I used Checkpoint, Cisco ASA, Palo Altos, Juniper. To configure the devices you need days, to spin up Meraki Firewall you need minutes.

It's very simple.

What about the implementation team?

We did it in house, across five offices and the data center.

It saves time on spinning up new offices, and on managing the firewall.

Juniper switches.

I will never go back to any other solution. Right now our corporate network, across the five offices and the data center, is 100% Meraki, Meraki Firewalls, Meraki Switches, and Meraki APs.
