Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"The solution is finely stable."
"It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers."
"The detections are fine when they work."
"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."
"Defining thresholds and other alerting criteria is fairly simple and would not require a lot of training. This is very useful if you are managing a large environment."
"The traffic monitoring and the traffic analysis are great."
"The integration with the firewall monitoring, the security monitoring, is great."
"Great visibility on the dashboard."
"The most valuable feature is its simplicity in navigating through the dashboard. It's well set out, and the layout is nice and user friendly. A lot of clients enjoy seeing layer 7 visibility. They get a good indication and insight into what is happening in their network and what applications are being used the most. They can then customize and give preference to business-critical applications."
"Easy to configure with great troubleshooting feature."
"The most valuable feature is their support, they get better every day."
"We have found the client dashboard to be very simple to use, especially in our Meraki environment."
"It can analyze the traffic that it is picking up from what may be a rogue access point, and it is able to identify those and send relevant notifications."
"The most valuable feature is knowing the wireless and switch are healthy."
"We greatly utilize the network because we can plug it into the DNS, VPN, or equipment. It's very good. Meraki Dashboard enhances wireless network management. We appreciate its flexibility, as it allows for easy suite configuration. We can handle everything on there when there's a policy or any other requirement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The dashboard could include more features."
"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."
"ManageEngine OpManager can improve by having better updates for critical issues."
"We have been facing an issue since last year when a lot of our users started to work from home through their mobiles or computers. We are having trouble reaching these devices. We are now planning to publish our instance to the cloud so that we can reach these devices. Its performance should be improved in terms of the discovery of the devices. I would like to feel confident with the discovery that this solution does. For example, on my dashboard, I would like to be able to view a list of all devices seen on a specific server. At present, it is difficult to find such information. This would be an excellent feature to have."
"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."
"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."
"The two views into the system are very good but could be extended to further customization to fit the need of end users in a variety of roles."
"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."
"It would be helpful to have the ability to create a floor plan based on an existing PDF or JPEG, which is automatically converted into a usable network map."
"One area that could use improvement in the Meraki Dashboard is user-friendliness when navigating to port configurations."
"The downside to the simplicity is that you can't get as granular as you could with the Cisco APs."
"When users are trying to roam from one location to another location, geographical tracking would be helpful."
"What needs improvement in Meraki Dashboard is its configuration. It'll also be better if the tool has more functionality, and that is what I'd like to see in its next release."
"This solution can be quite complicated to configure and manage, unless you have a technical person with specific knowledge working on it."
"I would like to receive decent notification alerts regarding the license's expiry. Or any help on correcting or optimizing licenses, because in certain circumstances you can add a license but it's the wrong licensing. However, the Dashboard adds the license in some way, and you do not utilize it. You can simply extend the license's expiration date."
"Meraki Dashboard could improve integration with non-Cisco platforms."
