Meraki SD-WAN Reviews

The centralized console manageable from the cloud is one of the advantages.

There should be a few more options for security parameters. It is currently not very customizable. It should be a little bit more customizable. 

I have been using this solution for around four years. I am currently using its latest version.

It is very stable.

It is scalable.

Their support is good.

It is very simple.

I would rate it a nine out of ten.

We are a system integrator and Meraki SD-WAN is one of the products that we have implemented for our clients.

One of our simple use cases is an ISP environment where they required redundant connectivity.

The most valuable feature is the ease of configuration.

The management can be done through the cloud.

It is easy to monitor and manage.

This vendor has issues with the supply chain that need to be improved.

I have been working with Meraki SD-WAN for approximately a year and a half.

For the small environments that we have used it in, this has been a stable product.

We have not really used this solution in any big deployments. As such, we haven't needed to scale it up.

We have set it up for approximately four clients of varying sizes.

We have never had to contact technical support.

I have also been working with the Fortinet SD-WAN for the past two to three years.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward.

In the environment that we most recently set it up in, the deployment took perhaps half a day.

We implement this product for our customers.

We also offer after-sales support. Each customer has what we call technical account managers. These are engineers with a post-sales function.

Our clients pay Meraki an annual licensing fee and the pricing is not too bad when compared to other products in the Cisco portfolio.

This is a product that I recommend. My advice for anybody who is interested in this product is that if you want a simple to configure SD-WAN deployment that's easy to monitor and manage, Meraki is a good fit.

That said, the price could always be better.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

The primary use cases are bandwidth management, link aggregation, firewall features, and centralized monitoring.

The most valuable feature is the firewall capability. It's also got a very good graphical user interface and is very easy to manage.

An area for improvement would be to add 4G bonding and allow Meraki devices to support dual 4G SIM cards.

I've been working with Meraki for around two years.

The stability is very good.

This solution is very scalable.

Meraki does not have a very good support system in India.

The initial setup is simple, except that we don't have a proper point of contact in India who can address our questions properly.

Meraki's pricing is on the higher side, which may limit who can afford to use them.

We've had some problems with deliveries and with a lack of clarity on the vendors' part about timescales, which has created problems between us and our customers. I think this solution is best suited for small-to-medium enterprises, but it's good for big companies too. I would rate it as eight out of ten.

We are resellers, meaning we are a certified partner of Meraki and, as such, it is my job to sell Meraki products to our customers on the Korean market. Occasionally, I encounter issues concerning the price. It would be good if the price were more attractive to the market. The pricing is not that cost-effective to the customer. 

Cisco potential or actual customers who use Cisco classing models, such as 2,900 switches and other routers, must consider the management of the Cisco product in respect of the desired implementation and not just the classing models. It would be much better were Meraki to provide comprehensive virtual management tools. 

The Cisco market team provides customers with any technical support they may need. Overall, we are satisfied with the support, although I cannot state this unequivocally, since there are certain issues we have encountered when opening a ticket.

We have been using Meraki SD-WAN for more than five years.

When it comes to the question of the solution's broader stability, I would state that it is stable. Cisco classic models boast the best stability, although Meraki is also fine. I can say that it is quite stable, as well. 

The solution is scalable. 

The Cisco market team provides customers with any technical support they may need. Overall, we are satisfied with the support, although I cannot state this unequivocally, since there are certain issues we have encountered when opening a ticket. 

From the perspective of the customer, the price is not terribly cost-effective. It should be more attractive to the market. 

We use the solution both in our company and in those of our customers. 

I am very happy with the solution. Meraki is one of the innovative products. 

There are two people working with the product in our company. 

As I am not a technical person, I cannot comment on these aspects of the solution, although I can state that Viptela provides the depth and additional functions and features which Meraki SD-WAN lacks. The latter is more suited to the need to have just some basic pictures of SD-WAN. 

I rate Meraki SD-WAN as an eight out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for basic connectivity. That's about it at this time. 

The simplicity of getting connected is the solution's most valuable aspect.

The solution has been stable so far. It's reliable and the performance is good. 

We have found the product to be quite scalable. 

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 product needs to offer connectivity in the major clouds due to the fact that everybody has at least part of their workloads in the cloud.

We have found the solution to be stable. There are no bugs or glitches. The performance is good. We don't worry about it crashing or freezing. It's reliable. 

The solution has been scalable so far. A company needing to scale should have no problems expanding it.

Meraki support is very similar to Cisco support. It's fine. I don't have any issues with them.

We are also familiar with other Cisco solutions.

I'd advise those considering the solution to first understand what they are buying before making the purchase.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

As far as connectivity goes, Meraki does what it promises. However, it's basic connectivity.

I have been using this solution in my house for testing security devices.

I have found the dashboard very useful, you can configure all of your devices at the same time by just changing some menus. It is configurated virtually on the cloud and it can send the information to the device when it connects to the internet.

You need to have internet access to configure the solution. You cannot do it locally, there should be a local option.

When comparing this solution to Fortinet, the firewall and reports that you can deliver and control relating to blocking and access are better on Fortinet. Additionally, you can only have two WANs on this solution and with Fortinet, you can have at least six. However, I prefer this solution.

I rate Meraki SD-WAN an eight out of ten.

The solution has many features available.

The security and upgrading could improve in this solution.

In an upcoming release, they could add more security features, such as antivirus.

I have been using the solution for approximately one year.

We have not had any problems with the stability of the solution.

The solution is scalable.

I have used Fortinet previously and this solution has a few more features that are beneficial. However, Fortinet is more secure.

The initial setup is simple.

This solution is more expensive than competitors.

I rate Meraki SD-WAN an eight out of ten.

The most valuable Meraki SD-WAN features for me are cloud management and Auto VPN. 

The product could be improved by being made more simple to use. We had some issues integrating our MPLS with Meraki SD-WAN 

Some features that should be included in the next release are micro-segmentation, ITS-related features, and inspection and detection for anti-malware. 

I also think that they need to improve their hardware. They have some devices that support Wi-Fi, but not LTE and they have some other devices that only support LTE but not Wi-Fi. 

I have been using this solution for two years. 

Meraki SD-WAN is a very stable solution. 

Meraki SD-WAN is a very scalable solution. 

In my experience, they have good technical support available. 

The initial Meraki SD-WAN setup is straightforward. Implementing this solution for a client with some 20 branches would take a week or two. 

Two to five people are necessary for the deployment and maintenance of this solution. 

When choosing this solution, our customers most often consider the level of simplicity Meraki SD-WAN provides relative to its price. 

I think the price for this solution is fair.
