Greatly simplifies troubleshooting; remote access to the router is a huge time saver
The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents. I can always call technical support and ask them if I forget something and I'll get the support, but I shouldn't need to do that. Anything can be improved and unfortunately a good switch is not cheap but there's no choice if you need a special router.

Central management and cloud dashboard streamline network monitoring while connectivity hiccups need addressing
I use Cisco products and Meraki MS Switches. I am a user on the user side. Network security is handled by our firewalls and other solutions. I have not explored the area of network management AI in Meraki MS Switches. For other switches, when you buy one, you can just start configuring, connect it to the network, and it works. With Meraki MS Switches, you have to first whitelist the MAC address, let it have internet, then you can manage it. They're deployed on-premises. They're quite acceptable, so I recommend them to those who want to use Meraki MS Switches. The biggest benefit that I see in Meraki MS Switches is central management and the cloud dashboard. I rate Meraki MS Switches 8 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The ePoE+ is great."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"The solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"You don't need to be a network engineer to support Meraki."
"The product provides a single-pane-of-glass in for management of wireless, security, and switching from multiple devices."
"The initial setup is straightforward. You only need two people for deployment and maintenance."
"The interface is great. It's easy to understand for the customer."
"Our organization has a partnership with Meraki; it is a good product and it is scalable."
"The most valuable features of Meraki MS Switches are simple deployment and administration, and you can have all your switches in one place and manage them."
"Overall, the switches are really good."
"We were using a Cisco switch, and we switched to Meraki because of the monitoring capabilities, as Meraki is on the cloud so it is easier to monitor and also easier to check the status of the switch, which is a good thing for a network administrator."
 

Cons

"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"While the solution is good for the light commercial market or for the residential market, it's not ideal for the commercial market, for example, a big enterprise or data center."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"In reference to an area of improvement sometimes the switch does not connect to the internet initially."
"The pain point for our customers is the pricing and it should be reduced to make it more competitive."
"They're definitely missing some of the higher end data center Cisco features."
"The product demonstrates poor price per performance when compared with its competitors."
"The reporting could be improved and could be more granular."
"It would be great if the switch can identify the IP address connected to the network port. It seems most of the switches cannot identify the IP address. They can identify the MAC address but not the IP address."
"The scalability and integrative abilities with on-premises systems could stand improvement. I am talking about the monitoring features and those directly concerning the internal management systems."
"If there are many users and a heavy data load, heavy data traffic, I am not suggesting Meraki. I am focusing on Meraki Catalyst for live usage. It is not scalable enough, and I do not recommend it due to its switching capability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"The Layer 3 switch is the most expensive switch."
"If you buy a license for one switch, it will include the licensing for the device RMA, device failure warranty, technical support, and everything else. Also covered is support for software updates for future releases. It's a single license for everything and there's nothing that customers need to pay in addition to the license."
"It is very expensive so I want it to be cheaper."
"Meraki is not an expensive switch, like Cisco."
"This product is quite expensive."
"I rate the price of Meraki MS Switches a two out of ten."
"The pricing is overvalued in relation to the product's performance."
"It is very expensive so I want it to be cheaper."
