My biggest issue with Meraki is that their tech staff can run tcpdump on the
wired or wireless interface of your Meraki box without having to leave their
desk. I have no reason to believe that they are malicious, or in the pay of
the NSA, but I am too paranoid to allow their equipment anywhere
I believe they fixed this -- when I've spoken to tech support recently, I had
to give them a tech support key so that they could access the devices I had
questions about.

For several of our clients, we use Sophos UTMs coupled with their RED
units. Once registered with the UTM, the RED unit auto creates an SSL

Guys, thanks for all the responses. Thanks to everyone's feedback, we have a
number of options that were not on the original list and that is what I was
hoping for. Now it's a matter of comparing

etc...
Thanks again.

on how road warriors can can connect with a Mikrotik to automatically

biased in favor of vendor lock in and endlessly recurring payments to the
equipment vendor rather than the ISP or enterprise end user.
You should not have to pay a yearly subscription fee to keep your in-house

I treat Meraki like SmartNET. The subscription comes with lifetime support
(TAC + Warranty), you do have support on your production network gear don't

There is a downside to subscription pricing for the vendor: they don't get the
