Network security architect at ATOS

A central portal where you can add, stack, configure, and maintain your devices

Nearly 35,000 users are connected to Systems from America because their network is configured to cover worldwide areas. I have approximately 450 devices connected, which can scale based on requirements. For instance, if you have around five hundred to six hundred users in one office, the MR14 and MR24 series are suitable. For environments with a larger number of standard device users, the MR24 series is recommended. Cisco Meraki provides various series to meet your requirements, allowing you to manage your users efficiently. I rate the solution's scalability a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has facilitated zero-touch authorization events for our employees and their devices. Furthermore, Meraki Systems Manager plays a vital role in securing our notebooks."

"Security is the main feature because the company is reliable."

"The solution is used for monitoring and configuring access points and BYOD (bring your own device)."

"The product provides a universal dashboard."

"Meraki Systems Manager's most valuable features are password management, device tracking, remote resetting and wiping, device management, inventory management, and easy policy deployment."

"I have found the location analytics feature that is built into the APs to be the most valuable. It allows you to compare data and to single out individuals who are repeatedly coming into your store. We can observe different trends. This is what separates it from a lot of the other solutions."

"We use this solution for MDM."

"We experience no downtime, no breakdowns, all the user readings are exact, and it gives us quick analysis so we can apply security measures."

More Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) pros

"The agility is impressive, and it's simple to manage."

"It's very easy to use."

Cons

"Sometimes, the integrations are a bit tough."

"Security could be improved, and there could be more features that enable you to customize the end customer solution."

"The cost of installing this solution can be more expensive depending on who is doing the installation. Cisco is very expensive, and I'd like to see a reduction in cost."

"Linux compatibility needs improvement."

"We've really only experimented with their iOS client. This is due to the fact that their Windows client has a lot to be desired. We first tried experimenting with the Windows one but very quickly determined that it wasn't going to cut it for most Windows cases. The Windows portion of this product needs improvement. I'd say that it's not really viable."

"Because Cisco has improved a lot and is competing with other technologies that are innovative and brand new to the market, the only improvements they have to make are to keep up with the current competition and remain competitive with other solutions."

"Meraki Systems Manager lacks scripting capability compared to Workspace. I've seen the product focused mainly on mobile solutions. They might need more development in endpoints like Windows desktops."

"If Cisco Meraki Systems Manager integrates with other solutions or models, such as ACA's radio solution, on the same equipment or within the same cloud environment, it will offer significant benefits.""

More Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) cons

"The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer Spanish support."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My customers at times have issues with the price of the solution. It is expensive, but overall it is worth it. The licensing model cost is based on how many devices you require."

"The cost of installing this solution can be more expensive depending on who is doing the installation. Cisco is very expensive."

"It's extremely competitive and very good for a product in this sphere."

"The price is high for the market."

"Meraki MDM is the cheapest solution we have used."

"The storage is affordable and the system has some price-related issues. Therefore, keeping the price in mind, I would rate it seven out of ten."

"My clients find it a bit expensive compared to other systems."

"This product is reasonably priced."
