Cons
"Perimetral security for new requirements on financial networks and DRP systems, like SAP.""The only area for improvement in Meraki SD-WAN is its licensing model, as well as its cost structure.""An area for improvement would be to add 4G bonding and allow Meraki devices to support dual 4G SIM cards.""There is still some work to do when it comes to AI.""They stopped doing WAN optimization as a feature set, which is lacking. They need to relook at that and consider WAN optimization as an option.""Overall, we are satisfied with the support, although I cannot state this unequivocally.""Some of the on-premise security features of Meraki SD-WAN are on the cloud and some of my customers do not want to use the cloud.
