Anyone pay for Meraki MDM

[Sheridan]

I'm using Meraki MDM Systems Manager for a bunch of ipads and I really like the functionality - we're on the free version as we converted a while back. However we're now approaching the 100 limit and although tests with Mosyle (free) have been pretty good, I still think Meraki is the slicker system.

 

The clincher is the cost, I'm waiting for some prices, but has anyone paid for their Meraki System Manager licences? I'm guessing once I hit the 101 mark, I'm going to have to pay for 101 and not just the 1 over!

 

Pricing I've seen for US seems way too much, like $60 per device for 2 years!? Way out of budget - wouldn't be so bad if you could just pay for the devices added over the 100 count.

If you not going near the best MDM's then Meraki is nowhere near as good as Mosyle and it's more expensive...

One of our schools paid for it just after it became chargeable. Wasn’t too bad - similar pricing to zuludesk at the point.

 

However it took ages to get a quote and pay for. And the last quote we had for a school was way more than that. Switched to mosyle now - and would pay for the premium features if needed too.

We negotiated the price down to less than £5 per device per year when buying 4 years but since then have used the LGFL licences that are included in part of their Broadband service saving us lots of money. It was tricky to get a straight answer about price from Cisco as it seems to change depending on who you talk to.
