Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Wireless

We use two wireless controllers (5508) with ISE & Prime supporting about four hundred Access Points (1602). Three hundred of them are installed at our stores and the rest are installed at our premises. Most of the usage is by providing internet access (especially at stores). For now we have implemented a POC with CMX analytics at our stores and I hope to change the MDM platform from Mobile Iron to Meraki.
  • Nice signaling
  • Futures
  • Design
  • Easier configuration from Controller
  • Not three licenses at ISE
  • Better monitoring with Prime
  • Positive one: Operational efficiency
  • Positive two: Easy access from everywhere
  • Negative One: More complex security
  • Negative two: "Heavy" reports

Cisco Access Points are well suited with CMX scenarios because you can have more information about your customers to make a more strategic and more targeted campaigns in order to increase your company's recognition and profit.

I suggest to re-design the Meraki Access points in order to minimize the cost of those and make this platform more eligible.
