Cisco announced the End-of-Sale of Meraki Systems Manager (SM) on December 3, 2025, with the end of support scheduled for June 3, 2029. This decision requires organizations relying on this solution to plan a migration within a maximum of three years. Although Cisco recommends Ivanti Neurons for MDM through its Solutions Plus program, this alternative does not address the main concerns of Meraki users, such as the loss of the simplicity of its unified interface and the increased complexity associated with legacy solutions.
This whitepaper examines the risks associated with this change and presents a clear methodology for migrating to Applivery, a cloud-native, API-first UEM platform. The proposal enables organizations to complete the migration in 2 to 4 weeks, compared with the 3 to 6 months typically required by other solutions, while reducing TCO by 30% to 40% and providing a modern, efficient, and future-ready alternative.
