It's a good product that works fine. Also, its configuration is very robust.
ExtremeCloud IQ Review
The setup is straightforward and the deep configurations are more robust than Meraki devices. Even though it's a robust product, it's not very intuitive.
What is most valuable?
What needs improvement?
It needs to have a good Layer 7 and a better user interface. And even though it's a robust product, it's not very intuitive.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
We had no issues with the deployment.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's a stable device and we haven't had any issues with instability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
There have been no issues scaling it.
How are customer service and technical support?
I haven't needed to contact technical support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We also use Meraki MX and MR devices.
How was the initial setup?
The setup is easy and the deep configurations are more robust than Meraki devices.
What other advice do I have?
It's a good product, but I prefer Meraki. With Aerohive, the performance is good but the configuration can be inconvenient.

Have you tried Hivemanager NG? I find that to be a HUGE improvement over the previous interface.
