Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN Reviews

We have previously used PBXs, wireless solutions and LAN solutions. Our strategy is now to move everything to the cloud which is why we moved to using this solution. 

The fact that Cisco Meraki is cloud based and is reasonably priced has been most valuable.

It would be useful to have a service management platform integrated within this solution where we can measure the customer experience. It would also be useful to have assistance with the go-to-market strategy when using this solution.

We are a partner of Cisco and we have been working with them since 2006.

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution solution. We are based in Mauritius and since it is a small island, the scale we need fits into the range that Meraki can offer. 

This solution has a good support team and when we raise a support case, it is resolved quickly. We have a local representative for Cisco and they facilitate any support we need.

The technical support from Cisco is good, but they can improve themselves in some areas. Sometimes it takes a while to provide a solution or an answer to our problem.

The deployment of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN was simple. It took a couple of weeks to complete.

We have certified people that do the implementation of the solution.

The price of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is per unit and it has annual maintenance costs.

I rate Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN an eight out of ten.

I am an electronic engineer and a specialist in Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN. I am a distributor of Cisco Meraki and have 100 customers using this solution.

There are many valuable features of Cisco Meraki, including the switches, stacking, and layer 3 routing.

The products are delayed when arriving in Argentina. These delays can be as long as 6 months, causing the customers to be unhappy. I would like to see Cisco Meraki improve the accessibility by region level here in Latin America.

I have been working with Cisco Meraki for the past few years.

The stability of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is great.

This solution is scalable.

Technical support is easy to contact and ready to help.

When you are in the dashboard of Cicso Meraki, you configure the hardware and connect to the internet line and the script will download to the hardware. The deployment is very easy, it is plug and play and takes 50 minutes.

Cisco Meraki requires either a one year or three year license for a standard enterprise license.

This is an excellent product. Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is robust and has a tough access point.

I would rate this solution a 9 out of 10.

We are primarily using Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN for applications.

Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN has benefited organizations by meeting their requirements.

I have been using Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN for approximately three years.

The solution is stable and reliable.

The scalability of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is good.

We have used technical support for some issues but not many times.

I have found Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN easy to implement. It can be done in a very short time.

We have a three-person technical team that does the implementation and support of the solution. The team is mostly engineers and architects.

There is an annual license required for the solution.

We evaluated other solutions before Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN.

I would recommend this solution to others because it's reliable, stable, and easy to implement.

I rate Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN a nine out of ten.

The main use case is as an enterprise network for the user working in the office and for guests.

This solution has provided reliability and a good price for my organization.

The most valuable feature is wireless connectivity.

I've been using this solution for two to three years.

This is a scalable solution.

The quality of technical support varies, sometimes it's very good, sometimes not.

I also work with Cisco Wireless LAN. We choose to work with Meraki because we are familiar with the technology from selling the solution.

The initial setup is quite straightforward. In general, setup should not take more than one or two days.

Licensing is available on a yearly basis. A higher subscription fee may be necessary if extra features are required.

Cisco Meraki is quite reliable and provides good support, on a par with other brands. It also requires less time to implement and maintain the network, and it can save running and operating costs. I would rate this solution as seven out of ten.

We are using it in a enterprise network, a financial business. Users are completely using it for accessing the servers, internal networking, so the building is completely wireless and the wireless is the main connection to the network, for the gas separate network and for the lease

I like the status page Cisco added that shows you the health of the wireless connection. 

Cisco could add more security features on the other layers, like if Cisco's IPS antivirus could be downloaded. They could also add some more controls for guest access. For example, when you have a captive portal, it would be nice to limit the amount of time users can stay connected per day. Right now, you can only configure the splash frequency. And you can set the connection for one hour, but you have to use the billing feature.

Meraki WLAN is stable. However, some APs that are around five years old have peer connectivity problems.

Meraki WLAN is easy to scale. If it's a small network of around 50 access points, I think one staffer can handle the installation and maintenance. But if you go over 50 access points — about 400 clients — you would need one more staffer.

Cisco technical support goes deeper into troubleshooting than other vendors that I've worked with. They're more superficial compared to Cisco.

The initial setup is easy. If you have an ACP network with internet access, it's just a plugin.

It's a little expensive to use Meraki WLAN. You have to pay for all the licenses.

I rate Cisco Meraki WLAN eight out of 10.

I primarily use the solution for network connectivity. They have a microcontroller and size the firmware with access points. I didn't need to buy another controller to control all of them in one click. At any one of the access point, I can configure the whole network.

It's a very useful product.

The solution is stable. So far, it has been issue-free.

I have found the scalability to be very good.

Cisco offers pretty expensive devices. 

I'd like it if Cisco made it possible to integrate its solution with HP.

The initial setup is a bit difficult. 

I only installed the solution one month ago. I haven't used it for very long. 

The stability of the solution seems to be very good. There are no bugs or glitches. it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The product scales well. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

We have 500 users who are on the solution currently.

I've never had to reach out to technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

I'm also familiar with Ubiquiti. 

The initial installation is a bit hard. It's not quite like, for example, Ubiquiti. If you have a mountain of access points, it will take a while, as it typically takes a technician 15 to 20 minutes per access point.  

The installation doesn't require a lot of people. It took only a few guys - one for integration and one for administration.

The solution is pricey. It's an expensive product.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. It's been extremely reliable and I've been happy with it.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend the solution to smaller offices or organizations as Cisco can be expensive. Something cheaper, such as D-Link, may be better in small environments. 

It's for our head offices, remote offices branches. The solution is primarily used for giving access to our users, including controlling their access and granting access.

The solution is easy to use. With the cloud dashboard, it's easy to control the APs and other items. It has controlling, content filtering, and other options. A lot of things are there. It has a lot of great features.

The solution is stable.

The scalability is good.

I am new to this solution. At the moment, I am not the right person or in a position to suggest something new or point out something that's lacking. I time to use it properly and see the pros and cons of the product and the requirements regarding our business.

The dashboard could be a bit better. I'd like to see more information about the whole controller and APs. It should be as simple and convenient.

I haven't used the solution for very long. It's been about a month. 

The stability is very good. There are no bugs or glitches. It does not crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The scalability of the solution is great. However, it depends on the business' needs.

I can't speak to technical support. I didn't actually open any ticket, so I am not sure. I can't say how responsive or helpful they are. 

I've been using Aruba Wireless Controller, and Huawei - just the controller. I'm new to this environment and I'm new to the device.

I did not handle the initial setup and I didn't configure anything. I've just started administering the solution actually. I can't speak to the implementation process and how difficult or simple it is.

I can't speak to the pricing or licensing. It's not an aspect of the solution I take care of.

We're just customers and technical users. 

We use different versions, such as the MX64, 800 series, and 100 series.

At the moment, I'd rate the solution at a six out of ten. I have no experience, or at least, not too much experience yet.
