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.

"Most of the features are cloud-based so it's easy to manage it from anywhere - even from your mobile."
"This is a sophisticated product with easy configuration that can save time and effort."
"The most valuable features are the cloud and throughput visibility, the ease of configuration, and being able to implement them into our umbrella DNS solution."

"Meraki MS Switches are rock solid."
"The switch supports various automation testing tools, and it's quite helpful for network troubleshooting as well."
 

Cons

"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"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."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"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."
"In terms of troubleshooting, if we get more tools there is an issue."
"We prefer Meeraki to be installed only on a local network rather than in a cloud-managed network. Meraki MS Switches are one of our largest categories, with over thirty-five deployed."
"The pricing needs to be more competitive with other products on the market."
"I haven't seen any specific return on investment from implementing Meraki MS Switches, as I can't provide any numbers."
"The throughputs, especially the throughput path, can be improved on the core switches."
"The price of the solution has room for improvement."
"I've had some hardware failure issues on the POE side on several switches across the years. There seems to be a problem with the POE ports of their unit system."
"Sometimes it's a little slow, but I think that's due to the pandemic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"One key challenge often encountered is the perception that strategic products like Cisco and Meraki tend to be more expensive than alternatives like Aruba."
"The tool is expensive."

"The yearly maintenance fee is $100 and you can purchase the switches used for about $200 each."
"The DNA subscription is a three-year minimum term."
"Extreme switches are more cost-effective than Cisco Meraki Switches."
"I don't have an issue with the price of this solution."
"The pricing is high and it is where we get the most pushback from customers."
