Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."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 HiveManager integration with the VPN Gateway is awesome."
"ExtremeCloud IQ is a complete package with the pilot and the co-pilot feature that gives me full visibility of the network."
"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."
"Its configuration and deployment are the most valuable."
"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."
"a true controller-less approach, where each Access Point is 100% independent from the management system."
"The few times we have needed help, Aerohive has been there for us and I am confident that If I need them they will be there again."
"Pushing the network configuration to bulk devices. This saves a considerable amount of time that the engineer spends in pushing the network configuration."
"When compared with SolarWinds, it is more user-friendly, and tasks can be completed more quickly."
"It is a scalable product."
"It is stable for fault and availability."
"It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks."
"Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good."
"If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes."
"The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors."
"You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration."
"Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults."
"The managing of switches within this solution could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"There can be an improvement by incorporating two-factor authentication or multi-factor authentication for security. Advanced network access control features and application control features should be added to manage applications. Many customers are interested in managing data, such as setting data quotas for individual users."
"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."
"Browser load time for the cloud is long and needs improvement."
"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."
"Compatibility of the devices needs to be enhanced, as it seems to be limited."
"Level one administration task can be defined in Micro Focus Network Automation but it could be more simplified."
"The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized"
"They should add AI options in the product's next release."
"Only to improve the GUI."
"The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."
"As the technologies evolve, also these solutions or the monitoring tools should evolve to cover the progress in technology, including capabilities related to monitoring of virtualized devices today, as the DNS is on the table in this way."
"The solution should integrate with NAC servers."
"Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive."
