Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki Wireless Access Point

Meraki Access Points are used across our entire organization, including multiple departments. One of the main reasons I like Meraki is that it is all managed through the cloud. I can pull reports, configure, and manage Access Points all over the place from my desk. Prior we had various vendors in each building all with a different management client or protocol.

Pros

  • Ease of Management from a central cloud location.
  • Controls are relatively easy to use once you become familiar.
  • Co-terms my license every year so that it is a simple single renewal.

Cons

  • As, AP's Meraki is great! MDM mobile device management - we also use Meraki to help with mobile devices. It works, but not flawless.
  • A positive impact is that we spend less (almost no) time dealing with Access Point management.
  • A negative is the annual license renewal. While not currently overly pricey, the AP's are useless if you don't keep your license current, so it is a requirement.
Prefer Meraki, obviously, as we have used them for 10 years. Performance has been good, and you just can't beat easy to manage.
