Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Big Switch Networks, Juniper and others in Software Defined Networking (SDN)."t is very stable based on our experience and the application performance has been superb."
"Meraki SD-WAN is scalable."
"We have found the scalability to be good."
"The most valuable features of this solution are load balancing and the security possibilities you have."
"If there are multiple network connectivities in an organization, Meraki creates an AutoVPN. It creates a channel automatically."
"The solution operates via zero-touch configuration."
"It is easy to monitor and manage."
"It's made managing our client's networks extremely easy, regardless of my location. Being able to hop on my cell phone to see what's happening on a client's network makes everything much more manageable."
"The solution is stable and suitable."
"The most valuable features are the main steering and the firewall. The security features and SD-WAN features are also quite good."
"Versa FlexVNF is a scalable product because it does not have any hardware dependencies. This makes it a versatile solution that can be easily integrated with any firewall."
"The product has a dynamic VPN feature for SD-WAN."
"Our organization finds the application routing features extremely useful."
"The division of Control Plane and Data Plane is most valuable. It can be deployed anywhere, and you can control it and configure it from anywhere. This is one of the good features of this solution."
"Versa is a good centralized solution, where you're setting up your infrastructure in a data center type thing."
"Their dashboard is also a good point for us and the customer. The solution is very clean and easy."

"An area for improvement would be to add 4G bonding and allow Meraki devices to support dual 4G SIM cards."
"Meraki is lagging behind in using a single pipe from service providers. That is, it would be good if they could use both the internet leased line and broadband connectivity."
"Some systems use some applications with the wrong data application. It bypasses the network, and you need to block that application on Meraki. We first try to put in passwords to do it and the network is not really safe. It's not 100%, the network can be bypassed."
"With Meraki, it's more of a basic connectivity. It doesn't have all the feature sets that a Cisco SD-WAN solution has. It's limited."
"The VPN client could be improved."
"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."
"I would like improved stability in Meraki SD-WAN."
"The security and upgrading could improve in this solution."
"There are limitations when you connect from multiple locations. It does not work as expected. If you have more than 400 users, then it will choke. It will not perform as expected."
"I heard about them for the first time just before I started working on Versa. They do have blogs for information, but they could publicize more about the documentation and architecture. It doesn't seem to have that much exposure, and they should work on their customer base more."
"The solution lacks a mobile version where small, manageable platforms can be developed."
"The smaller units lack a lot of functionality."
"We are thinking about how to make customers consolidate the loads to an SD-WAN network so that the customers can have bigger chunk from the SD-WAN side so that customers can have critical data be transferred with NPS VPN and non-critical data or some labeled traffic can be transferred by the SD-WAN network. I think it's a very important direction for digital transformation."
"Future releases should contain AI for the voice feature."
"The interface could be simpler."
"The security should be improved."
