We performed a comparison between ExtremeCloud IQ and Ubiquiti WLAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, HPE Aruba Networking and others in Network Management Applications."ExtremeCloud IQ is integrated with the Ekahau tool so that you can log in to the ExtremeCloud IQ portal, upload the cloud plans, draw all the interiors, and plan the APs with the real-time AP position."
"Ability to assign zero trust policies from the user."
"The dashboards are great and the user interface is quite intuitive."
"Extreme is transitioning to 802.11ax facilities running the 2G and the 5G cloud, allowing for higher density in education use cases, and ExtremeCloud IQ provides you with novel ways to manage everything. In the old days, you used to have a controller on-site for your access points, but everything is easier now."
"The support organization behind this product is extremely professional."
"Everything can be seen from the dashboard."
"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."
"The cloud-based controller through HiveManager is its most valuable feature. I can manage and configure changes to my access points from anywhere."
"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
"The solution is scalable."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's most valuable features are that it works well in a hybrid environment and isn't heavy on resources."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"The dashboard and stability need to be improved."
"A mobile app would be awesome."
"I would like to see a remote phone application for monitoring APs when on the road."
"The certification costs from suppliers are getting out of control, and it's not just Extreme. We have the same problem with Cisco and Huawei."
"A room for improvement in ExtremeCloud IQ is roaming. My team is facing roaming issues with the solution, particularly when using VoIP over WiFi. For example, VoIP sometimes breaks when you walk around the customer site. In terms of what I'd like to see in the next release of the solution, right now, the inventory for ExtremeCloud IQ is awful. There's no stock, and you must wait a year and a half for new stocks. It's awful."
"Their firewall configuration gets funky and it can be difficult to understand."
"Integrating the network access control solution can be complex, as it essentially combines two separate products."
"Lacks cyber asset tracking."
"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
"The logs are not detailed enough. You can't clearly see what is being blocked in Ubiquiti WLAN, making the troubleshooting process a little bit harder."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So, maintaining just one unified platform, like, for example, unifying the models or brands, and avoiding separate platforms for edge switches, edge routers, and other Ubiquiti products, would simplify the integration and implementation process."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
