We mainly use Meraki Location Analytics ( /products/meraki-location-analytics-reviews ) to locate equipment within our manufacturing facilities. We're not a public-facing organization, so our use case involves finding devices like printers or scanners that need maintenance.
I use Location Analytics occasionally to identify a rogue hotspot or to find the last location of a missing device. In some cases, if there is an interference issue, I might be able to determine the location. However, such instances are unusual.

Location Analytics helps us identify sites' traffic patterns, the number of clients served, whether it's a public venue or not, etc. Location Analytics is a hybrid situation. With MDM, you have a dashboard on the cloud and an agent on each machine. The MX has a mixture of cloud-based and onsite solutions. It depends on which product you're talking about, but it's a hybrid solution on the MDM. Location Analytics requires a full Meraki stack with firewall switches, which will give you full location analytics.

We are a solution provider and as part of our offering, we resell Meraki products. The Meraki Location Analytics solution is one of the products that we offer to our customers. We do a fully managed solution. My specific role is in design and our customers have a variety of use cases. For example, this can be used on a college campus where the equipment is installed in dorms for students to use. We have also worked on retirement businesses that have residents from all stages of life that live in different types of buildings. One of the features is a location service, where certain people can be easily located.
Cisco Meraki's location analytics and engagement solution displays real-time location statistics to improve customer engagement and loyalty across sites. Data collected by intelligent Meraki APs is synced with the Meraki cloud, automatically reported in the dashboard, and exported to third-party applications via the Cisco Meraki Location Analytics API.
