Meraki

This app has undergone such a tremendous makeover and keeps getting better with each new update. It’s obvious the developers are carefully considering which features are useful on mobile and which should remain available only through the Dashboard via a web browser so as to provide a solid user experience. On the MV side, would love to see the addition of some features commonly found in consumer camera apps out of the box like push notifications on activity and use of the mobile device’s geolocation services in policies for recording and/or alerting.

Can’t claim “dashboard in your pocket” if you can’t alter network or organization settings from it. Having to use a browser to manually log in and make important changes defeats the entire purpose of having an app, especially when you’re troubleshooting next to the rack or the middle of the shop floor. I’m sure it is great for what little it does, but at the moment it does only what I don’t need it for. If you have ever crouched near a rack with a laptop on your knees, pinch zoomed around the browser based dashboard from your phone while standing on a ladder, or typed with one hand trying to hold a laptop in the other because you didn’t want to drag an entire desk around the shop with you while your MX’s aren’t connecting to your MS’s - you’ll understand.

With the most recent app update no longer can I switch between different companies or locations within a company. Once you have a location pulled up, the only way to back out now is to force close the app. UPDATE: Another update fixed the problem mentioned above and the app is back to working great! 👍🏻

I work for a company who uses the mobile app to check cameras and other devices all the time. I’m in the IT department so I have been getting calls saying their app isn’t working. Since the new update no devices show in their dashboard. I have yet to update and I can access everything. I’m not sure if it’s a support issue or not. I will be contacting support but trying to get this resolved ASAP we have every camera in our company on this platform, all of our access points and our MDM. We need the mobile app fixed. Would love to change this to 5 stars once it’s fixed.

I love the Meraki app. Built for a mobile device, it makes my life much easier when troubleshooting issues on the go. I may not be able to perform all network changes through the all, but to be honest.. I rather no do any breaking changes from my phone 🫣

Unable to view any organizations under our msp dashboard then also after talking to tech support they informed me no vpn connectivity would be needed in order to have phones pull up mv feeds. We have a user saying unable to log in due to unauthorized IP.

This app is great to quickly check something without needing to use a PC to log into my security appliance or switch, etc. to check if a port is enabled. Someone calls and if not in front of a computer I can easily check, verify and even configure some things with this app.

Being a Meraki customer for enterprise level wireless, switching, cameras, and sensors makes this app a god send. Being able to manage firmware upgrades from an iPad app at home one a Saturday night makes my life a lot smoother. Only thing is the graphics need better optimized for mobile resolutions.

Aside from it lacking real features for management (see: UBNT, they rule!) IT DOESN’T RUN IN LANDSCAPE MODE. Good grief, Cisco, fix this. FIX THIS. Make this app useful. I use the UBNT app to manage SDN networks all day long. I have to use the browser for Meraki. Very annoying. Update: oh wait. No update. Still garbage. Update 2: App is finally updated...years late. It’s better. Not blown away.

The Meraki app just keeps getting better and better. With each release there are more features added to give administrators tools and capabilities to address needs that arise while on the go.

I love the idea that this app is a minimalist view of my network without too many configuration choices. I use it mainly for the iOT readings and condition monitoring. The UI could possibly use some streamlining in some cases, overall a great app.

Easiest and most feature-rich app for your WHOLE network. I haven’t gone to the dashboard on my computer since adding licenses last year. Even software updates are managed in the app. Pure gold!

I can do everything in the app that I can on the dashboard, and having it on my iPad and phone makes accessing settings quick and easy.

This app has matured well and become an important tool. It's a good part of the overall Meraki value. It packs a lot of stuff in one place. It's valued on site and for incidents that come up away from the job.

Coming from a major switch upgrade, having a dashboard with every network device is so nice. Configuration was so simple.

so easy to be able to see everything adding reservations port forward and the support is always responsive and available.

The features in the app just keep expanding and getting better!

Appreciate the changes and listening to us. Loads faster now too

I love using this app as an overview, while I’m onsite. There’s still a number of items to be improved upon, but it’s a solid 70%. That said, recently all of my organizations disappeared. I have my single organization (MSP root organization), but all client organizations have vanished. They’re in the portal (online), but not in the app on iPad nor phone.

There are a ton of great new features in the app. Still a ways to go, but love how much stuff has been added!

Reliable, consistent. Very few issues with so much control in the cloud. My goto especially for remote devices.

Great to see Meraki investment in the app again. Still missing features compared to desktop. It would be nice to see recorded video for the cameras for example. Hope to see continued improvements.

It takes forever to load, then provides limited information. You can’t even use the ping feature to test the connection to a device on your network. As often as we have to replace their networking devices I guess I should expect much from their app.

Current version completely breaks login after a few times. It just stalls while logging in infinitely. The only way to solve is delete the app and reinstall it. Basically makes it useless until this is resolved. Update: latest version still doesn’t fix this

Error after signing in: “Network Error There was a problem making that request. Try again and contact support if the problem continues.” Everything works fine from the website…

It’s much faster now loading into the app.

From setup to day to day use, this is a fantastic way to run a distributed network.

I like this app and how useful it is for me.

Had this app installed on my phone for a while, but never had any Meraki devices to add to it until about 2 hours ago. This app is useful for “read-only” administrators, but not ideal for configurations.

EVERYTIME i open the app it force closes. I used to be able to delete it and redownload and it would be fine- but now it’s not working!

It provides basic function but lacks all ability to manage the Wi-Fi network from the app. Mostly view only mode, lacks any ability to upgrade or make changes.

Meraki is clearly not focusing on enabling anyone in security, or networking, to be able to do anything from the app. Sadly these are some of the most urgent things to monitor and respond to - instead, classically, they’re only focused on features around availability. Come on guys, can do better.

The GUI is very seamlessly and functional giving the option to monitor different networks devices and sensors.

Love the work so far… I like the continued progress… feature request list too long the list here… would love another developer discussion

The app has come a long way, but it has a long way to go. I hope the app is getting as much development dollars as the web based dashboard.

I used nothing but the best and I recommend you do

Still getting use to the app but it great for managing my network on the go.

Simple and captures essential things to monitor and manage network remotely

When you’re in a pinch, you want Meraki

The alerts notifications be hit or miss

Great App… easy to use. My job just got easier…

It’s been way too long and now the app joins the modern times. If this stays logged in using Face ID I’ll be more than happy.

Waited way to long, but happy there’s a solid app now!

Thumbs up

An app made by some of the most good looking developers around

I wish system were better too slow many times it does not read the frame I need!!! No video!!!

The latest update on Feb 1st made the app unusable. If you select any options it says there was a problem and after that nothing works. You have to force close the app.

Great work with the new updates

I would love to be able to search devices by owner, notes, pretty much anything you can via the Meraki portal. We use the Portal for asset management and need the app to function similarly.

Bought alot of APs, setup sso and downloaded app only to find that it isnt supported. Then I find that this has been “on the roadmap” for years. I think we need less sales and more developers. I dont see how this is not top priority and knocked out in a few months.
