Cisco Meraki MDM
Product Summary
Cisco Meraki is a cloud-managed networking platform within Cisco that provides visibility and control across networking, security, and endpoint environments. Its mobile device management (MDM) feature, offered through Meraki Systems Manager, enables organizations to manage and secure mobile devices from a single dashboard.
Systems Manager integrates with the broader Cisco security ecosystem as well as adjusts and enforces network access policies based on device compliance.
It should be noted that Cisco announced the end-of-sale (EOS) for Meraki Systems Manager on December 2, 2025. New purchases will be available until June 3, 2026, and support will continue through June 3, 2029. With that said, organizations evaluating long-term MDM strategies should consider alternative solutions for future deployments.
Use Cases
- Security:
Meraki Systems Manager enables administrators to enforce security policies to protect device data, restrict device features, and control passcode requirements. - Content management:
The platform’s on-device content management feature lets technicians deploy and manage apps, images, documents, and other files on Android, Apple, and Windows devices. - Geolocation:
Cisco Meraki’s geolocation capabilities allow users to locate managed devices and enforce security policies such as lost-mode or location-based restrictions.
Shortcomings
- Product lifecycle status:
With Systems Manager now in EOS, organizations may need to transition to alternative platforms before support ends. - Limited customization:
Meraki’s UI and branding customization options are relatively limited compared to those of other standalone MDM solutions. - Log information:
The customer portal lacks some necessary log information, making it challenging for technicians to swiftly analyze and troubleshoot issues.
LogicMonitor
Product Summary
LogicMonitor is a SaaS-based, cloud-native monitoring platform that consolidates several monitoring tools. It enables MSPs and IT administrators to use a single hub to monitor an organization’s IT infrastructure. It can seamlessly collect data, provide valuable insights into device or server performance, and alert technicians to any anomalies discovered so that they can resolve any issues.
Use Cases
- Remote monitoring:
LogicMonitor gathers data and provides visibility into remote endpoint devices and networks. - Custom Data:
Users can create custom datasets or simply utilize a template to extract data from endpoints and networks. - IT infrastructure security:
LogicMonitor uses analytic and diagnostic tools to identify any issues with networks, servers, and applications and offer troubleshooting solutions.
Shortcomings
- Complex configuration:
Reviews say that setting up configurations, alerts, and custom integrations is a complex process that requires more technical expertise and time. - User interface:
A lot of users have said that LogicMonitor lacks customizability for the interface, and the UI’s limited filtering options make navigating difficult. - Difficult setup:
LogicMonitor has a lot of features which gives it a steep learning curve, and it can require more time and resources to get IT professionals comfortable with the platform.
