The Meraki gear was never knocked because it lacked performance. It's the value/price that sucks.
Oh no, performance is lackluster, too.

Even tho the stats are better than EdgeSwitches?

Remember how @scottalanmiller is always saying Ubiquiti beats out anything Cisco offers below $3000.00?
Turned out to be even higher! Closer to $4K!

So I found the licensing for the Meraki Switches.
Pricing is as low as $350/year for a single year.
Ubiquiti has no licensing cost at all and is substantially cheaper, so why. . .

And this is the conclusion that Scott came to and posted about - what, 5 years ago?

Lackluster compared to the price? Or just in general?
According to each companies data sheets, Meraki does out perform Ubiquiti by a bit.

Meraki is really something we never consider since Ubiquiti came out. If you need something bigger than Ubiquiti, then Merkai is not the right product either.

Everything in IT is based on price. A Meraki for similar price to other things on the market is very slow.

For the list price of 1 Meraki I could get 10.4 Ubiquiti switches.
That's insane!
-
Does the Edge line need a controller or anything else? Anything I'm not seeing as something required or recommended for them?

wait, what? I thought you said it was $350? You found EdgeSwitches for under $35/ea? What port counts are you talking about here?

it need nothing.
But if not already, will soon probably be able to use UNMS if you want to centrally manage them.

No, $350 was just the meraki License. The unit it's self list for close to $7500

The MS250-48 list for $7500, on top of that you need to purchase the license which on the low end was $350/year.

Does this mean the switch has some form of UTM or that the controller at Meraki does, and this switch can just tie in.
