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.

Central management and cloud dashboard streamline network monitoring while connectivity hiccups need addressing
I use Cisco products and Meraki MS Switches. I am a user on the user side. Network security is handled by our firewalls and other solutions. I have not explored the area of network management AI in Meraki MS Switches. For other switches, when you buy one, you can just start configuring, connect it to the network, and it works. With Meraki MS Switches, you have to first whitelist the MAC address, let it have internet, then you can manage it. They're deployed on-premises. They're quite acceptable, so I recommend them to those who want to use Meraki MS Switches. The biggest benefit that I see in Meraki MS Switches is central management and the cloud dashboard. I rate Meraki MS Switches 8 out of 10.

Cons

"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."
"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 documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"There was an issue with the uplink when the port was removed and had to be reinstalled, which caused a temporary dropout."
"The product is not scalable. It's a physical device and therefore limited."
"This is quite an expensive solution."
"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."
"The solution is not scalable. If you need to scale, you need to change the equipment."
"The biggest area that they fall short on is comparing the performance."
"Clients are very confused by technical support. They seem to have trouble reaching Meraki to get the assistance they need."
"The product has no CLI."

"The only drawback is the cost — that's what kills them."
"It is very expensive so I want it to be cheaper."
