Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"App and firewall security at the AP.""Integrated Firewall in every AP (with DPI inspection) is a killer feature and it is included already in the price of licence (with others, this feature is an add-on licence).""The HiveManager integration with the VPN Gateway is awesome.""The cloud management gives us the tools and reports that we need to monitor and troubleshoot the network.""ExtremeCloud IQ is a complete package with the pilot and the co-pilot feature that gives me full visibility of the network.""Our transaction polling is now way more secure.""The support organization behind this product is extremely professional.""ExtremeCloud IQ is an intuitive platform. The tool's ability to streamline network operations depends on the end customer. Sometimes it's quicker, and sometimes it takes much longer. It helps me to address network problems."

More ExtremeCloud IQ Pros →

"It allows me to do more of the basic firewall features, like traffic management and others, in a single pane of glass.""A centralized platform is crucial for efficiently managing all of our switches, which were previously handled individually, leading to significant challenges.""The most valuable feature is the technical support, as it is better than others.""The most valuable feature is the management from a single pane of glass."

Cons
"The Virtual Appliance crashed once while doing an upgrade. The good thing here is, even if the management system fails, all our networks and features still remain 100% stable and working.""The solution will show us that there are some issues, but when we try to find those issues, we can't see them.""The dashboard and stability need to be improved.""Its price could be lower. It is a simplified solution, but it has price challenges. It is costly as compared to other solutions. It has almost everything. The only thing is that MAC is not possible on the cloud, and it has to be on-premises.""Certain features only exist or work in certain versions.""The managing of switches within this solution could be improved.""Pricing could be improved. It could be lower.""Having a wizard for customers who are just starting might be helpful."

More ExtremeCloud IQ Cons →

"The upgrades are very time-consuming and difficult, and they often have to rebuild the product.""Its interface should be improved and enhanced to offer various functions, with flexible pricing""I would like to them include network real-time performance and come up with a dashboard report.""I would like to see Space created to fully functional, where it's got multiple modules, particularly SD-WAN working on Corporate, or maybe become part of the Orchestrator portion."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Although the pricing is a bit high, I consider Aerohive to be well worth the money."
  • "Buy near the end of Q4 in order to get a deal."
  • "Bring the cost down."
  • "I would advise that you be sure to compare apples with apples. Many customers just look at the price per AP and licences, and compare that against other solutions. But, they do not look at the complete picture such as: TCO - how much the equipment will cost you over, say, seven years? Will the customer need to change complete infrastructure when they want to buy the newest hardware? Does support include a lifetime warranty and RMA?"
  • "For example, if you compare Aruba vs Aerohive, you need to check which licences from Aruba you need to match the functionality of Aerohive (usually you need at least three types of licences and a controller with redundancy). The same goes with Cisco, where you need buy additional licences for central management, firewall, spectral analysis, WIPS, PPSK, etc. Aerohive has a very simple model - one licence for all the functionalities - and you can believe that there are many. One licence makes it easy to maintain, scale, renew and you can plan your costs 10 years in advance."
  • "Start small and grow big. You can choose the basic Aerohive Connect free subscription solution and, later, if needed (in terms of functionality) you can upgrade to Aerohive Select."
  • "There are probably cheaper solutions but we invest for stability and performance for the longer haul."
  • "I did a multi-year license. It was a three-year license. It compares well with others in terms of the price. It is about a hundred dollars per year on a three-year scale."
  • More ExtremeCloud IQ Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We would like the price to be reduced."
  • "This product is set at a good price point."
  • "Typically, Juniper is more expensive than Cisco in initial costs, but overall, the long-term licensing fees that you're going to pay for Juniper versus Cisco is going to be less."
