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.

Cloud-managed switches have improved secure segmentation and simplified automated patching
Meraki MS Switches are easy to manage, but I believe they are more suitable for use on the IT side because Meraki faces the internet, requiring an open connection through the internet for control. It is not the same as Cisco switches, which operate via command line. I normally use command line for configuration, while Meraki utilizes a cloud-based dashboard that necessitates a constant internet connection for configuration. Therefore, I find Meraki MS Switches more suitable for the IT side. The improvement needed for Meraki MS Switches is the ability to connect in the worst case when I encounter internet issues. When I cannot connect to the internet and need to configure or connect directly to Cisco switches or access Meraki for changes, I face difficulties. When Meraki MS Switches can be configured without an internet connection, I think I can use Meraki MS Switches on the OT side. The only improvement I seek is configuration without an internet connection.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"The solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"The technical support is very good; they offer some of the best support on the market."
"This is a very easy solution to deploy."
"Almost all of my functions perform very well."
"Easy access to the solution is the most valuable feature."
"The product provides a single-pane-of-glass in for management of wireless, security, and switching from multiple devices."
"The solution has been very stable so far."
"The main features of Meraki MS Switches are integration, high quality, and hardware guarantee."
"The most valuable feature about Meraki is the console. The second most valuable feature, to me, is the technical support and the infrastructure behind the console."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"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."
"Management from a single dashboard is what I want to see from Meraki MS Switches."
"If there is a drawback to Meraki, it is the cost, but you also have to evaluate it based upon the other factors that you do get."
"The firewall is not very powerful."
"It would be great if the switch can identify the IP address connected to the network port. It seems most of the switches cannot identify the IP address. They can identify the MAC address but not the IP address."
"I would like to add a voice capability to Meraki, to make a call or receive a call."
"The solution needs to improve its ability to back up the auto-configuration."
"The biggest area that they fall short on is comparing the performance."
"The MS Switches are incapable of doing trunking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"Securing licenses and devices for more than a year can make the product expensive. In general, the product is expensive."
"The product's licensing cost is about 30% to 40% of the hardware cost."
"The licensing is purchased on a one, three, five, and seven year basis."
"I don't have an issue with the price of this solution."
"One key challenge often encountered is the perception that strategic products like Cisco and Meraki tend to be more expensive than alternatives like Aruba."
"I rate the price of Meraki MS Switches a two out of ten."
"We don't use standard licensing. Most of the time, we use the advanced security model. If there is a drawback to Meraki, it is the cost, but you also have to evaluate it based upon the other factors that you do get. Their support is really good; their hardware is really good. The ease of configuration and deployment is really good, but it is more expensive than most."
"With the solution that we currently have, I think it costs about 1,200 pounds a year. They bill on a yearly basis."
