"ExtremeCloud offers features that not a lot of other vendors do like their data storage and the ability to swap licenses."

"The dashboards are great and the user interface is quite intuitive."
"Everything can be seen from the dashboard."

"I like the price and its capacity."
"Ruckus Wireless is an easy to manage solution."
"We rarely had access points fail in the field. They were rock solid, durable, and had the best signal penetration from any we tested."
"The most valuable features are the coverage and durability."
"The most valuable feature of Ruckus Wireless is the Beamforming feature."
"Zero-handoff is one of the top features. The client balancing between the access points is good. Its security is also fine."
"One of the most valuable features I appreciate is auto channelization, facilitated by a proprietary product called ChannelFly."
"It has one of the smoothest operations."
"Need port aggregation on the 2384 switches to take full advantage of ac on the APs. I understand that is on their product road map."
