Has a single dashboard, but is expensive

Seamless connectivity and comprehensive control over network devices
All of the features we are looking for are already in control. I think those features, which we are not currently utilizing, are already there. For example, the control for the cameras and everything else. The cameras are not connected through Meraki, but all other devices are on Meraki networks.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"Easy to configure with great troubleshooting feature."
"It is very stable and we have been using it for five years."
"It's a simple, functional solution."
"You don't have to be a network engineer to use it."
"An excellent dashboard that is currently unique in covering both SD-WAN and SD-LAN with built-in security."
"Scalability is one of Meraki Dashboard's strongest features. We have thousands of users if we're counting the end-users on our clients' network, but we have hundreds of clients."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use and a single-pane-of-glass that allows us to identify issues across the entire network from one dashboard."
"What I found most valuable in the Meraki Dashboard is straight monitoring of the different devices, as well as the ability to easily set up VPNs, for example, both Meraki client VPNs and non-Meraki VPNs for different organizations that work with my company. I also like that the tool is a really good firewall."
 

Cons

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"They could offer API functionality for Meraki Dashboard. It will help us develop software immediately using available solutions."
"Not a lot of training is available."
"I’d like the product to allow for other solutions to be integrated with the dashboard as well."
"Meraki Dashboard could improve the user interface by making it more user-friendly. The configuring can at times be difficult."
"It's a very complex system. Customers have told me that sometimes there are lots of advanced features that are available and that you can change in the dashboard, but sometimes it's very hard to know what they are."
"The initial setup is complex and can be made more straightforward."
"Meraki Dashboard could improve integration with non-Cisco platforms."
"Third-party switches do not necessarily integrate easily with the system and this could be improved to allow for better adaptation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"You don't have to pay for the dashboard."
"My view is that it's expensive, but it's the best."
"The pricing for a small setup is only a few hundred dollars a year. The fee is subscription-based."
"Licensing for Meraki Dashboard is paid every year, and it's on a per-device model that costs roughly $300 to $400 per device, but that comes with full support and troubleshooting, etc. Compared to similar products, Meraki Dashboard is quite high-end, but the costs you pay are all-in."
"Licensing is around under 1000 pounds. The licensing is either one year, three years, five years or ten years and during the licensing, we can choose to renew it per year or per every three years. We've got a license for three years. It's about 160 or about 200 pounds each."
"The Meraki Dashboard has more competitive pricing."
"Meraki Dashboard's pricing is reasonable. It is sold yearly, typically for one, three, or five years. I rate its pricing a five out of ten."
"I’m not sure of the exact cost, however, it’s my understanding the Meraki WiFi is around $800. That’s for a three-year license. It’s about $150 a year."
