Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN Reviews

Cloud networking is perfect, I can manage and monitor all the clients of my network whenever I want and wherever I am.

The Layer-7 capability let me control traffic and block unwanted services.

Although Layer-7 helps, it could still be improved.

We had no issues with the deployment.

We had no issues with its stability.

We have had no issues scaling.

Meraki support is really good.

We also use Meraki MR and Aerohive devices.

Meraki setup is easy.

Both Meraki and Aerohive are good products, and I prefer Meraki. I work with Meraki products in production. Meraki are more intuitive than Aerohive.

We have a small, growing company, and they're looking for a wireless capability to do typical office stuff, except that now, we're doing a lot more meetings on Teams and Zoom. We often have a setup where a few people in a conference room connect with remote workers on a Teams meeting. We've had some Teams and Zoom calls interrupted due to problems with the wireless and the wide-area network, as well as some other standard internet issues. Meraki is a decent solution for a small company, and we use it in a pretty typical way. We need Teams and Zoom to work, and we need a high level of security because we want our business to remain confidential.

My company has been using Meraki Wireless for several years, but I've only been involved for a year and a half.

I haven't interacted with technical support. I hire third-party technical staff, and they deal with all the actual support.

I rate Cisco Meraki Wireless eight out of 10. My suggestion to anyone looking to implement this kind of solution is to use a smart consultant. I use technical consultants to handle things like picking out a solution. So I have one guy who says Ubiquiti would be a great platform, and the other says they think Meraki is the best platform.

On-premises

With Meraki Wireless Solutions of Cisco Wireless, I can manage them from the cloud. We are a partner of Cisco.

Being able to manage in the cloud is a valuable feature. The other valuable feature is the monitoring device, you can see the network health.

I have some problems when I want to connect some users when there are a lot of users and they disconnect.

Another pain point is that we have to manually do the frequency settings, especially the power of the access points.

Cisco Meraki is quite stable.

This solution is scalable.

Pricing of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN could be better.

The solution is easier if you implement it with the cloud. 

I would rate Cisco Meraki an 8 out of 10 because of the problems we have with concurrent users.

Public Cloud

Other

We use Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN for our networking and security.

The solution provides good coverage and identity management. Additionally, the user interface is straightforward.

Overall the solution needs to have more time to mature.

I have been using Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN within the last 12 months.

Most of our customers are enterprise companies using this solution.

The initial setup is very easy.

The solution could improve the licensing structure and the price is expensive.

The subscription model needs to improve because when the subscription expires the solution stops working and you are not able to use the product. This needs to improve.

I rate Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN a six out of ten.

We are a solution provider and Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is one of the products that we recommend to our customers for building their network and offering wireless internet access.

This product offers cloud-based configuration, so you can set it up from anywhere.

It is easy to operate and easy to manage.

When the license expires, access to the Cisco cloud stops immediately. They should introduce a grace period of 60 days after license expiry because as it is now, it automatically goes down and there is no grace period.

There should be better integration with other products. 

We have been using Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN for a couple of years.

The product is scalable and can do so on-demand. We have approximately 60 users, and we plan to continue using it in the future.

The support is good.

The initial setup is straightforward and installing an access point will take no more than three hours.

We deploy this product with our in house team, and two people are enough for deployment and maintenance.

In summary, this is a good product and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

We are using it at the hospitals for transmission for hardware switches. We are connected with various IoT devices.

Its ease of use and flexibility are most valuable. It is cloud-based software.

Its price should be reduced.

I have been using this solution for a few months.

We have been using it only for a few months. We need to use it for a longer time to see its stability.

We have more than 40 users at the moment, but the number is growing.

Their support is extremely good. They generally dispatch the hardware in four hours. They give us a dispatch notice just after four hours of lodging a complaint. Their engineer does the on-site visit within 24 hours.

It is not complicated. It is quite user-friendly.

Its price is high and should be reduced.

I would recommend this solution. They have a good setup and local support in India.

I would rate Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN a seven out of ten. There is always room for improvement, and they can do some things better. We have been using it for a few months, and we don't yet know if there are any bugs or issues.

We have two different environments. We have set it up in a large building with five access points, and one access point in another building. We are a non-profit organization.

The ability to program all access points from the Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN dashboard, view the status of all of them, and examine the individual devices connected to each access point is very valuable. Making a change on one access point and having that propagate to all the other ones makes centralized control very important and easy.

Some of the newer models of the Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN access point have encompassed the new wireless protocols and increased the strength of their antennas, so they are already improving their product.

I have used the solution for about three years.

We were able to deploy the system without assistance, as the online documentation provided a lot of step-by-step guides for setup. Deploying it was straightforward, and the solution was initially set up by programming one device and then copying settings to the others.

The stability could be better. We have experienced many instances where we have experienced a lag in our network, and I am not sure if it is due to their devices or our network. Overall, I would rate the stability an eight out of ten.

I did not really deal with them at all. We were able to handle the deployment on our own.

Neutral

We were using Cisco wireless access points, but they became outdated and were no longer in service. They were upgraded to Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN access points.

The initial setup was very easy. We just had to program one of the access points, and then we copied those settings to the others, making the deployment process efficient.

The implementation involved two people. One person handled all the initial configurations, while two people actually placed the devices.

Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is on par with other devices in that category, offering competitive pricing.

I would recommend Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN simply because of the ease of deployment and its reliability. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.
