Alternative Recommendation

I'm working on a client bid and am really loving the flexibility and security features of the Meraki line, however, the client is requesting a presentation with cheaper alternatives. Does anyone have experience with both the RV340W and the MX68 that can speak to the downside of the RV340W in comparison?  OR Can someone suggest a different alternative?  It is difficult to know when sifting through specs alone.  Thx

I think that your best way is checking the capalibities and choose the right MX.

Those two solutions aren't even on the same page.  The RV340W lacks:

* Automatic firmware upgrades to resolve security issues

* Content filtering

* IPS

* AMP and other anti-malware functionality

* Any kind of client monitoring

* Any kind of traffic analytics

* Any kind of remote monitoring

 

Thank You! I read a lot more today based on your answer and you've provided the right amount of justification for the MX choice, and more.
