Cisco Meraki Go vs. Datto WIFI

One of the better times Meraki Go has proven useful was when the Fresno Grizzlies have baseball games, and many people come to our brewery to watch it on our televisions or stream it on their phones. The quick internet service allows us to attract more patrons and also improves their day. Half of the time, people are coming into our bar just to use the internet and end up buying a few drinks! The business had shot up thanks to our switch from when the pandemic started in 2020.

Datto WIFI does well at: It's really just adding in the Mac address and ensuring you have all the settings you want set in the portal. Once it checks home your access point has been deployed. This makes it very easy to manages hundreds if not thousands of access points. Datto Wifi is less appropiate in LAN enviroments in where you don't need WIreless.

It's good, it can be better, but it's good. We had problems with Outlook 365 disconnecting and their support wasn't able to help us. We spent a few hours on the phone and finally, one of our NOC guys decided to change the MTU. I'm sure their support is good, I just think that this time we didn't find the right person.

I would use Cisco Meraki Go for small business needs. I would rather use the full Cisco Meraki system for anything more than five people. Cisco Meraki Go is cheaper but regular Meraki is far more robust.

We have helped to control the download speed of your users. We can record and track all URL pages visited, it also allows us to send files from computer to phone and back as well. Security is a priority, with the security encryption of all password traffic, we will be able to navigate at a higher speed.

The ease of deployment can be moved from one site to another easily. There is no need for any source or managing controller and hence it can be easily moved with the same configuration. This type of solution is best for teams who work together and are on the move from one location to another and who rely on high performance and good security for their wifi network.
