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 excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable features of Meraki MS Switches are simple deployment and administration. You can have all your switches in one place and manage them."
"It offers a compelling solution due to its cloud management capabilities and strong security features."
"If you're after a platform that is completely cloud compatible, a solution that will allow you to manage it from anywhere you need to be, then it's definitely a step in the right direction going forward."
"Quality of Service is easy to deploy. The ease of deployment, in general, is valuable. It is easy to do port configuration and VLAN assignments."
"Setting up a Meraki switch is fairly simple. It can be done by one manager and a senior engineer developer."
"The top feature of Meraki MS switches for me is Layer 7 application visibility. Another positive in general is that you don't need to set up a console to the switch itself; it dials in to a single dashboard where you can completely manage all your network devices."
"Setting up a switch can be performed prior to having your hands on the device. Once you purchase a Meraki switch you will get an email from Meraki with a code to add to your dashboard and then you can start setting up your switch so when it arrives it will download its configuration and be all setup."
 

Cons

"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"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."
"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 documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"The pricing is high and could be reduced."
"Management from a single dashboard is what I want to see from Meraki MS Switches."
"The price of Meraki MS Switches should come down, particularly for the Layer 3 switch, which is the most expensive switch."
"Licensing is the only thing I can complain about. It's expensive, but everything is these days."
"The traffic reporting should be better in Meraki MS Switches; we want to be able to see all the traffic and where it is going."
"The documentation could be more extensive. For example, it could describe more scenarios. It would be great if they could incorporate AI engines into the switching infrastructure and firewall so you can configure it to prevent intrusion. They have intrusion prevention and detection, but they could enhance it by incorporating AI into their firewall."
"This product depends on a cloud connection in order to function. If you have an unstable internet connection or other connectivity issues the product will not function as expected."
"Technical support could be better. Some support agents aren't adequately qualified to support us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"The tool is expensive."
"The solution is a bit on the pricey side."
"This product is more than the competition, but you get what you pay for."
"The Layer 3 switch is the most expensive switch."
"We paid for our switches outright, at a cost of between $15,000 USD and $18,000 USD."
"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."
"Its price is definitely competitive."
"It depends on what type of equipment you have and other things. We're about $17,000 a year."
