Wait, Cisco == Meraki ;)

I work for Aruba (outing myself on my first post on Lemmy, smooth move dude) but I see Mist marketing themselves everywhere in the space, interested on people's take on them.

Lol! I get hounded by Mist, but haven’t taken a real look at them. I’m breaking myself in at a Fortune company… about three months in. So I’m spending my time on getting up to speed. I’ll take a look at them though, and let you know what I think.

LOL more like Aruba == HPE, at least that's what we tell ourselves.

The folder in my Vendors folder says 'Aruba,' don't worry! After CommWare got sidelined for Aruba's OS, I could tell.
