Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."The dashboards are great and the user interface is quite intuitive."
"The feature that I like to most is unified management in a multitenant environment, where we can manage all our customers with thousands of devices (routers, switches, VPNs, and APs)."
"This solution's most valuable feature is its short deployment time."
"It excels in Wi-Fi and switch management, as well as other internal management aspects, offering speed and efficiency that surpass what other competitors provide."
"ExtremeCloud IQ is a complete package with the pilot and the co-pilot feature that gives me full visibility of the network."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized management capability."
"The Client 360 feature provides a comprehensive view of your clients and their activities, including the devices they use. Additionally, a feature called Network 360 offers a 360-degree view of the network, like data usage (in GB), the status of ports and AP, and other details. You can drill down on granular-level drills to gain insights into specific applications and usage patterns like application level and fee, where your data is being wasted or what your clients are doing with the Internet data, what kind of applications they are using, etc."
"ExtremeCloud IQ is an intuitive platform. The tool's ability to streamline network operations depends on the end customer. Sometimes it's quicker, and sometimes it takes much longer. It helps me to address network problems."
"The ease of the setup is one of its most valuable aspects."
"Ubiquiti is easier to install than Mikrotik."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti Wireless is the ease of configuration."
"The solution has an easy configuration."
"Installation is easy with seamless integration of additional APs."
"Ubiquiti Wireless is extremely easy to set up."
"I like that it's cheaper and inexpensive. It's also easy to use."
"It's very easy to use. The hardware is very easy to use, compared to Microsoft. Microsoft is more complicated. It has software that is okay if you are familiar with it. In my opinion, Ubiquiti hardware is more heavy duty then Microsoft."
"The solution will show us that there are some issues, but when we try to find those issues, we can't see them."
"A mobile app would be awesome."
"The licensing model could be improved."
"Having a wizard for customers who are just starting might be helpful."
"Integrating the network access control solution can be complex, as it essentially combines two separate products."
"I know a school district, a big school district of mine, ripped out Extreme due to inefficiencies. It was the guest network that can be a struggle. They tried to differentiate between their primary network, and then offer a secondary."
"We'd like to have a cloud dashboard from which we can see all devices."
"Pricing could be improved. It could be lower."
"Ubiquiti Wireless could improve stability."
"The solution has very good product lines. However, it feels like some models overlap. For example, a new model is announced after three months, and another new model is announced shortly after. So, the release cycle feels too short, and some features overlap. Overall, the products are very good and reliable."
"They have access points that are in the firewalls, and I believe the firewalls could be significantly better. They use the USG firewall, which I believe is a poor device. VPNs for example, it is really bad, it is difficult to configure, and I don't like them at all."
"The mesh configuration and WiFi 6 coverage should be improved."
"I would like to see this solution have any kind of captive portal on the tool or user accounting tool. This would be quite useful for companies."
"Ubiquiti is also slow to adopt new technologies. We are transitioning to Wi-Fi 6, and there aren't many products. They have mostly Wi-Fi 5 products, but there are only two Wi-Fi 6 products. It's okay for places we have already equipped, but it's a bit hard for new places."
"They should have more VLAN features and a designing tool like a link planer."
"Their stock is a bit low compared to others, making it difficult to purchase."
