Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""It excels in Wi-Fi and switch management, as well as other internal management aspects, offering speed and efficiency that surpass what other competitors provide.""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.""When we deployed the new IP that is managed wirelessly in the cloud, it fixed the problems. Now, we don't have any more reports, and everything works fine.""Its configuration and deployment are the most valuable.""The few times we have needed help, Aerohive has been there for us and I am confident that If I need them they will be there again.""It is more cost effective and gives more flexibility.""ExtremeCloud IQ is a complete package with the pilot and the co-pilot feature that gives me full visibility of the network."

"We do not have any issues stability-wise.""Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults.""The platform has good stability.""Topology creation is the most valuable feature.""A good enterprise-level solution.""Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good.""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."

Cons
"The solution's performance needs to be enhanced because of a very high delay.""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.""We'd like to have a cloud dashboard from which we can see all devices.""The dashboard and stability need to be improved.""Their firewall configuration gets funky and it can be difficult to understand.""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.""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.""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."

"Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive.""As the technologies evolve, also these solutions or the monitoring tools should evolve to cover the progress in technology, including capabilities related to monitoring of virtualized devices today, as the DNS is on the table in this way.""The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized""Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected.""The solution should integrate with NAC servers.""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.""When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained."

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."

  • "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."
