Recommended wireless AP for 400 users office

Sun Feb 1 14:41:52 UTC 2015

We are substantially larger and use Aruba, but I am wondering why no one
has mentioned Meraki (now cisco-meraki).  We tried one of their give-away
aps and it seemed fine, with the 'cloud management.'   I am not advocating
Meraki, just curious.
best,
