Greatly simplifies troubleshooting; remote access to the router is a huge time saver
The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents. I can always call technical support and ask them if I forget something and I'll get the support, but I shouldn't need to do that. Anything can be improved and unfortunately a good switch is not cheap but there's no choice if you need a special router.

Central management and cloud dashboard streamline network monitoring while connectivity hiccups need addressing
I use Cisco products and Meraki MS Switches. I am a user on the user side. Network security is handled by our firewalls and other solutions. I have not explored the area of network management AI in Meraki MS Switches. For other switches, when you buy one, you can just start configuring, connect it to the network, and it works. With Meraki MS Switches, you have to first whitelist the MAC address, let it have internet, then you can manage it. They're deployed on-premises. They're quite acceptable, so I recommend them to those who want to use Meraki MS Switches. The biggest benefit that I see in Meraki MS Switches is central management and the cloud dashboard. I rate Meraki MS Switches 8 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"The solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"The setup was as easy as a setup can be, we had no issues."
"It is easy to configure and claim the switches by their serial number directly from the portal."
"The solution is efficient and easy to run."
"This switch is robust; it's never, ever gone down, and it has not been rebooted during the last two years in my environment."
"I like the flexibility of the Meraki firewall. It gives you the ability to lock things down. Having multiple VLANs is helpful for the switching infrastructure and firewall. It's crucial when you have a public-facing VLAN, a private-facing VLAN, and a secure VLAN."
"Its cloud feature and cloud management are great. They are the most valuable aspects."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The technical support is very good. They offer some of the best support on the market."
 

Cons

"The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"While the solution is good for the light commercial market or for the residential market, it's not ideal for the commercial market, for example, a big enterprise or data center."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"The subscription model could be improved."

"At times, we didn't know whether the switch was operating or not so we have to take the console and we have to do some troubleshooting."
"The pain point for our customers is the pricing and it should be reduced to make it more competitive."
"This is quite an expensive solution so I'd like to see the cost reduced."
