A cloud solution for warehousing with a troubleshooting feature

The initial setup is straightforward. It's based on user requirements. We also conduct heat mapping using a couple of tools. The only requirement is to understand the technical or configuration aspects from the user's end and then configure it. Mist takes no more than 15 to 20 minutes for a particular deployment. You need to understand the end user's environment and have a concrete plan on whether it's a greenfield installation or an existing one, considering the density and height. Based on that, we need to develop a passive heat map. Then, you need to discuss with the user to understand exactly what needs to be configured and what they require in their environment. Based on that, you can proceed with the installation. Additionally, you can perform post-installation heat mapping to ensure it matches the earlier heat map. I rate the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.

Great for identifying application interdependencies with helpful support but needs better visualizations

We're just trying to identify the application interdependencies, which normally reside on different servers, including web servers, database servers, enterprise service bus, et cetera, up to your presentation layer before we start moving stuff around. Normally, the reason why we use these tools is to understand what assets we have, where they're deployed, and how they enter and operate before we decide to go move something from point A to point B. The solution is going to allow me to establish a wave or migration plan where you have different waves of migration and then you actually have move groups to try and get your application moved from A to B seamlessly. A to B could be on-premise to on-premise. It could be on-premise to cloud. Et cetera. The solution can tell me what components can I deploy, for example, into a cloud space, without having to refactor my applications since that can be quite time-consuming and costly.

Well-organized, easy to use, and practical

In my company, ten to twelve people use Meraki Dashboard. As the Meraki Dashboard deployment was very straightforward, only two to three people deployed it. Ten people handled the maintenance of the solution, but it was based on areas in which people had responsibility. Currently, there's no plan to increase the usage of the Meraki Dashboard. I would recommend Meraki Dashboard to others who have Meraki products and services, as the solution can provide oversight into what you're doing and what you'll be able to maintain from a Meraki point of view. My rating for Meraki Dashboard is eight out of ten because it's a strong product for me.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."

"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has."

"Wire data analytics."

"Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis."

"The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts."

"The most valuable feature is the way it handles data, from Layer 2 up to Layer 7. We can see everything that happens in the network."

"This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space."

"We greatly utilize the network because we can plug it into the DNS, VPN, or equipment. It's very good. Meraki Dashboard enhances wireless network management. We appreciate its flexibility, as it allows for easy suite configuration. We can handle everything on there when there's a policy or any other requirement."

"We have found the client dashboard to be very simple to use, especially in our Meraki environment."

"What I found most valuable in Meraki Dashboard is that it's well-organized, easy to use, and practical."

"It can analyze the traffic that it is picking up from what may be a rogue access point, and it is able to identify those and send relevant notifications."

"It's a scalable solution."

"It is very easy to manage. It has good security, and it is working well with our firewall."

"What I love most about the Meraki Dashboard are its user-friendly features."

"What I found most valuable in the Meraki Dashboard is straight monitoring of the different devices, as well as the ability to easily set up VPNs, for example, both Meraki client VPNs and non-Meraki VPNs for different organizations that work with my company. I also like that the tool is a really good firewall."

Cons

"The technical support needs improvement."

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."

"They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."

"They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."

"We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services."

"I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data."

"Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."

"The MDM, however, is bad. We're using another MDM now because Meraki was so bad."

"The downside to the simplicity is that you can't get as granular as you could with the Cisco APs."

"Meraki Dashboard could improve the user interface by making it more user-friendly. The configuring can at times be difficult."

"Price could be reduced."

"The solution can be expensive."

"Third-party switches do not necessarily integrate easily with the system and this could be improved to allow for better adaptation."

"Lacks an alert notification when there are IP or DNS issues."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."

"The licensing fees are $180 USD, per AP, for three years."

"The pricing of the tool is relatively high compared to other solutions. It comes with a premium that exceeds that of its competitors by approximately 25 percent."

"I’m not sure of the exact cost, however, it’s my understanding the Meraki WiFi is around $800. That’s for a three-year license. It’s about $150 a year."

"Meraki Dashboard's pricing is reasonable. It is sold yearly, typically for one, three, or five years. I rate its pricing a five out of ten."

"The price of Meraki Dashboard is not expensive because knowing that it is a cloud-based solution has its benefits."
