Greatly simplifies troubleshooting; remote access to the router is a huge time saver
The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents. I can always call technical support and ask them if I forget something and I'll get the support, but I shouldn't need to do that. Anything can be improved and unfortunately a good switch is not cheap but there's no choice if you need a special router.

Cloud-managed switches have simplified remote branch access while maintaining strong performance
Cisco is a very stable platform. Even though we haven't upgraded firmware and all that for a long time, it can still perform. Unlike the other switches in the infrastructure where you find you have to constantly upgrade, they will warn you about vulnerability and all those. When you're scanning, it will tell you that there's a lot. For Cisco, once there's a release of firmware and all that, it's always very stable for a period of time. We have not replaced Cisco switches, apart from issues to do with product or power failure and maybe other reasons. We have not replaced them quite often compared to these other products. They are quite resilient.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"The solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"I found the cloud-managed dashboard most valuable in Meraki MS Switches."
"I use it at work and at home and I don't have any issues."
"For me, the best functionality is provided by Meraki for any device, and the ability to manage the devices from the online dashboard is great."
"The most valuable feature about Meraki is the console. The second most valuable feature, to me, is the technical support and the infrastructure behind the console."
"The feature that I find most valuable in managing network traffic with Meraki MS Switches is the possibility to have an overall view from the web portal, along with alerts and logs that are analyzed by an AI tool to provide a straight read and pre-analyzed reasons for problems, which improves network troubleshooting."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"The most valuable feature of Meraki MS Switches is user-friendliness."
"This is a sophisticated product with easy configuration that can save time and effort."
 

Cons

"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"While the solution is good for the light commercial market or for the residential market, it's not ideal for the commercial market, for example, a big enterprise or data center."
"The improvement needed for Meraki MS Switches is the ability to connect in the worst case when I encounter internet issues."
"It's somewhat difficult to contact technical support, there are several manual steps involved. If you don't know the process, it can take time."
"Performance is an area in need of improvement. Other systems, such as Juniper switches, perform better for the same or less money."
"The product is not scalable. It's a physical device and therefore limited."
"It could be more advanced and secure. Meraki MS Switches are ideal for a mid-sized enterprise. But you can't work with this appliance if you need more security or want to do complex or advanced things. Technical support could be better."
"Less flexibility than in some other solutions."
"The biggest area that they fall short on is comparing the performance."
"The solution isn't scalable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"It's $150 per year for licensing on each 250 switch. The 425 switches are about $500 a year for the enhanced enterprise licenses."
"It would be better if they had a one-time purchase option instead of a subscription model."
"The product's licensing cost is about 30% to 40% of the hardware cost."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"Extreme switches are more cost-effective than Cisco Meraki Switches."
"The price of Meraki MS Switches is high."
"This product is quite expensive."
"The licensing is purchased on a one, three, five, and seven year basis."
