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.

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 excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"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."
"Provides good statistics and it doesn't require teaching command lines."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is the ease of stacking, the configuration on the MS Switches is very good, as well as its ability to assign the LANs."
"The price isn't high, and they offer discounts, and the delivery time is much better than other traditional products."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud management architecture from Meraki."
"The main features of Meraki MS Switches are integration, high quality, and hardware guarantee."
"The dashboard and the interface, in general, are good features."
"Easily installable, with good scalability, stability and technical support."
"The dashboard and the interface, in general, are good features, and everything from switches to access points can be used from a single dashboard."
 

Cons

"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"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 documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"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."
"The biggest area that they fall short on is comparing the performance."
"The pain point for our customers is the pricing and it should be reduced to make it more competitive."
"It can have better security. It needs more security enhancements, and in particular, a zero-trust element."
"Sometimes it's a little slow, but I think that's due to the pandemic."
"The improvement needed for Meraki MS Switches is the ability to connect in the worst case when I encounter internet issues."
"I'm an old CLI guy from Cisco so I've had to give up some of the granularity that I'm used to having."
"If there are many users and a heavy data load, heavy data traffic, I am not suggesting Meraki. I am focusing on Meraki Catalyst for live usage. It is not scalable enough, and I do not recommend it due to its switching capability."
"The solution isn't scalable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"We have an annual subscription for licensing and it is expensive."
"Meraki is not an expensive switch, like Cisco."
"This is not a cheap solution."
"It is very expensive so I want it to be cheaper."
"If you buy a license for one switch, it will include the licensing for the device RMA, device failure warranty, technical support, and everything else. Also covered is support for software updates for future releases. It's a single license for everything and there's nothing that customers need to pay in addition to the license."
"It's $150 per year for licensing on each 250 switch. The 425 switches are about $500 a year for the enhanced enterprise licenses."
"This product is quite expensive."
"The pricing is overvalued in relation to the product's performance."
