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 excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to access devices from anywhere in the world through the cloud."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The cloud part of Meraki Switches is very good. They also have a good GUI. It's a complete solution. I like the switching and the monitoring part."
"The main features of Meraki MS Switches are integration, high quality, and hardware guarantee."
"It makes the management of SSIDs fairly easy."
"The interface is great. It's easy to understand for the customer."
"The dashboard and the interface, in general, are good features, and everything from switches to access points can be used from a single dashboard."
"Meraki's site-to-site VPN function is phenomenal, and the VLAN is simple to use and set up. If you need the VLAN to sort the networks out, that works very well. The performance is also excellent."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"Sometimes the controller in the cloud that controls the access points does not have the most accurate information."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Better alerting capabilities are needed because they do not provide enough notification or detail about events."
"The biggest area that they fall short on is comparing the performance."
"It would be helpful to have more features like an iOS interface."
"Scalability is 60% because it doesn't have the core functionality required for aggregated interfaces and you can not use a virtual device context, so you can't scale easily."
"The solution needs to improve its scalability."
"I'd rate ROI a three out of five as it is costly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"The only drawback is the cost — that's what kills them."
"We paid for our switches outright, at a cost of between $15,000 USD and $18,000 USD."
"The DNA subscription is a three-year minimum term."
"This is not a cheap solution."
"It depends on what type of equipment you have and other things. We're about $17,000 a year."
"My company pays for Meraki MS Switches yearly. Pricing-wise, the product is relatively inexpensive."
"It's $150 per year for licensing on each 250 switch. The 425 switches are about $500 a year for the enhanced enterprise licenses."
"Meraki MS Switches is a pricey product. You have to get a license for each product annually. It would have been perfect if there were product bundles."
