We performed a comparison between Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN and WatchGuard Secure Wi‑Fi based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Wireless LAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The solution is very secure."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"The settings of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN can be very granular. You can lock down and block devices with the controls. For example, we have four different wireless settings, such as guest, employee, security, and backup. For example, the settings for the employees, if they use laptops, they're required to have certain settings, such as an antivirus installed. If they do not then Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN will not let them connect. This is very good protection because the network works on the bringing your own device(BYOD) principle. It's a BYOD environment now, and you also don't want them to bring infection into the environment because these people are connecting to the LAN via wireless connections. We have to be careful because we're managing it, we have to be very strict with regards to the rules and policies."
"I have found it to be stable."
"I really don't have any problems with the stability of the product."
"The solution ensures seamless connectivity as users move within the office. Six installed Meraki APs provide excellent coverage for around three hundred users, offering reliable speeds. Additionally, the system allows guests and users with priority devices to connect using their SAP ID. The traffic is managed through D and G controllers to meet the specified requirements for continuous connection and speed."
"The primary value lies in the ease of configuration; these products seamlessly integrate, and work well together."
"It's simple to manage when there's a problem."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is that it is fast and does the job."
"The flexibility, since it's a cloud service, is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"It makes it easy to obtain all information about the client experience."
"The solution has been stable."
"They're very easy to set up and get running."
"Cloud analytics that provide all its attributes."
"We like that WatchGuard works and integrates directly with the firewalls we use."
"The Wi-Fi security features of this solution have been great for our customers who need to strictly control access to their network."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"The solution is expensive."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The price could be better."
"Documentation could be improved, but everything else has been spot-on."
"I would like to see them improve their support where an assigned engineer can take the case all the way to closure. Usually, you get a different engineer calling regarding the same ticket."
"The only concern is when the license has expired and it will no longer function, the entire network goes down, without any notification, or warning."
"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."
"We'd like to have better mapping to showcase low-coverage areas."
"Licensing is, in my opinion, the least appealing component. It can be difficult to keep licenses up to date in order for the system to function properly."
"It lags a bit in providing reports for Wi-Fi performance."
"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."
"Inability to import a user with one click."
"One of the things is if you buy it with a certain subscription, you can't easily change the subscription level."
"The price of this solution needs to reviewed, as it is currently high enough to deter customers from trying it."
"The solution can be scaled but it has limitations from my experience."
"If a client device had issues with authentication due to out of date browser or similar difficulties, it would be nice to have the ability to migrate the client onto the portal via one click."
"I don't think they're available at the best price."
