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

"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"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."
"Meraki's site-to-site VPN function is phenomenal, and the VLAN is simple to use and set up. If you need the VLAN to sort the networks out, that works very well. The performance is also excellent."
"The solution is scalable."
"Meraki MS Switches are rock solid."
"The features are great."
"The solution is efficient and easy to run."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to orchestrate the network from the cloud."
"Being able to look at every port and see what it is connected to is very useful."
"The support of the solution has always been very good; they're very knowledgeable and responsive, and we're satisfied with their level of attention."
 

Cons

"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"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 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."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"The lead time for delivery can be a challenge, and there is room for improvement in this area."
"The troubleshooting could be better."
"They're definitely missing some of the higher end data center Cisco features."
"In this solution, you are lacking a feature that Cisco Classic has that allows you to save your configuration with a serial cable."
"We aren't missing any features."
"This product is pricey. We are a relatively low-budget school, and for a low-budget school to have a system like this, which is a great help, it means that instead of being able to move faster towards implementing everything, we need to take very small steps."
"I wouldn't recommend these switches for most organizations because the cloud-based deployment is restrictive and comes with problems."
"The stability of the solution isn't ideal. We've had a lot of problems with the switches; they are unstable and unreliable, and we need to reboot them often."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"It would be better if they had a one-time purchase option instead of a subscription model."
"We paid for our switches outright, at a cost of between $15,000 USD and $18,000 USD."
"The price of Meraki MS Switches is less expensive than other similar solutions."
"The tool is expensive."
"With the solution that we currently have, I think it costs about 1,200 pounds a year. They bill on a yearly basis."
"This product is more than the competition, but you get what you pay for."
"They can get the price down for small businesses. The way I bought it, I paid hardly anything, and I got all my licensing with it. The firewall appliance is around $900, and the switches are around $150. This is for the device itself. For licensing, I signed at $70 or something like that for the switch. Technical Support is included in this."
"It depends on what type of equipment you have and other things. We're about $17,000 a year."
