It serves as a cloud-based management solution for both Wi-Fi and logs, as well as providing security features, particularly in the context of log management.

In traditional controller-based operations, people locally managing the APs face certain difficulties in managing every location because they need to log in to each individual controller for that specific location. So they don't know exactly where these APs are in the floor plan. We can't do all such things in the WLC unless we have a separate monitoring platform like AirWave in Aruba.

ExtremeCloud IQ is one solution where you can manage all these APs in a single glass and move from one location to another within the tabs with just a few mouse clicks. Also, you can place the AP positions, upload the floor planning to the ExtremeCloud IQ, and plan the heat map. You can manage and monitor information like which AP is broadcasting the signal in the floor plan, where that actual AP is positioned, how many clients are connected to the AP, the channel utilization, and the interference surrounding the AP.

So along with that, you can manage users, see the user statistics, see how many users are connected to the specific access point, the traffic they are passing, how much data they have consumed, and what websites they're accessing. The solution gives you a complete device-level and user-level 360-degree view. The solution is integrated with AI and ML. It offers some things in automation and the back end with the machine learning algorithm. It provides complete user statistics as well as device statistics.

We do training here, so we have several people coming into our system, and they're logging in with their phone or PC. ExtremeCloud IQ gives us some control, which our admin considers crucial.

Previously, we had a Ubiquiti WIFI system across our 32 acre campus. The signal strength was great, but it was not robust. Once 10-15 clients connected to an AP the whole system would slow to a crawl. Aerohive changed that for us. We now have no issues of automatically load balancing all of our APs.

We have over 100 offices across the state. Remote management has saved us thousands of dollars in travel and time. We are able to support our users' wireless needs anytime and anyplace. We can also proactively monitor all APs to correct errors before the users even know they may have a problem.

Our customer used to have a lot of issues with the previous version of the wireless network from Extreme Networks. 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.

Wireless is critical infrastructure in my environment. If my drivers cannot use their handheld scanners to connect to the network for inventory then the company is losing money. With all of the resiliency features and ability to scale I never have to worry about whether people can actually get work done. I'll go weeks at a time without needing to even look at the Hive manager interface and when I do it's because I need to either provision a new AP or update a network policy. It is pretty much a "set it and forget it" product.

It allows our guests to register and accept our terms and conditions without the paperwork that the IT team used to have to do to get someone connected to WiFi.

It has provided us with a fast, reliable wireless network. Aerohive has enabled us to roll out a successful BYOD scheme to 3 year groups to enhance teaching and learning in the classroom.

Aerohive Wireless solutions have allowed us to take the guess work out of managing a wireless network. The “single pane of glass” view into your wireless network allows you to manage all of your access points and clients in one location, greatly reducing the amount of time it may take to isolate and resolve issues.

After recently decreasing our tech staff, Aerohive has been a lifesaver. Our network rarely needs attention, and the reports and configurations are easy to run when needed. This has saved us a lot of man-hours!

It enabled mobility and district-wide consistent performance.

I never worry about the WiFi being down. An AP might have issues, but the others automatically increase power to fill in the gap. Usually, an issue is resolved with a configuration push and a restart.

The self-registration guest wi-fi portal and optional approval are very important to the functionality of our environment.

We didn't have wireless service available before implementing this product, so it has improved things quite a lot.

• Reliable WiFi across each floor.
• Segmented networks.
• VLANs for security.
• Much better environment for our users.
• We have been able to physically and virtually separate IoT, voice, and data.

This is an implementation stage for Aerohive Wireless. We are still in a PoC with Dell Sri Lanka. HiveManager is extremely easy to use for anyone with little network experience.

• We spend less time configuring/maintaining/troubleshooting controllers at a multitude of sites.
• "Single pane of glass" to go to when we need to troubleshoot wireless.
• Good troubleshooting tools that are built-in.

We have been able to easily support the needs of our 2,000+ high school students and staff in our one-to-one program.

We are able to deploy APs to locations that have a POE switch without much technical ability locally. I send an AP to a remote location and tell them to plug it into the switch. I've already configured it at my site and it comes up 'phones home' and I can manage it from hundreds of miles away. All without traveling.

We are able to provide wireless service while leveraging security mechanisms and utilizing some web filtering such as blocking torrent traffic.

Ease of use and features are its strongest points.

We have been able to deploy complex wireless solutions to our users with minimal difficulty.

We moved from 6 individual consumer-grade APs to the Aerohives.  Keeping the devices up to date and obtaining usage info from them was a never ending ordeal.  I didn't have 1 controller to deal with I had 6.

With the Branch Router able to be factory reset and still able to be connected to internet and it finds its way to our system allows us to get sites back online with out having to configure a new device and ship it to them for longer down times.

These devices have allowed our wireless network deployment to go from a 'best-effort' nicety to an 'expected' accommodation. The dependability is definitely appreciated.

One can easily set up and take down new networks for testing, or long term visitors, or easily set up temporary access for visitors.

Tracking down issues is fairly easy and we're able to identify and rectify the problem from one place.

We have been able to increase the bandwidth accessible to our users ten-fold though RADIUS server authentication with our MS Active Directory.

Easily make changes to the WLAN via the online portal rather than through a hardware controller. Reducing time spent by our team to make changes as when required.

We implemented more advanced Visitors networks on our sites and also more strict security rules for bring your own device and other wireless access networks. That wasn't possible without L7 firewall on AP itself. Also before we didn't have central management for all APs at our organization – now we can change anything we want from within one place.

By using AD sign in for our wireless, we can track things like printing volumes far easier than ever before. Also we can pinpoint the location of users should that need arise.

It gives us the ability to make guest connections to our wireless network easier. We don't have to worry about issues with getting 802.1x authentication set up, which can be tricky depending on Cert chains, virus scanners, and 3rd party hardware software that controls the wireless settings. Also give our residents the ability to have a better gaming experience with their gaming consoles, the Client Classification Policies let us move their gaming console to a less restrictive VLAN so they can make connections to do online gaming better.

Aerohive is significantly more robust, reliable and easier to mange (from anywhere) than our last solution.

Before we installed the Aerohive solution we had a few cheap individual access points without roaming or central management. Installing the Aerohive solution brought us a lot of management comfort and a good WiFi coverage for our patients with seamless roaming.

With our previous wifi system it was on premise and end of life. We were unable to get any more updates for it and with Cloud wifi there are no hardware limits and we also were able to expand mac authentication to 500 users vs. 125 with our existing system.

We went from a very unsophisticated wifi solution to an completely managed Aerohive setup. With minimal knowledge and experience, I was able to deploy a robust wireless solution that just works.

For me, this was basically a plug-and-play situation.

We were going from autonomous APs to a managed system and looked at several different vendors. The initial cost for all of the other vendors was far higher than the Aerohive solution, and even over 5 years it was still less expensive.

Competing products dependent upon controllers are a heavy lift. It can often seem as though you're managing a completely parallel network in addition to the wired LAN. This isn't the case with Aerohive. Most organizations don't have the human capital to spend on heavy management of a WLAN. Aerohive makes it much faster and easier to deploy. I had a a fully configured network (802.1X EAP/PEAP and guest SSIDs) deployed in a day. The built-in security features also make it much easier to provide compliance reports quickly.

The ease of management is great. We can have a single push of a policy to configure a unit, then bring up in the VPN in minutes. It is great!

The management/monitoring system really helps a lot in managing and monitoring the WiFi environment.

Since we started to work with this product, we have been able to save a lot of time, money, and support costs for our customers. Hence, we are able to deliver secure and fast unified network solutions across complete distributed locations for our customers.

Aerohive was able to replace a few APs quickly and without any issues. I was able to get them into our network easily and with almost no downtime. I also love the hive manager for finding a device that a student has misplaced. I can easily see which APs it has hit and start to identify its location.

90% improvement in getting connections for the students/staff.

We have been able to run State Assessment testing on laptops and iPads this year where in the past this was not even a consideration.

It allows you to provide a fast customer service. If a customer asks me to make a change on his wireless LAN I can modify it through cloud management. I don't need to connect to his network via a VPN.

Our previous solution had various issues - we went from a centralized wifi solution and converted to the Aerohive solution. This in the cloud solution is very practical as each device is not dependent from one device to the next.

• Rediced TCO
• Simplified troubleshooting
• Simplified network mangement

Wireless is no longer a ‘nice to have’ feature. It has become an essential component to a comprehensive network plan. Wireless is the default for BYOD users and mobile staff. The choice of a wireless vendor was incredibly important given the increasing reliance on mobility. Installing a campus-wide WLAN has given us more flexibility in meeting and classroom spaces, and it provides a value-added service for guests.

It's great to have just one interface to configure and go to as we manage our network. If troubleshooting is needed, having the single dashboard helps immensely.
