Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."HiveManager is incredibly useful for managing APs and switches from one cloud interface."
"The cloud-based management interface allows us to fully manage all our wireless radios, ensuring consistency and ease of access."
"App and firewall security at the AP."
"The dashboards are great and the user interface is quite intuitive."
"Our transaction polling is now way more secure."
"The HiveManager integration with the VPN Gateway is awesome."
"It's extremely easy to deploy. Even our access points are behind the net, not using real, public IP. We can easily add to the cloud. For deployment, we just need to let the access point take the DSCP from IP and then, even if it's not a requirement, we can see the serial number from the access points and add the serial number to the cloud directly."
"The support organization behind this product is extremely professional."
"The product's price is competitive. It is an impressive and reliable product."
"The most useful feature is how the product integrates with the Microsoft directory in the cloud."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"The security is very good."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"The cloud-based management system is valuable."
"It's reliable and works well. It's pretty stable."
"It provides seamless connectivity if you move around."
"We'd like to have a cloud dashboard from which we can see all devices."
"The solution will show us that there are some issues, but when we try to find those issues, we can't see them."
"Certain features only exist or work in certain versions."
"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."
"ExtremeCloud should invest in an SD-WAN solution or integration with SD-WAN."
"I would like to see more security features such as NAC integrated to the solution. This would allow customers to be able to control all other users under one dashboard."
"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."
"For me, the only issue is the potential delay in the tool statistics updating in real time after making changes."
"The product must be provided at a cheaper price."
"The solution needs to improve its portfolio."
"The management portal is in need of improvement."
"The ExtremeWireless WiNG Access Point on-premise is not as good as the cloud and many of my customers are switching. It is easier for my clients to manage everything from the cloud. I currently use a model of the controller that does not support any cloud functionality."
"ExtremeWireless support isn't very good."
"The solution must include integrated IoT solutions on their wireless APs."
"The troubleshooting feature for the cloud version is challenging."
"The onsite controllers are not as good as the cloud controller. I would also like ExtremeWireless to add web filtering on the access point. This feature is available from other vendors but not ExtremeWireless."
