Meraki Insight EOL

[rhbirkelund]

I just noticed this in the EoL page, and it sort of seems to have gone under the radar. It's sort of buried further down in the latest documentation digest.

Am I correct understood that there is no replacement for Meraki Insight, other than ThousandEyes?

[KarstenI]

Oh, I also missed that. Very good and important question ...

Insight is not EOL. Only the licences. To use Insight you will now require Secure SD-WAN Plus

[rhbirkelund]

So Insights, as a standalone addon to Meraki is going EOL, but will still be available via SDW+ licenses?

[RaphaelL]

From what I have heard , this is pretty much what is going on with Insight !

[rhbirkelund]

Fair enough, then! This might should've been clarified a bit more in the docs. 😉

[PhilipDAth]

Insights can be bought per network.

SDW+ requires you to buy it for every network - correct?

[RaphaelL]

Hard to tell... Documentation : https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Licensing/Meraki_MX_Security_and_SD-WAN_Lice... needs a complete review  eg : ( Will Meraki Insight be available as a separate license? Yes. Meraki Insight (included in Secure SD-WAN Plus license by default) will still be available as a separate license.

[KarstenI]

Not anymore. SDW+ can now be bought per network, even in Co-Term.

[rhbirkelund]

Correct. This came in yesterday evening.

Hello,

Cisco Meraki is announcing an update to our network assurance licensing platform. All Meraki Insight product functionality will remain active and now be included under the upgraded SD-WAN Plus and Per-device SD-WAN Plus licenses.

Before July 26, 2024

The Meraki Insight license will still be available for purchase prior to July 26, 2024. New customers intending to utilize Meraki Insight (MI) functionality are recommended to instead purchase the SD-WAN Plus or Per-device SD-WAN Plus licenses, available via the co-term model. For existing customers, MI product functionality will not change for the duration of their license. If an existing customer’s license expires before July 26, 2024, the recommendation is that they should purchase SD-WAN Plus or per-device SD-WAN Plus licenses.

After July 26, 2024

The Meraki Insight license will no longer be available for purchase after July 26, 2024. New customers and existing customers have the option to purchase SD-WAN Plus or Per-device SD-WAN Plus licenses via the co-term model to utilize MI product functionality. For existing customers, MI product functionality will continue to function until the expiration of their current license. After license expiration, the MI product functionality will only be available on the SD-WAN Plus or Per-device SD-WAN Plus licenses.

Licenses being replaced		Replacement Model
LIC-MI-XS, LIC-MI-S, LIC-MI-M, LIC-MI-L, and LIC-MI-XL for 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years.		SD-WAN Plus, Per-device SD-WAN Plus

We will be accepting final orders for the outgoing Meraki Insight standalone licenses until July 26, 2024. End-of-Support date for Meraki Insight Standalone licenses will be July 26, 2029.

Best,

The Cisco Meraki Team
