My company uses Aruba and Huawei.

My company has seen that Huawei's lifecycle management system is the best. Huawei is best for managing devices, which is why my company likes the tool. Huawei is also easily available in the market, so you can place an order and get it immediately. Huawei Office has better coverage than the devices that fall under Cisco.

Apart from Cisco Wireless, I have used some other solutions in my company only for testing purposes.

One main difference between Cisco Wireless and other wireless products, such as HPE, is their management platforms. HPE's management platform is often perceived as more intuitive than Cisco Wireless's. However, it's important to note that we don't utilize either vendor's management platform. Instead, we manage our wireless infrastructure directly from the access points. Each AP within our clusters functions as a management AP. 

I also use Aruba. I've been working with Aruba for the past two years, sporadically now and then.

We just have Cisco solutions. We don't have any other vendors in our network.

Yes, the network was horrible and everything was cascading. That's why we use cisco.

If I make a comparison with Huawei 6.0 with Cisco, Huawei is better. 

Actually, we have now switched to Ruckus only about a month ago. After evaluating the costs for upgrading the entire wireless network, we found that it would have been too expensive for us to continue with Cisco Wireless.

I also have experience with Aruba. I'd say that Cisco is a bit more complicated to set up.

That said, we went to Cisco from day one - even before they had wireless controllers. Cisco is our go-to solution.

We were using another solution, but it was incompatible with the Identity Services Engine we deployed. So, we switched to Cisco Wireless.

I know that Aruba is better than Cisco, they really need to improve things. 

We have a mix of Cisco and Aruba. Aruba hardware is superior to Cisco's. Cisco cannot come close to matching Aruba in throughput, performance, and coverage area. Cisco's main advantage is integration with ISE because many organizations can't shift the NAT or the authentication part. It's very difficult or not advisable to do it.

In my latest company, we use Aruba Networks and Cisco Wireless on-site. We use Aruba for IPs on Azure, while Cisco Wireless is used on Azure as well due to the high cost of data processing. For Aruba, we use models like the 5747 and the latest 370 series. In addition, there are other services like the 7200 controller and the 5700 series used across various rooms.

We have only been working with Cisco Wireless. We are a partner and reseller.

I've also used Aruba. I actually prefer Aruba to Cisco.

I have used HPE and Apple wireless solutions previously.

Switched to Cisco because of upper-level decision.

We definitely tried many solutions before going mainly with Cisco Wireless, including Ruckus and Aruba.

The major reason to go with cisco has been the support system. Nobody can beat Cisco when it comes to their support infrastructure and the SLA (Service Level Agreement) that they provide. The number of engineers who are available who are Cisco certified is much greater than those certified in Aruba or Ruckus. So anybody who deploys Cisco can easily get a Cisco Certified Engineer to take care of there wireless network.

I have experience with both Meraki and Cisco.

I have previously used and I am still using the IAP model solution from Aruba. This is a solution that can merge different features. For example, we can control the access points locally and there is a cloud platform to manage everything with Meraki that you do not have in traditional Cisco solutions like this one.

My clients, and I, have used Ruckus networks previously. My clients wanted to move to Cisco because they know the value Cisco offers and are thinking of implement some IoT solutions in the future, they wanted top quality. Later they also found Cisco is a little bit easier to implement.

We're actually doing a test with Aruba Wireless right now. We want to use both. THe POC has been going on for one month.

I have been using the Cisco solution since 2011.

We used HP products before we switched to Cisco. The reason we switched was that this solution was more secure, the price was better, it was easier to implement, and the integration with our infrastructure from LAN and WAN was superior.

I have used other solutions previously, such as Aruba and Huawei wireless.

We plan to deploy Cisco SD-WAN in December.

We use Cisco WLC, and our entire VOQ is Cisco-based.

My core network, distribution network, and access network are all Cisco-based.

I have always used Cisco. I have friends and colleagues who have used Aruba and other things. As I mentioned earlier, they're very similar as far the access points go. They have a similar technology, Clean Air, etc., they have it. 

The only problem is, as I mentioned, they are not using Aruba switches or routers, etc. So when an issue arises they have to finger-point to a different vendor. So I try to avoid that kind of different vendor finger-pointing. If I can have the same vendor solution and it's stable and works well, why not use them that way. If there's any problem, it is one vendor, there is no finger-pointing.

We previously used an Aruba solution and we switched because Cisco had a flexible deployment model, it is easy to operate, and has a stable OS.

I currently also use Aruba. I also have worked with Extreme. 

There are very similar devices and have the same features for the most part. Both are stable and excellent in terms of capabilities. Cisco, however, does offer better support.

I have used TP-Link Solution but the Devices hung every 1-2 days

We have always used Cisco.

We have prior experience with Cisco Meraki, which is a powerful solution.

We used to use HP. We've used them for over ten years and we are still using them.

We have been using other products like Cambium, Ruckus, and HP. Before we implement Cisco, we had read a lot of reviews of its stability and durability, and indeed, it was true.

I also work with Fortinet. I have much more experience with Cisco. I don't have so much experience with Fortinet.

We were using another option. It was not professional, something like D-Link. We had to configure each router separately. That's why we use Cisco, because I like the controller.

There is a company here, a Cisco partner or distributor. They advised us to use the system, and they brought it to us.

I have also used another Cisco product but at another company, Cisco Meraki. It's easier in terms of the configuration and the cloud. I liked it.

I moved to Cisco because it's a solution that many companies use. I already had experience with Cisco routers and switches, so it was easier to configure and to manage Cisco products.

I did not switch to Cisco. We suggest products based on the clients' needs. It depends on the different scenarios we come across. It depends on the clients, what their requirements are and what their budgeted is, because Cisco is more on the expensive side, as compared to Aruba, but I must say Cisco's quality is unmatched, for sure.

Several. Cisco is more scalable and actually less costly over time.

I did use HPE's Aruba solution, but not that extensively.

We also use Meraki as well.

I'm aware of Aruba's capabilities and find Cisco to be better. However, it costs a bit more than Aruba.

We worked with Cisco Prime and Cisco Controller.

We were previously using Linksys many years ago but they were acquired by Cisco, and we made the migration to Cisco.

Checking out alternatives right now.

Yes. We switched due to company decisions.

I have only ever used Cisco.

We are also using Huawei wireless.

I have used other vendors for security related products.

The coverage range is far superior to the model that we were using.

The previous solution consisted of a wireless controller and 15 access points. There was a lot of labour hours that had to be wasted on fine tuning the wireless settings, the wireless network just did not meet the clients expectations. The issues were escalated to the distributor and the vendor directly, which made resources available on site but still took days to get stable.

No, the Cisco WLC is our first wireless solution.

Before we chose Cisco wireless, we evaluated it based on Extreme Networks. We switched because Extreme Networks support is not good here in Malaysia.

I also have experience with Ruckus, Ubiquiti, and Huawei wireless solutions.

I also have experience with Aruba and Ruckus.

We used MOTOROLA/SYMBOL. It is an solution with no innovation and less features than Cisco Wireless Solution.

Previously, we have not used any other solutions.

I haven’t switched anyone but we do often deploy Ubiquiti Unifi equipment for our smaller clients

We have some other access points, but they are normal, standard APs. For our branch office, we use fat APs, just normal wireless outlets from off-the-shelf, like D-Link and so on. 

We previously used Aruba. Their technique is the same but it's easier with Cisco.

Before this solution we did not have any wireless solution, we had a stand-alone wireless. My global team wanted Cisco, so we went with Cisco. But, in a couple of other places, we've used Aruba and we're quite satisfied with it as well.

But it's something like when you prefer a certain flavor of coffee. It's not that you don't like the other coffee, but you like coffee A better than coffee B. It's just the comfort level or maybe you feel better with a certain product. So there's nothing wrong with the product that I'm currently using. I'm using Cisco and I'm quite satisfied with it. Otherwise, given a choice, given the funds, if someone were to say, “What is the next thing that you would like to move to?” because my experience with the alternate product has been really good, I would switch to that.

No other solution was used.

Prior to using the solution, I used Aruba.

Previously we used Cisco WiSM and then WiSM2.

No previous solution used.

Our customer used Linksys access points and they had problems with their connection so they decided for WLAN.

We work as a service provider, and therefore we use a variety of products, including Cisco, Meraki, Ruckus, and Hadoop.

Although we've used other solutions, we've stuck with Cisco ourselves from the start.

Previously, we did not use another solution.

No, this product is the only one I have used.
