Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN Reviews

I work for an elementary school and Meraki's used to cover the entire building with wifi. It's not just a specific location. We're a kindergarten through sixth-grade school — an elementary school.

In terms of the product, it's been very good for us. They don't have all of the tools built-in that we would like to have such as heat mapping, but when it comes to managing it, it is straightforward and easily operated. We're able to automate as well as manually control as necessary.

This solution could benefit from a heat mapping ability so that you can tell where the hotspots are, and where the good signals are. To have that be available from within the management software would be fantastic.

We've been using this solution for four years.

Stability-wise, it's excellent. However, the software cannot tell us where there are issues. It would be nice if it could point them out to us, but without that event's information, it's more of a challenge. In terms of when we see that it's working, we know that it will be working, period. It's simply reliable.

It's very scalable. We could increase the system we have, but because of its age, we actually need to replace the entire thing at once. So instead of doing it piecemeal and having some of the older products remain while we put in a new product, we would rather replace the whole system. 

We have not used Meraki support directly. We haven't had any problems that were so horrible that we needed their assistance.

We're looking at whether to replace Meraki or go with ruckus or Aruba. There are all sorts of options for us. The signal coverage has been quite good with Meraki, but we just simply are in need of a stronger system than what we have now. 

I was very surprised. The initial setup was very straightforward. 

We had a company (reseller) install this solution because we needed so many access points. Once they put it in place and did the initial configuration, everything was straightforward and easily managed.

I don't recall the licensing cost. There is a hardware cost and separate licensing. We did buy the free lessons, but I can't recall how much it cost.

In terms of caution, I don't have any advice. In terms of a recommendation, it's been a very stable system for us. However, because our needs grew exponentially when we had to go one-to-one for students, this has made things too complicated. That's why we're looking into upgrading and replacing the whole system. Still, Meraki is not off of our list while we're considering new solutions.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of ten.

We are a Cisco reseller and the Meraki Wireless LAN is one of the products that we provide to our clients.

From a security perspective, this product has several advantages.

The user interface needs to be improved.

We would like to see the DNS Proxy and some additional security enhancements in the future.

We were using Cisco Wireless and are now migrating to Cisco Meraki.

Having a good price is important when we are providing quotations for projects.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We are a solution provider and Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is one of the products that we recommend to our customers for building their network and offering wireless internet access.

This product offers cloud-based configuration, so you can set it up from anywhere.

It is easy to operate and easy to manage.

When the license expires, access to the Cisco cloud stops immediately. They should introduce a grace period of 60 days after license expiry because as it is now, it automatically goes down and there is no grace period.

There should be better integration with other products. 

We have been using Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN for a couple of years.

The product is scalable and can do so on-demand. We have approximately 60 users, and we plan to continue using it in the future.

The support is good.

The initial setup is straightforward and installing an access point will take no more than three hours.

We deploy this product with our in house team, and two people are enough for deployment and maintenance.

In summary, this is a good product and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

I use this solution for wireless.

It is easy to manage and configure. The dashboard of Meraki is easy to use.

Currently, only a limited number of clients can connect to these devices.

I have been using this solution for three years.

Our clients are small and medium companies, and we didn't have any problems with scalability. Our clients may increase its usage in the future.

Their support is great. Its documentation is also good.

I used Juniper Mist. Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is easy to use in the cloud.

It is expensive.

I would rate Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN a nine out of ten.

We use Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN for enterprise wireless and hospitality wireless. We're using it to cater to all customer needs.

The cloud manageability feature is valuable. We can access it from anywhere. We don't have to get customers remote connections, we can simply log in using the internet, and they're easy to manage.

It would be better if they enable full integration with Cisco's cloud-based network in the next release. A couple of years back, we did an integration with Cisco Identity Services Engine. There we had some integration issues. Cisco had access in the portfolio, but Cisco Wireless wasn't fully compatible with that integration. If we sell Meraki, we can't promote some other Cisco products because there's a clash. 

I've been using Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN for around four years.

Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is a stable and reliable solution. We have a dedicated team to perform maintenance.

Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is scalable. We have some customers that own 100 branches and they're connected. There was no issue regarding scalability.

Cisco's technical support is good.

The initial setup is straightforward. It took us a few weeks to deploy, not much.

We implemented Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN as we're an integrator.

The price is on the high side when compared to Aruba. We pay for Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN on a yearly basis.

If you need a simple feature set, you can use Meraki basically without any issues.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN an eight.

We sell and provide technical support for the solution.

We have been using the solution for approximately three years.

I have found it to be stable.

The solution is scalable.

We have 15 employees and we provide support for the solution to our customers.

The price of the product could be cheaper.

I would recommend the solution to others, we have sold it to over 100 customers.

I rate Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN a nine out of ten.

We mainly are in retail, and we provide all kinds of wireless solutions. We use Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN for all kinds of use cases, and we are using its latest version.

Its flexibility, ease of management via the portal, and the variety of access points are the most valuable features.

I would like to see integration with sensors.

I have been selling this solution for five years.

It is very stable.

It is very scalable. Our customers have around 200,000 users.

Their technical support is really good. I just have to give them a call. They are there almost 24/7.

It is easy to install. I set up my own network within half an hour.

The cost is not so much for Wireless LAN, but when you have to get the security license, it costs a lot.

I would absolutely recommend this solution. We will keep selling this solution.

I would rate Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN an eight out of ten.

We are MSP, resellers. We provide solutions for customers.

Meraki is a good entry-level enterprise Wi-Fi solution.

Customers that have gone from SMB solutions into the Meraki have noticed an increase in satisfaction in the work.

The big draw is the ease of installation. It's easy to manage, and it's easy to implement.

It's a little bit customizable, but that's where it probably has one of its downfalls. It is not as feature-rich as some of the others.

The customization needs to be improved because it's pretty locked down. You can't customize it much.

In the next release of this solution, I would like to see the Radio Control feature included, and improved customization on the radios.

Also, it needs more ability to control it. It works well but you can really change it a lot.

We have been working with Cisco Meraki Wireless Lan for approximately 10 years.

They don't really have versions with Meraki. They have different access points.

It's a very stable product, very mature.

It is scalable, but it definitely suffers during really large implementations.

Technical support is good. They are pretty solid.

I think everywhere there's always improvement to be had. That's just kind of the big thing for technical support.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The usual requirements are less than thirty days to install. It's pretty quick.

We do our pre-installation survey, help design the network, and then implement it, test it, and then make adjustments as required.

Wi-Fi is a necessary evil. You have to have Wi-Fi, so I think that it's a situation where you have to put something in. 

Some of the companies have had a return on investments and they will generate revenue off of their Wi-Fi, but that's in hospitality for example.

It's a little bit different for those customers, who have to put a Wi-Fi solution in. 

This one from a budgetary standpoint is mid-range. It's not super expensive and it's not super cheap.

It's a good solution. 

A lot of customers pick it because it's got decent feature sets and it's not the most expensive in the market.

To anyone who is interested in using this solution, make sure that you're happy with their features and that it's the right solution. 

Look at all of its features and also look at its downfalls and/or weaknesses, as well.

Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is good, but not great.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
