Tell us a bit about your experience with Meraki
We've been using Meraki products for around 5 years. We started with the MDM product and occasionally used some Z1's. When our AP platform came up for renewal, we evaluated a bunch of solutions an ultimately settled on Meraki APs (>100). At that point, we'd become confident in the Meraki product and refreshed our switches (>50) and then ultimately our Firewalls (>20). Now we are rolling cameras out to some of our sites. We've got about 100 of them in production.
Any particular Meraki product / feature that you’re particularly fond of or couldn’t live without?
There isn't a particular Meraki product that we couldn't live without. We just thrive on the ease of management and visibility. Candidly, we don't have time to babysit our network equipment. We just need it to work.
How does the community help you in your day-to-day work?
The community helps me stay on top of new features and also helps me troubleshoot existing quirks. I think being a member of the community is an essential part of being a Meraki user.
Thanks, Adam!
