The security level of our organization has changed by using Meraki MX Firewalls. We didn't have the UTM before, but now we have sandboxing, tray scanning, attack preventions and monitorization. Our security level has improved.
Cisco Meraki MX appliances are next-generation firewalls with all the advanced security services needed for today’s IT security. The appliances are ideal for organizations considering a unified threat management (UTM) solution for branch offices, data centers, distributed sites, or campuses. Since Meraki MX is 100% cloud-managed, installation and remote management are simple and zero-touch.
Meraki MX’s hardware and virtual appliances are configurable in Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services...
I like the automatic firmware updates. We use the Active Directory to authenticate VPN users.
We work also with domain control (DC) from Microsoft or Amazon. We use a whole virtual appliance with Meraki.
The initial setup for me was straightforward.
Deployment takes no more than one working day.
The features we have found most valuable are the firewall and the monitoring tools.
When you try to create an IP or when you have an alert about when a website is banned, these features are helpful.
A strong, reliable solution for small companies with little or no dedicated IT department.
I use Meraki in my POCs and with my customers as well.
The internet traffic shaping has been very valuable.

Point-to-point VPNs can dynamically follow IP changes with no need for static IPs.
