"I believe there's room for improvement in the validation process, especially for customers facing compliance issues when managing access points from the cloud.

Regarding additional features, customers express interest in enhancing the controller, specifically improving the capability to manage a higher number of access points from the same controller. This feature is crucial for better scalability. Another feature that customers would appreciate is the ability to increase the number of access points. However, the current process for obtaining this permission can be time-consuming, and customers would like to see improvements in this regard."

"While it is mostly scalable, there are some limitations."

"We have used technical support for some issues but not many times."
"The licensing model is a terrible idea."
"It is not a very stable solution."
"The technical support for Meraki needs improvements made to the waiting times."
"Initially, I liked some of the filtering features, but that's one of the components that we ran into problems with."
"It is expensive. Juniper seems to have a lot more to offer for future expansion. Juniper has some features that are not there in this solution."
