Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Cisco Meraki Go to run all of our remote offices. Cisco Meraki Go allows us to centralize the management of all of our networking products under a single pane of glass. Before Cisco Meraki Go we had several networks that had been set up by different vendors. Each vendor had their own way of managing their network. Cisco Meraki Go allowed us to centralize our management.

Pros

  • Centralized management for several sites
  • Alerting for components with issues
  • Easy to setup

Cons

  • VPN setup is a bit of a pain
  • Logging doesn't work very well
  • Sometimes it is difficult to see where the issues are occurring on the network.

Return on Investment

  • We were able to reduce the amount of effort that went into maintaining our network infrastructure.
  • Cisco Meraki Go's centralized network management tool allowed us to easily manage network licenses.
  • Licensing is expensive in comparison to other networking tools.
