Interesting you mentioned the Fortigate. We just moved most our equipment to them. Couldn't be happier. Full IPv6 support. And the VPN works great. Certainly a larger learning curve but if you already know firewalls this is the way to go.   Also, the security is muuuuuch better on the Fortigate. We ran a a test and put a fortigate between our MX our our switches with port mirroring on to see what the MX was missing. In 7 days the MX missed over 34,000 IPS attemps. Pretty sad.   I love my Meraki's don't get me wrong... but..... they are way way behind now. Its sad to watch such a great brand die. ... View more

I whole heartedly agree. The money always talks. I just wish I had enough units out there where I could push that. At this rate I am sure a lot of companies will start switching out. I am starting to see on a lot of forums including spice works to stay clear of Meraki. Sad. ... View more

Thanks for your response @JPAWELCHAK. I have had the opportunity to work for very large companies. I can guarantee you that was stated by Meraki was a simple PR Stunt / Crowd Control to buy them time. They know they made a mistake. When they say road map what they mean is they planned on implementing IPv6 eventually but haven't looked at it yet.   The thing I hate most is lip service and no action. I can understand if the company said... we made a mistake, we apologize, we didn't even plan on it. Here is where it is at on the road map, we plan on having X, Y, Z ready for testing by X date. And if they don't hit that date.. thats fine.. but tell us... say something as simple as we ran into a few snags but we are close or not close. I don't care. Transparency brings trust into a company. With trust comes sales.   We have this year to watch what happens. If nothing substantial happens we really don't have a choice but to drop Meraki and go with another provider (Eyeballing Palo Alto). We can't play this game with a company we don't trust with our production environment.    Lastly I forgot to mention the tech support has gone way down hill. In the good ole days before Cisco took over we had an actual engineer look at our issues and got them resolved fairly quickly. Now, we take a million packet captures that they don't know how to interpret and don't seem to understand the issue. I also just love the fact that they can see a lot more than I can on my own equipment. (insert sarcasm here).    Please Meraki.... don't let me down. I want this to work so bad. ... View more

Oh but don't worry.... they are focused on putting things like WAN health which should be a part of the native license into Meraki Insight. What the heck is going on Meraki!    Honestly, I cannot fight for you guys anymore. We have really sucky reporting features. Sure I can see an overview but I can't choose between date and times. No IPv6 capabilities. All of Meraki Insight which shouldn't be a separate nickel and dime package, Poor log keeping (Why can't we save these logs, reports etc on the internal drives with the ones that have them?). No native Meraki VPN Client, No ikev2, the password on the VPN is unencrypted. My gosh. Even the firmware updates are dismal. In order to use anything useful they force you on the Betas.   It just frustrates me after spending 30k + that this is what we get. Don't get me wrong.. the idea behind it is awesome. I see the potential. But its so hard to sit back and watch it take the wrong directions all the freaking time.   I am starting to think Meraki needs some serious restructuring done. This is not the way to run a company that touts itself as enterprise ready. ... View more

We are in somewhat of the same boat. We have spent well over 50k on devices and licensing. Our ISP has no more IPv4 to hand out. Some of our servers require it such as Micrsoft's DirectAccess.    I am deeply saddened that Meraki is not more transparent on this issue. Even something as much as we are almost done, expect it sometime next year would suffice.   At this time if we don't see something by the end of the year we will have to switch to something like SonicWall.   Very sad Meraki. As others have stated this is a feature that has been out on even the cheapest routers and firewalls for a long time. Yet Meraki can't seem to get this deployed? I am almost positive they probably have 1 or 2 guys working on this while the rest are working on the billions of beta firmware they seem to have. ... View more
