Cisco Prime vs Dashboard Heatmaps

[Joe_Swain]

Hi all,

I have not tested any Meraki maps or floorplans yet, but have fairly extensive experience in Cisco Prime.

I am wondering if anyone else has done both, and could offer me reasons for having Prime with a Meraki deployment or whether the MDB can do most/all that Prime can do.

I think the reporting may be slightly limited in MDB compared to Prime, and also not expecting the level of alerting that Prime offers from MDB.

Other than that I am just guessing.

Many thanks

Joe

I have got Meraki Dashboard and Cisco Prime Infrastructure.

Meraki Dashboard is easier to use. But it supports only Meraki devices.
