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 ePoE+ is great."
"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 solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"I like the portal, it's really interesting."
"The performance is pretty good."
"I use it at work and at home and I don't have any issues."
"The support is excellent and rated ten out of ten."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"We like that it can work on a cloud basis, giving the customer a choice to operate from a central location and control everything from there, providing a proactive approach to networking for IT infrastructure that will bring better uptime and availability to the network."
"Cisco is a very stable platform, and even though we haven't upgraded firmware for a long time, it can still perform, unlike other switches where you have to constantly upgrade due to vulnerabilities."
"It's well worth the time and effort to get the solution going and use it in the future."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"At times, we didn't know whether the switch was operating or not so we have to take the console and we have to do some troubleshooting."
"The firewall is not very powerful."
"The product has no CLI."
"It would be great if the switch can identify the IP address connected to the network port. It seems most of the switches cannot identify the IP address. They can identify the MAC address but not the IP address."
"Unfortunately, they don't have an upgrade path, so if you need a higher model, you need to buy a new one."
"We have dealt with a few minor bugs."
"Better alerting capabilities are needed because they do not provide enough notification or detail about events."
"The solution needs to improve its scalability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"We paid for our switches outright, at a cost of between $15,000 USD and $18,000 USD."
"Meraki MS Switches is a pricey product. You have to get a license for each product annually. It would have been perfect if there were product bundles."
"The only drawback is the cost — that's what kills them."
"The yearly maintenance fee is $100 and you can purchase the switches used for about $200 each."
"My company pays for Meraki MS Switches yearly. Pricing-wise, the product is relatively inexpensive."
"The price of the solution has room for improvement."
"I don't have an issue with the price of this solution."
