Thinking NOT to renew Meraki Go Security License - comments?

I have 2 problems with the Meraki go security license which has me thinking not to renew....

 

1.  I had an open DNS account before I got Meraki go and the opendns did everything the Meraki go security license did (or suppose to do) and integrated into the meraki go dash board and app.   The openDNS acct was free..had it for over 20 years.   Soon as I got the Meraki go security license...my opendns acct was zapped and the only way to get opendns is to use a different email and pay for it.   makes you think if you pay for the meraki go security license...why dont you get a free opendns acct and why are they zapping your existing opendns if you have one.   I would not have bought the meraki go security license if I had known this.

 

2.   although open dns provides protection for IP6, my testing shows that the meraki go security license equipped 50 or 20 device cant protect ip6 devices.   support said that their meraki go devices dont support IP6, but yet their setup has a enable ip6 feature.

 

I invested a lot of money recently in meraki go and would not have bought any of it if I would have known the current today status of the meraki go platform.

Considering the whole platform is end of life, if my renewal was coming up I would be investigating alternatives and determining if I could afford to switch to something else, or maybe renew for a shorter term while I came up with a plan

Agree with @Mloraditch, as the product has been announced EoS you’d be investing in a deprecated solution.
