Locating equipment within facilities is now straightforward and efficient
We mainly use Meraki Location Analytics to locate equipment within our manufacturing facilities. We're not a public-facing organization, so our use case involves finding devices like printers or scanners that need maintenance The best aspect of Meraki Location Analytics is its ease of use.…

Lead Analytics Consultant at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
Great collaboration with intuitive interface and dynamic visualization capabilities
As we are exploring multiple features in Sigma, I think Sigma can add more functionality. As Power BI gives multiple modeling options in its interface with the query editor, those features can be added in Sigma for intuitiveness or for making the data very clean. From the dashboarding perspective, it performs well. However, from the modeling perspective, it requires more capabilities that can be added in Sigma. The main improvement needed is in data modeling capabilities. If they add those features in the near future, it would be very helpful for us to implement the same or do the data cleansing part in the Sigma tool itself.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In general, it is helpful because it allows administrators to see where the Wi-Fi and network services are being most used."
"The pricing and licensing for Meraki are good, and I would rate it as a nine out of ten."
"Technical support has always been very good."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"The stability of the solution is excellent, and I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"If you can afford this solution, it's worth every dime in terms of what you get out of it."
"I use Location Analytics to identify rogue hotspots and find the last location of missing devices."
"I like Location Analytics' geofencing features for devices. You can manage thousands of devices with just a push of a button and deploy applications in seconds. For example, in schools, you can deploy an app update for thousands of iPads in just two clicks."
"Sigma's customer support is excellent, and that is actually one of the other reasons why we ended up going with Sigma, as we are able to hit the question mark and ask for support and get real live people that are very knowledgeable."
"Having those dashboards set up in Sigma has made things easier for me and my team because it's just going into one report."
"Sigma is valuable because you can do pretty much anything you need to do within Sigma."
"The tool's interface is easy to use. The functions listed as a part of the menu items are easy to use."
"Sigma is a great software for non-technical business users. If someone's familiar with pivot tables or Excel or Google Sheets, they should be able to pick up Sigma pretty quickly. There is a very low bar for onboarding."
"Sigma serves as the visualization and reporting front end."
"The most valuable feature of Sigma is the detailed reports."
"I find the collaborative features, such as commenting, to be very valuable."
 

Cons

"There are no specific areas for improvement as everything is working very well."
"The pricing is a pain point for us. It's a bit expensive."
"My biggest complaint with Meraki Location Analytics is the lack of visibility into the back end. Everything we do is through a customer GUI, and there's limited access to CLI functions."
"The technical support before implementation could be better for premium partners."
"I would like to see all of the features included in a single package."
"The biggest issue is negotiating the price with a client. That's the most complicated part, but the product is worth it."
"Sigma lacks a versioning feature to track changes. There is a need for better structuring, like a folder system, to organize diagrams efficiently."
"The main improvement needed is in data modeling capabilities. If they add those features in the near future, it would be very helpful for us to implement the same or do the data cleansing part in the Sigma tool itself."
"I think Sigma can be improved because, for the last ten months since I first started here, this is my first time ever using it, and I think there is a steep learning curve."
"Sigma could have better reports."
"The product's roadmap regarding introducing new features in the solution or new versions of the tool can be made better in the future."
"I think Sigma's dashboarding has room for improvement."
"Either we are not using it properly, or the software is too complicated. It would be great if there was a way for me to create reports without relying on a data analyst."
"The only minor area for improvement lies in handling highly complex visualizations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is less expensive compared to other vendors for gold partners."
"They have different tiers of pricing including one-year, three-year, five-year, seven-year, and ten-year."
"The retail price is set at one thousand dollars per creator per year."
