Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The most valuable feature is the fault management monitoring."
"The pricing is relatively low compared to other solutions in this area. I'd go so far as to say it's even significantly less than the competition."
"The most valuable feature is its simplicity in navigating through the dashboard. It's well set out, and the layout is nice and user friendly. A lot of clients enjoy seeing layer 7 visibility. They get a good indication and insight into what is happening in their network and what applications are being used the most. They can then customize and give preference to business-critical applications."
"The dashboard itself is very simplified and easy to navigate."
"The hardware of Meraki is very good quality."
"It has improved my organization in the way that we've got a much better wireless coverage than we had before, and secondly, we have the visibility of all the users."
"The solution scales well."
"It is a reliable product. It provides a lot of information that is easy to read."
"There is no need to swap the hardware at all the locations, and importing the APs into the Dashboard was a simple and quick process."
"I like that Meraki Dashboard is a user-friendly product."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"My biggest complaint about ADA is that you have to rely on dedicated appliances."
"The user interface needs improvement."
"The coverage has been an issue for us."
"If I am a user and I have a seat on the fourth floor, if I move across the building, the system should be able to track me and should be able to figure out my whereabouts or my position within the building if I'm connected to the wireless. That would make the administrator's life easier in terms of reachability."
"This solution can be quite complicated to configure and manage, unless you have a technical person with specific knowledge working on it."
"I am concerned about the fact that once your licensing expires the devices stop working and become a brick."
"There are some issues with the NAT configuration, it is now impossible to some operations with the solution."
"I think this product could be improved with a CLI for more directives."
"For instance, you should be able to see if something has been blocked by a firewall rule by looking at a live log of traffic moving through the device. It helps you troubleshoot issues and understand if your rules are working. You need to ensure the firewall is blocking the right things. That's unavailable in the Meraki Dashboard. You have to send the logs to a log server. We use SolarWinds locally, but it's not natively built into Meraki. We're also using Cisco ISA and another tool called Smoothwall."
"One area that could use improvement in the Meraki Dashboard is user-friendliness when navigating to port configurations."
