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

"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"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."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"The most valuable features are the cloud management, the monitoring, and the visibility available on the report's facts on the cloud controller."
"The most valuable feature about Meraki is the console. The second most valuable feature, to me, is the technical support and the infrastructure behind the console."
"It is easy to configure and provides complete visibility of the graphic end point."
"We are satisfied with the solution when it comes to that concerning a small environment."
"The solution is scalable."
"The dashboard and the interface, in general, are good features, and everything from switches to access points can be used from a single dashboard."
"The scalability of the solution is excellent."
"It is easy to deploy, maintain, and update. It has been trouble-free so far. I am still a Cisco command-line bigot, but the web interface makes it a lot easier for our help desk to interact with a client. When the clients call in and say that they aren't able to connect, it takes the help desk 10 minutes or less to look at everything in the enterprise or location. They can look at the firewall, switches, or access points in the dashboard. That's why I like the dashboard."
 

Cons

"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"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."
"This solution is too simple for some cases, and there should be more configuration options."
"There are compatibility issues with certain Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices, which we would like to see resolved."
"They need to work on prioritizing different types of data on the network, whether it's voice, data, video, et cetera. Video needs to be prioritized in a much better way, for example."
"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."
"The pain point for our customers is the pricing and it should be reduced to make it more competitive."
"The solution could be simplified a bit."
"The solution is not scalable. If you need to scale, you need to change the equipment."
"I haven't seen any specific return on investment from implementing Meraki MS Switches, as I can't provide any numbers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"The licensing is purchased on a one, three, five, and seven year basis."
"It would be better if they had a one-time purchase option instead of a subscription model."
"My company pays for Meraki MS Switches yearly. Pricing-wise, the product is relatively inexpensive."
"The product's licensing cost is about 30% to 40% of the hardware cost."
"The DNA subscription is a three-year minimum term."
"The price of Meraki MS Switches is less expensive than other similar solutions."
"I rate the price of Meraki MS Switches a two out of ten."
"The pricing is very expensive."
