple
  • Fast
  • Robust
  • Improved fail-over to different hubs in the event of a hub being hard down
  • Ability to maintain more settings when binding a network to a different template

  • We found that Meraki SDWAN over public Internet links provides a much better ROI than MPLS over private circuits.
We have been able to manage a large number of networks with a very small team as a result of the ease of use and ability to remotely support networks. Zero touch deployment of hardware has allowed us to use non-technical local resources to physically install the network equipment.
Meraki products scale very well and make managing a large number of devices simple.
Meraki's AutoVPN is simpler and easier to manage compared to Fortinet's overlay VPN.
Meraki SDWAN is a great fit for small to medium organizations. It is especially well suited to companies that need to turn up new sites frequently with minimal effort.
