We performed a comparison between LogRhythm NetMon and Meraki Dashboard based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The most valuable feature is the log, which can be analyzed by our SIEM solution."
"Visibility is a valuable feature, the ability to see even if the traffic is not going into the firewall"
"It has a very strong artificial intelligence engine."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"NetMon's best feature is traffic analysis."
"The protocols with which you see the traffic for a particular website that a client has in their environment, for example, are valuable. We can monitor whether the traffic is up to the mark or whether they need to add more bandwidth. Also, we can see if we're able to get real-time environment data as well. The customization dashboard is really good. LogRhythm NetMon has its own in-built dashboards which are helpful in guiding customization."
"The analytics feature is the most valuable feature."
"We find that Meraki has all the features you need to be able to enable complex network protocols for AV equipment. We deal with a streaming product over IP, and Meraki is fantastic at that."
"It's really user-friendly."
"The initial setup was easy."
"An excellent dashboard that is currently unique in covering both SD-WAN and SD-LAN with built-in security."
"There are some whitelist blacklist capabilities in the MX dashboard, which is very helpful."
"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."
"We've been spending a lot less time on tickets and deployments, so we have more time to do other things."
"The feature I find most valuable is the single pane of glass where you can configure a monitor view, all from one dashboard. For example, on the wireless side, you can configure it under the configuration panel, and then view statistics like location analytics, user analytics, etc."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Some of the automated tasks we can perform on QRadar cannot be performed on LogRhythm because the solution has limitations."
"Sometimes it's hard to find the network devices' self-audit logs."
"Could use a topology diagram which would help get an exact visual."
"I would like to see better integration with multiple products. Integration is not something that is readily available for most of the products."
"There is an issue with tunneling in relation to how the connectivity is established between the end devices and where NetMon is installed. On the console, I often observe that there's a difference of a few seconds or maybe a minute, and this lag time should not be there."
"LogRhythm NetMon's pricing model is an area of concern that should be made a little bit cheaper in comparison to the other players in the market currently."
"The training for this product is not very good and needs to be improved."
"The one issue that we have had is that the VPN tunnel would go down unless you worked out with the ISP that you would be using a static IP address on the WAN interface."
"This solution can be quite complicated to configure and manage, unless you have a technical person with specific knowledge working on it."
"It's a very complex system. Customers have told me that sometimes there are lots of advanced features that are available and that you can change in the dashboard, but sometimes it's very hard to know what they are."
"The MDM, however, is bad. We're using another MDM now because Meraki was so bad."
"Price could be reduced."
"The price could be lower because the license for access points is expensive."
"What needs improvement in Meraki Dashboard is its configuration. It'll also be better if the tool has more functionality, and that is what I'd like to see in its next release."
"The downside to the simplicity is that you can't get as granular as you could with the Cisco APs."
