Chose Cisco Meraki vMX
In terms of the Cisco suite, we also have Cisco WebEx calling IP deck solution right out across our centers. That has proven to be phenomenal in terms of performance and stability. With that alone, we've cut back our incident rate of telephony related issues by half …

Chose Cisco Meraki vMX
The VMware SD wan does give some better WAN metrics, but the interface is super clunky and doesn’t support a full stack. If Meraki could give some more QoE link metrics, it would be perfect.

Chose Cisco Meraki vMX

Cisco Meraki vMX is fantastic. The only downside is cost. Licensing really is a crutch here.

Chose Cisco Meraki vMX
I've used the FortiGate VM appliance many times and this was much better to use, it was a full feature set and had no setbacks ever. But people use Meraki for different reasons likely so it's not 100% apples to apples. As an SR engineer, I demand deep feature sets, etc, while …

We are a heavily invested Meraki environment, from our corporate locations to APs. Using a vMX as apposed another solution is a no brainer. It integrates well, has the same benefits as the rest of the Meraki stack, and you can leverage your favorite cloud platform

In terms of the Cisco suite, we also have Cisco Webex Calling IP deck solution right out across our centers. That has proven to be phenomenal in terms of performance and stability. With that alone, we've cut back our incident rate of telephony related issues by half essentially, which used to be our top rated issue previously. So the WebEx IP deck solution would be another product I would recommend.
