I rate Meraki MS Switches a nine out of ten.

I am using Meraki MS Switches as a network switch. We can monitor the device and end-users on the Meraki Cloud Dashboard.

The most valuable feature of Meraki MS Switches is user-friendliness.

There are some limitations in Meraki MS Switches. Other switches have more options, such as the Cisco Catalyst Switch.

I have been using Meraki MS Switches for approximately six months.

Meraki MS Switches are stable.

The scalability of Meraki MS Switches is good.

I have received good technical support from Meraki MS Switches.

Meraki MS Switches are simple to set up. The deployment of the solution takes approximately two hours.

The price of Meraki MS Switches is less expensive than other similar solutions.

My advice to others is to create a proper dashboard and configuration.

I rate Meraki MS Switches a nine out of ten.

Mainly, we do some configurations and allow for ports to be opened on the firewall. 

For the most part, the solution has been stable.

The solution can scale fairly well. 

The cloud-based deployment is very straightforward.

We have dealt with a few minor bugs. 

We would like the solution to lower its costs. 

I've been using the solution for one year.

The solution is largely stable and reliable. That said, we have faced some very minor bugs here and there. It hasn't been a big deal in general.

The scalability is good. It's likely as scalable as Aruba, for example. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so. 

We have 150 people using the solution currently.

We've never contacted technical support. I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

We also work with Aruba.

I've also worked with FortiSwitch in the past, at a different job.

We have found the initial setup to be easy. If it is cloud-based, it's a really easy installation. There is no need for a reprogram mission or something like that or to even worry about having to do some coding. 

I cannot recall how long the deployment took. However, it does depend on the internet connection. As a cloud-based solution, you need to download all the configurations from the headquarters. 

You only need one manager and two technicians to handle the deployment and maintenance tasks. 

Users do have to pay to license the solution. 

The pricing could be lowered a bit.

I would recommend the solution, however, it depends on the project. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

We are using Meraki MS Switches as a network device in our organization.

Meraki MS Switches have a very user-friendly dashboard and the policies are straightforward for sending them to the devices and blocking sites.

The traffic reporting should be better in Meraki MS Switches. We want to be able to see all the traffic and where it is going. Additionally, detailed device utilization information would be very helpful for the security personnel.

The solution VPN is based on Windows features. They have to come up with their own solution because of what is happening, sometimes it is connecting and sometimes not. If they had their own tool, these types of issues can be mitigated.

I have been using Meraki MS Switches for approximately six months.

I rate Meraki MS Switches an eight out of ten.

I find administration management and the cloud to be valuable features.

The scalability and integrative abilities with on-premises systems could stand improvement. 

I am talking about the monitoring features and those directly concerning the internal management systems. The stock switches should be more reliable. 

The solution is a bit on the pricey side. 

The solution is stable. 

The scalability could be better. 

The technical support is fine. 

The initial setup and deployment are easy. 

The price could be lower. 

We are satisfied with the solution when it comes to that concerning a small environment. 

I use the solution in my company. 

I rate Meraki MS Switches as a seven out of ten. 

We typically use the solution at the client site. 

All switching technologies are pretty much the same. The best thing I could say is that I like how I can see everything on one dashboard along with the access point in MX. I prefer how you see everything in the dashboard easily, with no command-line interface. It makes it easy to check in to Meraki and easy to configure.

They're easy to update. Everything seems to be stable with Meraki switches the last couple of years.

We support clients and we do a lot of stuff remotely, and we can easily see everything remotely. You don't need to be a network engineer to support Meraki.

The setup is easy. It's pretty plug-and-play.

A while back, there were some update problems.

Pricing is higher than other options.

Technical support hold times seem to be getting longer. 

I've been working with the solution for about four or five years or so. It's been a while. 

The stability of the solution is very good. Currently, there are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and the performance is good. 

The solution is scalable, however, it depends on which model you buy. We usually buy one that's stackable, in case we need to add more. We can easily stack them when we need to expand.

You don't need to be a network engineer to support Meraki. We often support our clients and can do it remotely, which is helpful.

Technical support directly from Meraki is very friendly and they are knowledgeable folks. As of late, however, since maybe the last year or so ago, the hold time seems a bit longer. That said, the support personnel, the knowledge, it's all top-notch to me. It's just the time being on hold, it's getting longer and longer.

The initial setup is not difficult or complex. We find it to be very, very easy. A company shouldn't have any issues with the initial setup.

While the pricing is a bit high and a bit of a drawback, its ease of use makes the price almost worth it.

I'm a consultant. 

If you don't have a dedicated network engineer, I would highly recommend Meraki.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. The switch is great. The price, however, is a bit high.

I am a customer of Meraki. 

A good feature of Meraki is that you can access a single pane of glass and you can configure all the devices via the same access and just change the menus.

This product doesn't enable a local configuration without internet access. If you compare this product to Fortinet the granularity of blocks that you can do related to the firewall and reports that you can deliver and control about blocking all access on Fortinet is more than Meraki. And when you talk about number of WANs that you can put on the device, Meraki can have only two WANs and when you have Fortinet you can have at least six sources of WAN.

I rate this solution a 10 out of 10. 

I had to provide solutions for a pharmaceutical company, where data plays a very important role. This is where testing takes place and security is critical, and they have a lot of security on-site. If you want to have more VLANs and so on, you can do it through a core switch.

It all depends on the customer's requirements. For example, if the customer uses SAP HANA, they will go for a new direct server. On the new direct server, you have an output of 10 GBs, and based on the output and the number of users, I provide the solution to the customer.

It also depends on the application. For example, in SAP HANA, it'll depend on all the customer's modules, how many servers will make a Nutanix server, for example, 12 to 16 servers, and the number of users. 

The cloud part of Meraki Switches is very good. They also have a good GUI. It's a complete solution. I like the switching and the monitoring part.

The throughputs, especially the throughput path, can be improved on the core switches. I think they should improve the throughput in the core switches to enable higher throughputs. A little bit of training for customers like online training would definitely help us.

I provided a couple of Cisco Meraki solutions to clients last year. 

Meraki MS Switches are stable.

Meraki MS Switches are scalable.

Technical support is good. Our team is already certified in this area, and if anything critical happens, we try to log into their portal. If not, we'll have our own tech support handle it.

On the switching front, I have provided a lot of solutions on Juniper and also on HP Aruba.

The installation is not a problem at all. It takes about a day to configure all the systems.

We have about four or five people working with Meraki switches.

When you compare it to other switches like HP, Juniper, and Ruckus, Meraki MS Switches are cheaper.

I would recommend Meraki MS Switches. I like Cisco Meraki Switches, and I have friends who've been using them. They're a couple of system integrators who only use Meraki.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Meraki MS Switches a seven.
