He felt like it was pretty intuitive. It comes with solid training materials. He also has talked about the security features that give you as much or as little control as you want."
"The support organization behind this product is extremely professional."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized management capability."

"The cloud-based management interface allows us to fully manage all our wireless radios, ensuring consistency and ease of access."
"ExtremeCloud IQ is integrated with the Ekahau tool so that you can log in to the ExtremeCloud IQ portal, upload the cloud plans, draw all the interiors, and plan the APs with the real-time AP position."
"Our transaction polling is now way more secure."
"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."
"I think it's a good technology. I like that it transparently connects with LDAP. The technology has a lot of capacity for WiFi six. It provides notifications, and there are many ways to connect with fiber. There is an electrical tool, and you can put an SFP transceiver. There are also many ways to implement antennas."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"It has all of the features that we need."
"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."
"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."
"You can add a lot of features, such as cloud, integration with IoT, etc. They have a lot of options available but the top feature is the performance."
"A mobile app would be awesome."
"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."
"Their firewall configuration gets funky and it can be difficult to understand."
"The managing of switches within this solution could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"A room for improvement in ExtremeCloud IQ is roaming. My team is facing roaming issues with the solution, particularly when using VoIP over WiFi. For example, VoIP sometimes breaks when you walk around the customer site. In terms of what I'd like to see in the next release of the solution, right now, the inventory for ExtremeCloud IQ is awful. There's no stock, and you must wait a year and a half for new stocks. It's awful."
"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."
"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful. Also how you can monetize the information you get from Wi-Fi controllers should be improved."
"Cloud integration needs to be improved."
"Technical support could be better."
"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."
"The manageability could be improved."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."
