Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, HPE Aruba Networking and others in Network Management Applications."HiveManager is incredibly useful for managing APs and switches from one cloud interface."
"What's most valuable for me in ExtremeCloud IQ is easy management. It also has centralized administration, so you don't have to go to the customer site to program it. It can be programmed remotely."
"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."
"The HiveManager integration with the VPN Gateway is awesome."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized management capability."
"This solution's most valuable feature is its short deployment time."
"a true controller-less approach, where each Access Point is 100% independent from the management system."
"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)."
"It provides seamless connectivity if you move around."
"The technical support from Extreme Networks is perfect."
"I like Cloud IQ, ExtremeWireless' cloud controller and analytics platform. It's full of information, easy to use, and provides excellent visibility into my network."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"The stability of the solution has been fine."
"It's cloud-based and very easy to deploy."
"The product's price is competitive. It is an impressive and reliable product."
"The most useful feature is how the product integrates with the Microsoft directory in the cloud."
"ExtremeCloud should invest in an SD-WAN solution or integration with SD-WAN."
"Having a wizard for customers who are just starting might be helpful."
"The managing of switches within this solution could be improved."
"We have had some mediocre to poor experiences with tech support: Conflicting information, condescending attitudes, and reluctance to work to resolve an issue."
"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."
"They can improve just the onboarding process. More user information about the introduction to the product would be helpful. It would be good if they have a better user introduction to the new product because it is different than the prior version."
"From our perspective, we would love to see Aerohive provide faster feature enhancement in their Virtual Appliance to match the features with the cloud solution more quickly."
"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."
"The user interface of ExtremeWireless could be better. It is not user-friendly."
"In the next release, I would like to see more security features."
"It is a subscription model, so it is maybe a bit pricey."
"The cost is a little high."
"The main area for improvement is the company's local visibility."
"The onsite controllers are not as good as the cloud controller. I would also like ExtremeWireless to add web filtering on the access point. This feature is available from other vendors but not ExtremeWireless."
"They could provide different product models. Additionally, there could be a feature to manage devices."
"The management portal is in need of improvement."
