"The configuration from the firewall side could be improved a little bit more."

"The solution must provide more security features."

"Meraki is more or less intelligent load balancing, although a lot of features are missing that our SD-WAN solutions will have."

"The VPN client could be improved."

"We have a lot of problems with distribution. The late deliveries likely have to do with the time it takes for the fabrication of components. It is a principal problem at this moment."

"People are struggling a little bit with the lead times right now. It’s hard to actually get the hardware."

"It's a matter of cost and expenses that we may take some issue with."

"The deployment time of Meraki SD-WAN can vary. For someone new to the process, it could take a couple of hours. However, for someone with hands-on experience, such as myself, it only takes approximately two to three hours to set up the entire configuration."

"Pricing is a significant concern for me. Amongst all the firewall brands, Cisco is one of the most expensive options. Despite its reputation and security features, many customers opt for other brands, such as SonicWall because of their lower prices. These other brands offer similar features to Cisco but at a lower cost. Cisco's pricing is something that could be improved to attract more customers. The brand has a good reputation, but when it comes to budgeting and pricing, it is not always the first choice."

"Any license you buy until January 2021 gets you an extra year for that purchase."

"The solution offers yearly licenses and product lines or prices are readily available on their website."

"like everything else, it's negotiable."

"The pricing is fair, but if they can make it less it would be even more attractive."

"The tool is reasonably priced."
