Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 cloud-based management interface allows us to fully manage all our wireless radios, ensuring consistency and ease of access.""The dashboards are great and the user interface is quite intuitive.""Everything can be seen from the dashboard.""The cloud management gives us the tools and reports that we need to monitor and troubleshoot the network.""App and firewall security at the AP.""The most valuable feature is the centralized management capability.""HiveManager is extremely easy to use for anyone with little network experience."

"The platform has good stability.""The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors.""Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults.""We do not have any issues stability-wise.""You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration.""Most valuable function would have to the internal causal engine and its root cause analyzer which keep us updated on critical errors and incidents in our network environment.""It's quite a mature solution.""Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good."

Cons
"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.""An area for improvement in ExtremeCloud IQ is its technical support. Support could be better, especially when you need help concerning ExtremeCloud IQ and WinG.""Browser load time for the cloud is long and needs improvement.""The managing of switches within this solution could be improved.""I would like to see a remote phone application for monitoring APs when on the road.""The licensing model could 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.""For me, the only issue is the potential delay in the tool statistics updating in real time after making changes."

More ExtremeCloud IQ Cons →

"Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive.""The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement.""The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly.""When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained.""Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected.""The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports.""Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic.""Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."

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 →

  • "The solution is priced mid-range compared to the competition."
  • "I wasn't involved in the pricing, but I think it's quite expensive."
  • "It's an expensive solution."
  • "The solution is quite expensive."
  • "It is more inexpensive than other products in the market."
