The most reliable solution for managing high-capacity wireless networks
There are solutions that allow companies to reduce installation costs, maintenance of an entire IT infrastructure for the provision of services such as wireless access points to schools, universities, concert halls and parks; with Cisco Meraki all these operating costs are reduced to the maximum expression and you have the guarantee that the equipment used are of the highest quality withstanding extreme environmental and physical conditions and still providing very stable connections, with this we can say that Cisco Meraki is a step ahead in terms of wireless connection.
PROSOur company focused its eyes on Cisco Meraki for several important reasons such as: minimum infrastructure costs since the implementation does not require the physical installation of advanced equipment or data centers since all the infrastructure is in the cloud, this also eliminates maintenance costs that operationally demanded a considerable investment, secure and highly reliable wireless networks capable of supporting connections under the 802.11 ac standard in the order of Gbps, management from a single central platform and accessible from anywhere in the world.
CONSThe total dependence of the MR devices to the internet connection limits a little the management of our operative personnel that performs the repairs in all the zones, it is clear that for the cases where the internet connection fails, the local access to the access point is operative but when it is required to implement some access policy or special configurations in some points, the access through the central console by an administrator is obligatorily required.

Meraki a reliable, stable and centrally managed network
Benefits of using a Meraki network are many, centralization of all devices, switches, firewall and in our case wifi access points, these have a stable radio signal emission power and ensuring the connection in the different wifi standart allowing to connect any kind of mobile devices from low to high range; in addition to having centralized management from the cloud that allows us to make adjustments to the settings from anywhere in the world with internet connection being reflected instantly on the monitored equipment, in conclusion a reliable network although a little expensive to implement but which is worth the investment.
PROSMeraki has left a positive mark in our company due to its benefits and the experience that supports it, we have a large number of access points MR distributed in different areas of the city in parks, educational institutions, hospitals and each of them is monitored easily and remotely from the web; thanks to this we can analyze the capacity of connections, radio frequency channel in use, current wifi standard 802. 11 b/g/n/ac, also thanks to the power and stability in the signal emission of each MR we guarantee to the users a clean connection without interruptions that for some of the cases a stable connection is vital.
CONSWith the continuous expansion of our network also demands the inclusion of more MR devices, these are notoriously more expensive although comparing the cost/benefit ratio is worth the investment, however, one of the limitations for this type of network is its close dependence on the internet connection to perform advanced technical configurations on the devices, everything related to ACS configuration, MAC filtering (black or white list) as it does not allow such configurations locally limiting it to communication with the central administration.

Dated, Unreliable MDM
We started using Meraki a long time ago when there was a free option for the MDM, which was a great boon to the organization. We paid for support for a while when we needed it, which was reasonable at the time. Since then, the free program ended, and now the pricing is higher than most of the competitors. We could get over having to issue app push commands over and over when it was free, but having to pay a premium for one of the less reliable MDMs we've tested just wasn't in the cards, so we ended up switching. It's certainly not a horrible option, especially if you have an all-Meraki network and can manage everything in one place, but if you're just in it for the MDM like we were, there are better options out there, especially ones with smoother automation and ease of use.
PROSInitially free, it implemented everything we needed for mobile device management for Apple devices.
CONSWith the free programs ended, Meraki became one of the most expensive options, which made its other flaws less tolerable. Commands to devices often fail with cryptic messages that require lots of manual retries.

Cisco Cloud-Managed Network Devices Review
I have three years of experience working with Cisco Meraki devices (MR, MX, and MS). The initial setup configuration is straightforward. Group Policy can effectively manage users, allowing for both manually applied SSID policies and automatic applied through a Radius server. This is one of the notable features of Cisco Meraki Firewalls.
PROSThe easiest way manage to Network Device from the cloud and control the user with Group policies. One of my favorite feature is Group policies that is controlled the specific user with specific firewall rule, traffic shaping and security policies (like URL filtering, YouTube restriction level).
CONSIf you have multiple public IP addresses, it is not possible to separate the outbound PAT configuration for each user network.
