We performed a comparison between Meraki Dashboard and Mist AI and Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The solution scales well."
"Scalability is one of Meraki Dashboard's strongest features. We have thousands of users if we're counting the end-users on our clients' network, but we have hundreds of clients."
"Meraki dashboard deserves an Oscar."
"The most valuable feature is the single pane of glass that gives you multisite visibility."
"An excellent dashboard that is currently unique in covering both SD-WAN and SD-LAN with built-in security."
"We find that Meraki has all the features you need to be able to enable complex network protocols for AV equipment. We deal with a streaming product over IP, and Meraki is fantastic at that."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to use and technically very complete. I can configure, do advanced troubleshooting in the dashboard, and reboot access points remotely."
"It is very stable and we have been using it for five years."
"Multi PSK (Pre-shared Key) is a very good feature in the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's really easy to provision and support. Those are its main features."
"Ability to control the access points by groups."
"The tool's best part is the GUI. It is user-friendly and fast due to AI features. The solution can help you fix things with AI, which is impressive."
"The Marvis feature of Mist AI, an artificial intelligence tool, is very useful."
"Natural language patching is an important feature."
"The most valuable aspect is that they operate on small microservices, offering numerous open APIs that enhance the value of our Wi-Fi network. This flexibility allows us to optimize various aspects such as workforce planning and occupancy management. The platform is highly open in the market, providing robust APIs for seamless integration with other tools. Currently, we leverage these capabilities at a building site, incorporating IoT sensors to gather data. The collected data is stored in a centralized location, and we plan to use AI for analysis. This analysis will include insights on peak activity times, humidity levels, temperature variations, and other relevant metrics within the building."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Price could be reduced."
"Meraki Dashboard's pricing could be improved."
"More integration would be an improvement."
"The one issue that we have had is that the VPN tunnel would go down unless you worked out with the ISP that you would be using a static IP address on the WAN interface."
"What we would like from the IT perspective is a lot more granular control, more visibility into the packets, into the routing, and things of that nature."
"There is a bit of a problem when you try to log in and you don't have a fixed IP address. If you're granting access, you need to log in by using the IP address. If your administrator's IP address is not a fixed IP address and it has changed, you might need to update the changed IP address in the interface. For this, you need to log in to the interface to update the IP address. This issue might not have so much to do with Meraki interface."
"The price could be lower because the license for access points is expensive."
"The solution has a limited routing table and needs improvement by increasing the numbers as well as providing a summarization for the table."
"If there's one thing I'd like to change, it's the pricing. They are quite expensive, but honestly, it's justified by the value they provide. However, for a simple Wi-Fi connectivity with basic security needs, there are alternatives in the market that offer comparable features at a more budget-friendly price."
"The user experience should be improved. It's not user-friendly."
"Regarding opportunities for improvement in Mist, it is notable for its robust cloud portal and integration of artificial intelligence into various services, creating a highly efficient environment for work. However, a drawback lies in the cost associated with its WiFi offerings. With a pricing range of twelve hundred to fifteen hundred dollars for a single Access Point, exclusive of the subscription, it is acknowledged as a relatively expensive solution in the realm of WiFi services. Despite this drawback, the positive attributes of Mist make it a noteworthy option."
"It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language."
"Mist AI and Cloud should be marketed more and focus on making partners in the industry."
"Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed."
"Configuration could be improved."
"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."
