The presentation is based on their internal network & dashboard.

Damn... their SD-Wan is awfully impressive. Site-Site VPN is only a few clicks with auto password rotation.. Plug a SN into the dashboard and configure it before arrival, plug it in and it loads and is running.

... but it doesn't support BGP ... yet?

Meraki lack of EIGRP and BGP support is one of the main reasons I haven't replaced all of my access layer switches with them.

We've eliminated the need for third party VPN (safenet) connection to the office with Meraki.  I have a Z1 at home and just disable the ports when I am not using it.  It's quite beautiful.

When we normally buy a company I would drop a VPN router on their network and start giving wireless access for all of our staff that would visit. Well the last one had a totally flat network and no available external IP addresses to keep things clean. SO I got a Meraki AP and setup the VPN connector VM and I was off and running. All of our staff going was able to be on net and still access all local resources. They are some fantastic products.

We were ready to go the Meraki route until we found out they don't have mdm support for Linux and had no plan to.

The firewall/utm products look VERY, VERY nice.

I just saw a presentation on their cameras... not quite the same. Don't get me wrong - they have some really whiz-bang features like flagging an area of an image and being able to pull motion keyed segments from already-recorded video. For me, they ran smack into a wall with local (in-cam) only storage that maxes out at just shy of three weeks of 24/7 video. (forgot to ask at what rez). I need no less than 90 days of video, and really prefer it on a centralized storage device.

Meraki turns out some fiendishly good products.  No question about it.

I've never worked with them on a large-scale deployment unfortunately.
