"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"Aruba's mobility features, which facilitate seamless switching between wireless access points, are also quite impressive. Users don't even notice the transition, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted experience."

"In terms of stability, Aruba Instant is the best on the market."
"The coverage of the solution is great."

"The tech who handles Extreme IQ tells me it's easy to use and learn. He felt like it was pretty intuitive. It comes with solid training materials. He also has talked about the security features that give you as much or as little control as you want."
"Integrated Firewall in every AP (with DPI inspection) is a killer feature and it is included already in the price of licence (with others, this feature is an add-on licence)."
"When we deployed the new IP that is managed wirelessly in the cloud, it fixed the problems. Now, we don't have any more reports, and everything works fine."
"Everything can be seen from the dashboard."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized management capability."
"Our transaction polling is now way more secure."
"It's extremely easy to deploy. Even our access points are behind the net, not using real, public IP. We can easily add to the cloud. For deployment, we just need to let the access point take the DSCP from IP and then, even if it's not a requirement, we can see the serial number from the access points and add the serial number to the cloud directly."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."

"They should enhance reporting and add more features."
"Technical support needs improvement. We use the forum for technical support assistance, but it's not enough. If you're talking with a technician, they're in India. They cannot give you the service that you need. Sometimes have problems with some personal services and technical support is not helpful in this area."
"The connectivity of the solution can use some improvement."
"The captive portal through Facebook doesn't work."
"The tool's customer service should improve."
"The Virtual Appliance crashed once while doing an upgrade. The good thing here is, even if the management system fails, all our networks and features still remain 100% stable and working."
"ExtremeCloud should invest in an SD-WAN solution or integration with SD-WAN."
"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."

"Pricing could be improved. It could be lower."
