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 great for small to medium businesses. It is easy to use with little out-of-the-box configuration. There is an easier learning curve on the Cisco Meraki vMX than on the SonicWall devices. We went with the Cisco Meraki vMX because we had the physical …
Chose Cisco Meraki vMX
Meraki vMX is the most simple and intuitive platform to implement. It does though miss some security features that you get in Checkpoint CloudGuard og Palo Alto Next Generation firewalls.

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 …

Alternatives Considered
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.
