"From our perspective, ThousandEyes stands out as an invaluable tool because of its deep and extensive capabilities."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"If I am a user and I have a seat on the fourth floor, if I move across the building, the system should be able to track me and should be able to figure out my whereabouts or my position within the building if I'm connected to the wireless. That would make the administrator's life easier in terms of reachability."
"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."
"They can improve the landing page in Meraki Dashboard. When I go into an organization, they can include a lot more infographics. They can also simplify it a bit and consolidate it. For example, if I've got five branches and I go into customer A's profile or organization, I'd like to see an infographic on the landing page providing a snippet of the entire network layout, that is, all branches in one snapshot. From there, I would like to go into the network that I want to work on or view."
"Price could be reduced."
"Something that needs to be improved, is the fact that you if you don't renew the subscription license, it stops working. I would also like to see SSL BPM support for anything else."
"More integration would be an improvement."
"This solution can be quite complicated to configure and manage, unless you have a technical person with specific knowledge working on it."
"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."
"The guest portal is hard to use."
"Presently, it lacks the ability to integrate with other Cisco products."
"Once I fully use the tool 100%, I'm sure I would have something to critique, however, for now, I'm happy with it."
"There is room for improvement in terms of customization and user-friendliness."
"I would like the product to offer more agility."
"It's an expensive solution."
"They only offer synthetic requests."
"ThousandEyes could improve the dashboards by adding more features."
