"We can deploy it and check in on our customers without having an on-site connection or an on-site infrastructure for elderly customers."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."

"The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to provide cloud access to configure and manage devices."

"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"There is only one particular thing that needs improvement. Sometimes, for example, when you need to open a ticket, although it's under the umbrella of Cisco, you still need to go to the Meraki support."
"We would like the solution to work on the pricing of the solution. It would be ideal if it could bring the overall costs down."
"The solution cannot be looked upon for one year or short term because you will pay back all the discounts they offer the next time you pay for renewal."
"The licensing isn't very customer-centric. They may have improved it, but previously, if you forgot to pay on a certain day, your service would be shut off."
"Cisco Meraki must improve the integration between its own family of products."
"Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN's management tools need enhancement."
"There could be more functionality."
"If they could work on the Meraki firewall hardware, and add SSL decryption as well as more application control and deep packet inspection, that would be ideal."
"Integrating with the firewall and management console was a little complex."
"The product's pricing is high and could be improved."
"We have a lot of overlapping wireless networks with a lot of cheap equipment that does not run on any rules or regulations. The best way to improve the wireless network, like in SonicWaves, is to defeat these networks by isolating, preventing them, or overcoming their wireless signal. We try to do that, but I live near an airport, and the AirPortRadar glitches my wireless network every nine seconds."
