Virtual tours have transformed how we present properties and save time on client visits
The best features of Matterport for me include the dollhouse view, which provides a great overview when loading the project, and the measurement tool, which allows me to measure the distance between two points. This feature helps considerably, giving people a clear understanding of the actual sizes and measurements inside the units, and we have received great feedback regarding that. While Matterport is a component of our overall user journey, its impact includes time savings, fewer onsite visits, and smoother client communication. I cannot say that the benefits are solely due to Matterport, as we could have realized similar benefits with any comparable tool, but it plays an important role in enhancing our immersive experience applications.

Has simplified cloud deployments for retail environments but needs more advanced features and better pricing
The pricing of Meraki SD-WAN depends compared to which vendors, because it's a bit pricey, so not all retail would go for it unless it's a big retail company, but it depends on your comparison. I usually recommend multiple vendors in mind because it depends on the customer's requirements; you have Fortinet, you have Aruba, you have Huawei, and you have multiple options that may be cheaper than Cisco. Regarding Meraki SD-WAN functionality, it depends on the situation, but I would recommend this product if they have the money. It all comes down to the requirements first because I try to fit the best solution for them. It doesn't depend only if I'm carrying only Cisco, it depends on what their exact requirements are. Cisco is one of the top vendors with the most stable performance in many solutions, but it all comes down to the customer requirements. Mainly the pricing is a concern, and it doesn't fit enterprise customers. For enterprise-grade customers, it's not going to fit; it's not possible to use Meraki SD-WAN. It's not just because of the price; it's for enterprise because of the limitation in features and capabilities. Meraki SD-WAN is not fit for enterprise-grade customers or big deployments.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Megaport impacts my organization by not necessarily lowering cost, but it reduces a lot of time and increases the bandwidth, which increases the performance, especially in terms of overall company performance and network performance."
"It is actually pretty important for us; our day starts with Megaport."
"The pricing model of Megaport is appealing, along with its flexibility in providing connectivity to end customers."
"I would suggest anyone considering Matterport for physical properties use it, as it is really smooth and fast."
"It is very user-friendly, and it doesn't take much time to configure the simple dashboard."
"Everything is under one umbrella."
"The centralized console manageable from the cloud is one of the advantages."
"We have found the scalability to be good."
"I believe this solution does a perfect job, it delivers what it's supposed to do and it's secure."
"For medium-sized and larger enterprises, Meraki is a very good choice."
"Return on investment has been achieved."
"Meraki SD-WAN saves costs for our customers and provides better connectivity."
 

Cons

"I wish Matterport had a mini map feature to show where we are within the property floor plan."
"My suggestion would be for Megaport to make the terminal more user-friendly; I use Windows, so it's not a problem, but I'm not sure how it would work in Linux or Ubuntu-based systems."
"However, the part that can improve is that it should be a little bit easier to use and more user-friendly."
"There are no notable complaints from customers regarding Megaport, and there hasn't been any identified need for improvement."
"Meraki SD-WAN could improve by adding wireless access time-scheduled and overall capabilities."
"The product should be able to support more than three internet lines."
"They have to ask us many questions about configurations."
"Meraki SD-WAN is not fit for enterprise-grade customers or big deployments."
"In some cases, like an Internet outage, this can make the solution unmanageable."
"I think Meracki still has some work to do in terms of catching up with other companies when it comes to AI."
"It's a matter of cost and expenses that we may take some issue with."
"You need to have internet access to configure the solution. You cannot do it locally, there should be a local option."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution's pricing is in line with what we expected."
"The product is not expensive."
"The solution offers yearly licenses and product lines or prices are readily available on their website."
"The licensing fees are approximately $1,000 USD annually."
"The price of Meraki SD-WAN could improve, it is expensive when compared to other solutions on the market, such as Aruba."
"like everything else, it's negotiable."
"Our clients pay Meraki an annual licensing fee and the pricing is not too bad when compared to other products in the Cisco portfolio."
"Pricing is a significant concern for me. Amongst all the firewall brands, Cisco is one of the most expensive options. Despite its reputation and security features, many customers opt for other brands, such as SonicWall because of their lower prices. These other brands offer similar features to Cisco but at a lower cost. Cisco's pricing is something that could be improved to attract more customers. The brand has a good reputation, but when it comes to budgeting and pricing, it is not always the first choice."
