Conclusion
While every network will have a unique traffic pattern, this guide highlights a few common
scenarios to help you choose the right Cisco Meraki MX product for your environment.
Consider planning for future growth by allocating buffer room in your firewall selection
(e.g., if you currently have 550 users, choose an MX that supports 1000 users). This will
ensure that you can continue enabling additional security and network features as they
become available. Also considering ISP speeds are increasing 29% year over year, it is
important to choose a firewall that will serve you well over many years.
