Our main use cases for Cisco Meraki MX include using it as a firewall and for guest security, specifically for our wireless guest security, and we are using it as a security firewall, MX95. Regarding Auto VPN technology, we are using Cisco Meraki MX as a security device, and in security, we are using features such as VPN, site-to-site VPN, and guest sponsor access for Wi-Fi users. We are using Cisco Meraki MX as a security appliance for our guest users connected on the Wi-Fi network, and for VPN, we are using site-to-site VPN, which we find to be a very good solution compared to others. There are multiple features available; users can use Cisco Meraki MX as a firewall or the wireless controller. We have sold Cisco Meraki MX, and currently, no customer has used SD-WAN features yet. However, there is an ongoing project where we are using Cisco Meraki MX as an SD-WAN solution as part of our progress.
The main use cases for my customers with Meraki MX are cloud managed virtual controller, basically for managing the Wi-Fi, managing the switches, managing everything through software defined, cloud managed solutions. There is great flexibility with no need to be in the office every time to do network maintenance or for changing Wi-Fi passwords configurations specific, event based SSID creations. A lot of activities can be achieved in work from home scenarios as well. Many of the use cases nowadays involve majority of data center switches and data center firewalls being upgraded to Meraki MX for convenience, flexibility and software-defined solutions. Apart from this they also have the solution for the management of users logins based on the authorization authentication in a uniform manner. Many of these features are unique in the brand.
This is where most of my data is. It includes different geographical connectivity, SD-WAN, PSLAD, ISP load balancing, penetration testing, server spoofing, and active services.
We have other solutions as well; however, since we integrated Cisco switches, specifically Nexus nine thousand switches, we wanted a single solution that could manage all of it. We chose the Meraki solution, and it actually works well together. It is very easy to deploy and manage.

The primary use case for Meraki MX is to establish a wide Internet drive over the Internet. We use it as a perimeter firewall and also as an SD-WAN device to establish secure tunnels and dynamically route applications over the best available route.
We deploy Meraki MX for our customers. If a customer needs a full wireless network or an upgrade, we'll right-size a firewall, like an MX67, depending on whether they need a wireless or cellular backup. Typically, we deploy Meraki MX, which may accompany a Meraki switch, like MX120 or MX220, and we'll also include wireless access points. It all depends on what the customer needs. Typically, if we're going to put an MX firewall in, we layer that in along with a Meraki switch and Meraki access points as well.
Our clients use the solution mostly at the bank's small sites and branch offices. The appliance has security features like firewalls, DDoS protection, and threat prevention. It comes with additional licenses.

We are using the solution for end users with particular wireless infrastructures. We used it in a single branch to directly terminate the internet link.
We deploy for customers including automobile dealerships, medical locations, manufacturing, and cannabis. We implement the solution to allow easier management of the equipment involved in these industries.

We use it for the protection of our network and for access to our network Wi-Fi. We mainly use two products of Meraki. We use the MX Series router and Access Point MR. MX is a router, and its deployment is installed on-premises, but the management or administration is done on the cloud.

The primary reason we implemented this product is as a gateway router. That is the first functionality that we sought out for. It also has all of these built-in intrusion detection and malware protection firewall features. So, we are also using it for the firewall capability that is built into it.

We have migrated all wide area network (WAN) links from the conventional connection to the cloud-managed SD-WAN. We have all ranges. We are using the lowest model MX65 and the highest model MX450. We have deployed on-premises and on the cloud because the hardware requires an on-premises placement and then it works on the cloud. We have more than 1500 users. We have approximately 1500 employees, and we also have guests who are bringing their own devices. Some of the users have got multiple devices, so the number of users increases. When you look at the dashboard, you might find more than 3,000 end-user devices across the group.
Meraki MX Firewalls solutions are very customized for our groups. We are a worldwide group. We are currently implementing an IT solution worldwide. We have to replace old firewalls in the next couple of years in many countries. We are working on this project. We used Meraki MX 55005 firewalls previously. In between, we used many different firewalls from other companies. We won't be doing the acquisition of many new parts by these companies now. We have tested different brands of firewalls. We have to consolidate to handle a better solution. We chose Meraki because we are already familiar with the products. Meraki MX firewalls are one point, but also have good availability. We have many people from different countries in which we have Cisco contracts to serve. It's not only a technical aspect but also a commercial reason for our choice of Meraki.

Our primary use is perhaps a little unusual. Many of our clients like the product, or want to consider the product, and we own it so that we can do valid product comparison and testing.
We use Meraki MX firewalls with Cisco. Some features must go through Cisco to implement. What the application needs is not included in Meraki. I use Cisco to access a portal and they provide the features. Then we implement it in Meraki.

Security appliance/firewall and SD-WAN. With an advanced security license, the content filtering, IDS, and geographical blocking features are surprisingly good compared to using alternative solutions with no noticeable performance hit. The geographical blocking is a great security feature but you have to use with planning. I’ve managed to block a few vendors websites and mail servers without realizing what country those vendors were located in. When you’re not use to having geographical blocking the first time I had the problem it took a while to troubleshoot why the connectivity was missing. Sorta over secured myself. Not the MX’s fault.

I used the MX80 as primary FW in a small Office with 50 users. The options provide even non-FW-specialist a way to manage and block certain aspects of internet usage. The main purpose of the Meraki is to use Internet for Users. Not filter traffic for Servers. Together with other network gear you get an overall visibility into each client on the network. Thats is fantastic. Meraki offers free trails and you can get the entry level gear very cheap. The support model allows usage of the cloud management only if you have support. But then you get all features and updates. We now use the small MX as a VPN tunnel in the small offices. The SDWAN feature is great as it connects to any point if one is not available. Setup is easy as bam. Check it out.
