Rock-solid connectivity and WiFi coverage
It's a hardwired solution so our customers do not have to use a mesh network — I really dislike that. It causes too much delay, etc. As with any product, there is always room for improvement. A good router is not cheap. A good switch is not cheap. Let's say somebody develops a new frequency — 7GHz. Well, in that case, you'd need a special router. I have some customers who request Cat7 for their homes. That's way too much. So I'd say, "What are you going to run over here? Let's just run fiber optics. Then the customer will respond, "Well, I read somewhere and other people have told me that if you're going to wire your house, go with Cat7." I'd say, "Sir, you're not going to even utilize Cat5e." I use Cat5e, and believe it or not, I can pump at 10 gigabits per second with Cat5e. The same was true with ePoE — now we have ePoE+. Some switches with ePoE cannot supply as much juice as the modern ePoE+, which requires much more power. The basic switch doesn't have the capacity to deal with that. The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic. It pretty much just covers some basic IP information, defense, and how to change the administrator password — that's pretty much it. I am a dealer, I shouldn't have to contact support for basic answers.

Remote access enhances troubleshooting with potential for more intuitive interface
We are working with Citrix and router, but in Cisco for Cisco vendor only. We are taking from them since 2015.  The main use case involves some small business customers needing one router, one switch, and two to three access points. It is easy to handle the devices with just a small knowledge of…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ePoE+ is great."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"You can access a single pane of glass and configure all the devices via the same access."
"The solution is scalable."
"To me, this is a product that meets all of the needs that anyone could possibly have for a networking device."
"The management is cloud-based so you do not have to be on-premises to work with it."
"Its cloud feature and cloud management are great. They are the most valuable aspects."
"One of the most valuable features of Meraki MS Switches is its precise traffic analytics capabilities, allowing us to query the system for any place at any time."
"he product is easy to integrate with other software tools."
"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

"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"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."
"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."
"The pain point for our customers is the pricing and it should be reduced to make it more competitive."
"I would like to see improvements to the dark mode in the next release, as I prefer the dark mode."
"It would be helpful to have more features like an iOS interface."
"It would be good to include the command-line access someday."
"Communication of compliance risk is awkward at best and threatening at worst. It needs to be addressed."
"When we do any changes to the core switch it causes the devices to reboot."
"Their subscription model could be better. Some of our customers prefer a one-time payment to a monthly or yearly subscription model, so they don't buy the product. Technical support could also be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"It is very expensive so I want it to be cheaper."
"The price of Meraki MS Switches is less expensive than other similar solutions."
"Meraki is not an expensive switch, like Cisco."
"When you compare it to other switches like HP, Juniper, and Ruckus, Meraki MS Switches are cheaper."
"It would be better if they had a one-time purchase option instead of a subscription model."
"It is very expensive so I want it to be cheaper."
"The pricing is overvalued in relation to the product's performance."
"The product's licensing cost is about 30% to 40% of the hardware cost."
