Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I can know which end users are using which features.""There is information on migrating most of the cloud system's features.""The solution is easy to use.""The company also uses Cisco ISE in other places. I have been told that ExtremeControl is easier to use than ISE. The other reason we prefer ExtremeControl is stability. That's why they chose it for this big hospital in Oslo.""It has effectively enhanced network security and integrated with other security tools to streamline operations."
