Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."The Client 360 feature provides a comprehensive view of your clients and their activities, including the devices they use. Additionally, a feature called Network 360 offers a 360-degree view of the network, like data usage (in GB), the status of ports and AP, and other details. You can drill down on granular-level drills to gain insights into specific applications and usage patterns like application level and fee, where your data is being wasted or what your clients are doing with the Internet data, what kind of applications they are using, etc."
"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."
"What's most valuable for me in ExtremeCloud IQ is easy management. It also has centralized administration, so you don't have to go to the customer site to program it. It can be programmed remotely."
"What our customers like the most is that this device is so rugged. It has very good performance and throughput. Its console is very easy to use and has many features, which makes it different from its competitors. Cloud IQ has all the features built into the console, whereas other solutions require you to integrate multiple solutions with their consoles. You don't need to add anything extra with Cloud IQ. With this single solution, you can do almost everything."
"Extreme is transitioning to 802.11ax facilities running the 2G and the 5G cloud, allowing for higher density in education use cases, and ExtremeCloud IQ provides you with novel ways to manage everything. In the old days, you used to have a controller on-site for your access points, but everything is easier now."
"It is more cost effective and gives more flexibility."
"The feature that I like to most is unified management in a multitenant environment, where we can manage all our customers with thousands of devices (routers, switches, VPNs, and APs)."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized management capability."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is very scalable."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the workflow-driven setup for the infrastructure component."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's most valuable features are that it works well in a hybrid environment and isn't heavy on resources."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable and is easy to install."
"They can improve just the onboarding process. More user information about the introduction to the product would be helpful. It would be good if they have a better user introduction to the new product because it is different than the prior version."
"The managing of switches within this solution could be improved."
"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."
"The solution's performance needs to be enhanced because of a very high delay."
"Integrating the network access control solution can be complex, as it essentially combines two separate products."
"The licensing model could be improved."
"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."
"Lacks cyber asset tracking."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"When they release new products, you should know if there backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, It is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed."
"The room for improvement is in the controller levels."
"It is not a stable solution."
"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability."
