ExtremeCloud IQ Implementation Team
ExtremeCloud IQ's deployment takes 20 to 30 minutes per site.
Mostly, we do ExtremeCloud IQ's deployment ourselves. Initially, we took some help from our partner, who provided these APs for at least one site. Later, we started doing the configuration for the rest of the sites.
We have to allow some ports, specifically towards the cloud from the firewall side, to communicate APs with their respective regional data center or particular cloud platform of ExtremeCloud IQ. So we have to allow some ports, and we need to do the configuration of the basic AP and provide an internet connection for the AP to communicate with a particular cloud controller. Once it reaches the global cloud control center, then it will be assigned to the respective country we are located in. Every country has its local DR application, which allows less latency and faster communication between APs.
We need to allow some ports and provide an internet connection, and then the people automatically will start communicating with the respective controller. We need to add this AP serial number into the cloud portal as a claim so that this AP is part of my organization and identified based on that serial number.
Two people are required for the deployment of the solution. Their job is to identify the AP positions, verify if internet ports are available on the site and ensure that everything is done according to the checklist we provided. Later, they connect the connections.
One person is enough for the maintenance of the solution. This person validates the AP position, checks for new fixes in that area, verifies the antenna placements, and checks for the broken state to verify the AP's on-site validation. He also pushes the software remotely and ensures the hardware works properly.
We have used third-party assistance. There are vendors that can help. We're only professors. They have professional IT skills.
View full review »We used a vendor for the initial implementation. From what I've heard, the vendor is quite skilled with Aerohive. We were able to verify with several companies who used their services and were satisfied.

We used an in-house team with support from Dell and Aerohive technicians. They have made sales and technical staff available to work with us on any installation issues.

I handled the implementation myself. Two people are needed for deployment, and one person is enough for maintenance.

ExtremeCloud IQ is a cloud solution. So when the AP joins the cloud, it takes 10 to 15 minutes to deploy.
Deploying ExtremeCloud IQ involves connecting the AP to a wireless internet source, then registering the serial number of the AP on the ExtremeCloud IQ portal. Then it will be onboard, and I can do whatever I want.
One engineer is needed for the maintenance and deployment of the solution.
Through a vendor team, LAN3 Ltd. They have been excellent from sales through to technical support. I have attended two training sessions at LAN3 on Aerohive and I found the sessions to be both informative and enjoyable. Support for Aerohive is impeccable.

View full review »I implemented through a vendor team. Their knowledge was fantastic, and the collaboration between them and the Aerohive folks was amazing. Both were included in all correspondences.
View full review »The vendor is a reseller of Aerohive and would get a C or C+ from me. We cut loose very early from needing their support though, and that is to the credit of Aeorhive who gets an A+.

We had another company do the implementation. They showed us how to use it and handed it over. I have no complaints about the deployment.
I do the maintenance on it.

It was implemented by both an in-house team and a vendor team. The vendor team was on-time, thorough, on-budget, knowledgeable, responsive, and thoroughly professional. We got some help from Aerohive support as well.
View full review »The configuration was a collaboration between in-house and an Aerohive engineer. The implementation in terms of cabling and actual installation of APs were done through a vendor. The vendor expertise was not as great as we would have liked.

View full review »We implemented the solution on our own, without any previous training or external consulting. That shows the ease of use. It would maybe have been different if we had chosen to put the HiveManager on premise. But with the cloud host solution it was really easy going for us.
