Meraki SD-WAN Reviews

We are a company that provides IT solutions to other companies and this is one of the products that we implement for others.

This is a high availability solution that is easy to configure and has a nice GUI.

When there is an issue, I find it difficult to figure out what is going wrong because the logs do not provide as much information as solutions from HP. With HP you have the CLI, but with Meraki, there is no CLI and I find it a little bit annoying because you always have to work with the interface. In this regard, the interface could be improved.

Being able to log in remotely via SSL and access a CLI would be helpful because I prefer the CLI over a graphical interface.

I have not been in contact with technical support.

I have used many solutions from different vendors because these are products that we provide to other companies.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. When you configure your devices, you have to assign your licenses. You have to say where your devices are located and assign licenses per product. For example, you have to specify switches, access points, firewalls, etc. Once your devices are online you can configure them in the dashboard, and you're off.

This is a fine product but there is always room for improvement. It is easy to manage and the user interface tells you when something is wrong, but there is always something that they can develop or integrate. 

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

This is a software-defined networking solution in a wide area network.

This solution is good for the automatic creation of services.

This product has a simple configuration that can be accessed through a web interface or the API.

I think that it is the right time to research features such as IPsec IKEv2 and SSL decryption.

I would like a faster installation time in the next release.

It should be easier to install BGP and it should have a better backup. 

I have been using Meraki SD-WAN for about two years.

We use the latest version in production environments. However, in the laboratories, we use the beta version to learn about the new features that we want to use in the future.

I focus on the technical aspects, configuration aspects, and monitoring aspects between the products to assist our customers.

This is a stable product.

Meraki SD-WAN is a scalable solution. We have implemented between 120 and 150 PCs.

We are looking forward to using some of the features that we are currently testing in the beta. Some of these include data suppression options and an IPsec solution with IKEv2.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

The dashboard is the solution's most valuable feature.

The solution lacks a certain amount of functionality and features.

The VRRP design needs improvement.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

Technical support is really good.

We didn't previously use a different solution.

The initial setup is straightforward. Deployment times depend on the customer and the environment. If could be anywhere from two days to six months.

We looked into Azure, but Azure didn't make AZ1s.

We use the cloud deployment model. Meraki is a cloud solution.

I'd recommend the solution. I'd rate it eight out of ten.

Because it's a cloud-based network infrastructure, everything is done in the cloud, so I don't need to be on-site physically to be able to troubleshoot or resolve an issue. I can be anywhere and resolve an issue. I can see what's happening to the device in real-time, like what people are connected to the device and I can immediately do everything off-site.

The solution could be improved if it added more security features, especially monitoring endpoints with rogue network applications.

I have been using Meraki for around three years. 

We don't have issues with stability. 

It is easy to scale. We meet their requirements each year to add an additional suite. It's license based, so we have to pay for licenses annually to be able to remain online.

I have contacted support several times. It's quite good. 

The initial setup was straightforward. In terms of how long it takes, it shouldn't take more than two days or three days.

The price is reasonable.

I would rate Meraki SD-WAN an eight out of ten. 

It has everything I need. 

In the next release, they should have better control over file applications that could break into the network.

We did only a short evaluation focused in training to show the main functions of the dashboard and VPN implementation.

Not for now, we are still in the test stage and implementing a laboratory with a basic topology: firewall, switch, and AP.

Zero touch configuration onsite based on the manager system's pre-configuration and the VPN automation set.

Perimetral security for new requirements on financial networks and DRP systems, like SAP. 

It should send email alerts.
