Cisco Meraki Go is good but regular Meraki is better

Rating: 10 out of 10

September 20, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Cisco Meraki Go to run all of our remote offices. Cisco Meraki Go allows us to centralize the management of all of our networking products under a single pane of glass. Before Cisco Meraki Go we had several networks that had been set up by different vendors. Each vendor had their own way of managing their network. Cisco Meraki Go allowed us to centralize our management.

Pros

Centralized management for several sites
Alerting for components with issues
Easy to setup

Cons

VPN setup is a bit of a pain
Logging doesn't work very well
Sometimes it is difficult to see where the issues are occurring on the network.

Likelihood to Recommend

Cisco Meraki Go is well suited for small or large organizations that want to centralize their network management. We have half a dozen offices spread over two states. I can manage all of my networks through a single pane of glass. The only time Cisco Meraki Go isn't super appropriate is when larger organizations may want to use a more granular security approach or set up VPNs with non-Meraki hardware.

Cisco Meraki Go Review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's not my business. Don't use it. It's at home.

Pros

It's lightweight, it's a wireless access point. You've got corporate features for the home user. Pretty easy to set up and that's pretty much it really.

Cons

Security type. I'd like to see two FA, things like that when you're logging in a bit more integrations with other tools and things.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We actually have been using it at home replacing our previous Meraki set up. We also use it as recommended set up for SMBs we also support as well since it is a great use case in single site setup with basic VPN etc needs. The fact is has a lot of the same features as Meraki Enterprise, as well as being app and website accessible too helps a lot.

Pros

Ease of configuration
Deployment
Management
Remote access

Cons

App performance lag
Swag
Lower cost on Wifi6, there's a massive jump in price for that hardware

Likelihood to Recommend

Single site where wifi and wired connections are needed with on site and remote support needed. Possibly also VPN access. Or as we use it, at home for better management of network, guest access for family, for visitors and also content filtering to keep everyone safe too. They keep adding features so there may be more just added or upcoming I might have missed. It's probably not best for larger multi site businesses but small single or dual site with VPN it works awesomely.

Meraki Go - One of the better, more affordable internet solutions for your small-medium business.

Rating: 9 out of 10

September 22, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Meraki Go is a great internet solution for our staff and our customers. The brewery is always filled with people coming to watch the Sunday Night Football Games, and our great, secure internet connection is unrivaled by the other bars in the Downtown Fresno area. Everybody in our brewery appreciates the quick internet speed we get, to check on different sporting events, and also for our patrons to use their mobile devices safely without having to worry about hackers taking some of their information. The app is also really easy to use; with just a few clicks, we set up two different networks, one for our staff members on a secure network and another for the general public to use. I have my own small business that I want to set up based around clothes, and I can be sure that Meraki Go would be a nice, lightweight option for my internet service.

Pros

Great internet service.
Great support team, they got back to me within an hour of my purchase.
Secure network provider, haven't had an issue with stolen passwords since switching from Ubiquiti.

Cons

One thing I would add is that sometimes the app has downtime or works particularly slowly on the weekends. Why that is, I'm not sure, maybe because I have an older iPhone.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are the system integrators, and we suggest this product for the customers who don’t want extra infrastructure, like wireless LAN controllers, which are extra hardware for the access points. But with Cisco Meraki Go, it will be plug-and-play. Easy to control the devices from any part of the world with the help of a mobile app or a web browser.

Pros

Easy to manage
Access from anywhere
Best in performance
Heat maps

Cons

Licensing
Support

Likelihood to Recommend

The customer was looking for a wireless solution that could provide user analytics with detailed information. If classic Cisco then it needs multiple servers and devices to do the implementation. In Cisco Meraki Go, you don’t have to go with multiple devices; just connect the AP to the dashboard, and you will get a detailed report of the users, and they are accessing.

March 28, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use the Cisco Meraki Go Indoor WiFi Access Point model in our building with the mission of delivering wireless internet to our users and guests. One of the great advantages of this model is the ability to be managed in the cloud and automatically provision access points installed anywhere. The entire configuration is adjusted by artificial intelligence and rules created by us at IT. We have been implementing this WiFi solution for over two years.

Pros

Cheap and fast hotspot supporting multiple simultaneous clients.
Guest control through a Captive portal.
They work with the 802.11ac Wave 2 protocol.
They direct the WiFi signal directly to the client that is accessing the internet and increase the quality of the signal.
Managed in the cloud and accessed via the web

Cons

It does not support WiFi 6 so far.
Not recommended for auditoriums.

Likelihood to Recommend

Our Cisco Meraki Go Access Points are great low-price, high-quality Cisco Meraki access points with reliable warranty and support. The product is durable, compact, and beautiful, and can be installed on the ceiling or wall to cover small and medium coverage areas. We highly recommend it for the ease of management in the cloud and with a clean, intuitive, and friendly interface from Cisco. Once configured, it is replicated to all access points that will be installed when connected to the internet.

Meraki Go, a good companion for your business

March 27, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We decided to use Meraki Go to address WiFi connectivity problems, security: protecting WiFi clients, and easy setup.

Pros

Protect wifi clients.
Firmware updates.
Very stable WiFi connection.

Cons

The size of the device.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's a good solution if you're looking for a secure, reliable, and easy-to-setup WiFi for your business. The AP is suitable for indoor and outdoor, and you can combine multiple AP to get further coverage of the WiFI signal. If there are too many walls, the WiFi signal will be reduced, but it also happens with other vendors.

The SSO with Azure is only one-way.

Cisco Meraki Go is an easy software to use since it has cloud centralized management from the dashboard. But some of the features are not up to mark for the given price.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The product is best suited for small businesses. Meraki Go is the economical version of other wifi products available from the wifi solutions. They are easy to deploy and very user-friendly to set up too. They provide the state of the art features at a budget scale. This is the best solution for small businesses to manage and control their wifi without having multiple hardware to do so.

Pros

Great App Interface.
Easy to Install.
Great Performance.
Economical.

Cons

Bundle offers.
More models with different specs.
Partner offers.

Likelihood to Recommend

Best suited for small-scale businesses or startups who rely on high speed and better productivity. The price point is really affordable for the set of features it offers compared to any other product in the market. Great for remote offices or temporary offices since it can be set up easily and be moved from one location to another without any hassle. Not suitable for any large-scale enterprises or where security policies are very strict. The user has limited control over the device compared to other enterprise products.
