We performed a comparison between Cradlepoint NetCloud and Meraki SD-WAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined Networking (SDN) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to set up and requires a single administrator to maintain it."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the automatic failover."
"Cradlepoint NetCloud is very stable."
"Because it's a cloud-based network infrastructure, everything is done in the cloud, so I don't need to be on-site physically to be able to troubleshoot or resolve an issue. I can be anywhere and resolve an issue."
"Tech support is willing to go the extra mile to resolve issues."
"The solution's ability to prioritize traffic is its most valuable feature."
"We have found the scalability to be good."
"The centralized console manageable from the cloud is one of the advantages."
"A lot of our customers really enjoy the Meraki Dashboard."
"The solution has many features available."
"This is a high availability solution that is easy to configure and has a nice GUI."
"The performance of group-based clouds should be enhanced."
"It is missing important settings options."
"In our situation, the initial setup was complex."
"Meraki offers the client basic security, it is not the same as what FortiGate is offering."
"There are literally things you cannot do at this point in a graphical user interface that can be done from a command line."
"Meraki SD-WAN could improve by adding wireless access time-scheduled and overall capabilities."
"Scalability could be improved. Yes, you can add more than 300 or 400 sites onto it, but because it's not a true SD-WAN and, effectively, it's just a Multi-VRF, it's all hub and spoke at that point. That's the nature of the design, but that's what keeps it simple to administer. So, it's a trade off."
"The integration with other tools must be improved."
"Meraki is lagging behind in using a single pipe from service providers. That is, it would be good if they could use both the internet leased line and broadband connectivity."
"The adoption of endpoint services or endpoint security should be developed in future releases."
"The port density should be improved because this solution is limited to two."
