Pros

"I like Location Analytics' geofencing features for devices. You can manage thousands of devices with just a push of a button and deploy applications in seconds. For example, in schools, you can deploy an app update for thousands of iPads in just two clicks."
"If you can afford this solution, it's worth every dime in terms of what you get out of it."
"Technical support has always been very good."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"The pricing and licensing for Meraki are good, and I would rate it as a nine out of ten."
"In general, it is helpful because it allows administrators to see where the Wi-Fi and network services are being most used."
"The stability of the solution is excellent, and I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"I use Location Analytics to identify rogue hotspots and find the last location of missing devices."
"Considering all aspects of price or features or comfort working with it, it is the best."
"A very good self service BI tool Allows connecting multiple data sources"
"Due to Panorama Necto, everything becomes centralized now, so anyone can easily access their reports from a central repository."
"It is an awesome tool, with really cool features such as being able to find relevant people when commenting on a data element, helping you quickly find the right people to solve problems, add them to a discussion, and get fast resolutions while storing all discussion histories in one place."
"I have recently started working on this tool, and being a novice to the analytic field, I feel quite comfortable with this tool even during my beginner sessions."
"It has smart computing abilities to deliver some of the complex analytical requirements such as what-if analysis, pinpointing the actual issues and side-by-side comparison of business factors."
"Interactive and eye-catchy graphs and widgets, real time conditional notifications on related KPIs to the users, exception handling capabilities, and the capability to connect to multiple data source systems make it a nice conglomeration for flexibility to the developer and an end user friendly tool."

"I would like to see all of the features included in a single package."
"Support for other languages should be provided."

"The performance with large data volumes needs to be improved."
"Administration is an area where it needs improvement as a huge set of scripts are required."
"It should have quick connection and efficient data management for big data platforms such as Hadoop."
