Our school district is moving to (~175) Meraki MR24 APs and (~10) switches (where APs are connected) to replace our aging Cisco system. We have roughly 2,400 district-owned devices. ~400 of those are wireless devices and we are planning to offer some combination of BYOD and/or 1:1, so that number will skyrocket.
We had been looking at Meraki's MX600 security appliance, but after a visit from Dell reps recently I was reminded that they offer SonicWall as well. Part of me thinks we should stick to brand continuity, but I was a big fan of SonicWall from a previous employer and wanted to know how they compared.
1 - What is the equivalent model SonicWall appliance to Meraki's MX600?
2 - Where do they two stand from a "vs." standpoint?
2a - Other considerations?
Thanks! I appreciate everyone's thoughts.
