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

"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"The solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"The product is very straightforward."
"The solution is stable."
"Overall, this is a good product and I am actively promoting it."
"Meraki MS Switches has a pretty wide range of models so that we can fit solutions whichever way or whichever specialization of the network is required, and we can find specific models which will suit any situation."
"The most valuable features of Meraki MS Switches are simple deployment and administration, and you can have all your switches in one place and manage them."
"I found the cloud-managed dashboard most valuable in Meraki MS Switches."
"This product has QoS, decent visibility of what's going on, and it's a managed switch."
"Setting up a switch can be performed prior to having your hands on the device. Once you purchase a Meraki switch you will get an email from Meraki with a code to add to your dashboard and then you can start setting up your switch so when it arrives it will download its configuration and be all setup."
 

Cons

"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"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 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."
"Losing customers due to the means of enforcement of the subscription service is pretty ill-advised."
"We would like the solution to lower its costs."
"The traffic reporting should be better in Meraki MS Switches. We want to be able to see all the traffic and where it is going. Additionally, detailed device utilization information would be very helpful for the security personnel."
"Meraki should include an application to assist users with the design of access points."
"Sometimes the controller in the cloud that controls the access points does not have the most accurate information. There is sometimes a glitch in keeping the management controller that is in the cloud up to date."
"Unfortunately, they don't have an upgrade path, so if you need a higher model, you need to buy a new one."
"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."
"It might be perceived as more of a niche product, partly due to its name, as it's still not entirely recognized by the market."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"When you compare it to other switches like HP, Juniper, and Ruckus, Meraki MS Switches are cheaper."
"Its price is definitely competitive."
"The solution is a bit on the pricey side."
"The price of Meraki MS Switches is high."
"It depends on what type of equipment you have and other things. We're about $17,000 a year."
"One key challenge often encountered is the perception that strategic products like Cisco and Meraki tend to be more expensive than alternatives like Aruba."
"The pricing is overvalued in relation to the product's performance."
"Meraki is not an expensive switch, like Cisco."
