The initial setup is very easy, and there's no challenge. Mostly, the GUI is very

intuitive and user-friendly, making the setup and configuration process easy.

You create an account, then add your APs and create your policies. If you have some advanced license, you can add that. Else, choose the free account.

For deployment, one guy is enough to do it. Even junior-level guys can handle the configuration after one or two training sessions.

ExtremeCloud IQ is easy to set up.

I rate ExtremeCloud IQ an eight out of ten for its ease of setup.

Setting up ExtremeCloud IQ is a straightforward process.

It's a straightforward setup.

While the vendor helps us with the setup, we have written the RFP and everything.

There isn't a lot of maintenance required. It's working smoothly now and doesn't need much upkeep.

We actually used a vendor to complete the initial setup. Based on what I've seen, it doesn't look very complicated. All of the changes we made afterwards were pretty straightforward.

Nothing is straightforward in the data world, and it won't be easy for people who don't know what they're doing, especially as environments become more complex. However, it's effortless if you've been trained and certified. One person could handle a small deployment, but we're doing around 850 access points at the university, and we've got a team of eight people. 

Setup and deployment is very simple. Built-in wizards help with most tasks, making it easy for new users to get a quick start.

Initial setup isn't complex. 

We opened a new email account with Extreme Portal and got a new account, like in the technical university. I entered my email address, set up a password, and that was all. We have an essential license actually, which is a limited license, but it was super easy.

The way that we can set up devices in the cloud is very easy, so we can do it if we follow the guide. It took us less than a week to set up.

Initial setup is ridiculously easy. If you're going with the on-premise Hive manager then you install the OVA, get into the text-based setup, assign a hostname and network information, and then launch the web GUI. From there you are two minutes away from having a functioning wireless network. If you're going with the Hive Manager Online (HMOL) then it is even easier. The AP's find their own way to the Hive manager either via DHCP options or via a DNS lookup for their HMOL.

Initial setup was a little complex because of the number of options in configuration. It was a little complicated because we did not find the management interface intuitive about making changes to previously created access groups and SSIDs.

The solution's initial setup is straightforward.

I rate the tool's deployment a seven out of ten. The duration for deployment varies based on the client's specific configurations and requirements. It can range from one day to sometimes three days for final configuration and functionality. Three resources are enough to handle the tool's deployment. 

Initial setup was straight forward. The GUI is easy to navigate and I was familiar with it as I have been on Aerohive training. Easy to follow wizard for basic setup.

Initial setup can be more complex than a home office or small business wireless solution and does require some initial training or reading at the very least. It’s less complex than something like Cisco WLC.

The initial setup was very straightforward. As someone with very limited network experience, I was able to get the devices up and running myself with just a couple of calls for support.

As straightforward as you could expect from a complex project. Aerohive was the easiest portion of it too.

The initial setup was easy.

It took 30 minutes to deploy.

This solution can be maintained by one person.

The setup was straightforward. You build a policy in HiveManager Online, set the sub-net, and then plug in an AP on that sub-net. This will automatically push the configuration down, once it calls home from your network.

Slightly complex - we have multiple profiles / classes of users, multiple SSID's, and different types of AP's.

The initial setup was easy.

Initial setup was fairly complex as we had several VLANs with different security and operational requirements. We also had a 10GB aggregation to our SonicWALL and everything went great.

The setup was a little complex because we had never used the product, and we were making network changes to how things were configured previously.

Initial setup was very straightforward, as we had been Aerohive customers in the past. Everything just seems to just work. We were able to get wifi up in our new building within 10 minutes of having internet access, and then were able to install and deploy additional access points with ease.

The only issues we had during setup was the fact of putting too much signal out there. Our old system (Meru) had a unique design philosophy and so we had APs in every room possible. The Aerohive system did not require that many APs to do the same job. Just placing them appropriately for RF interference and support helped me through those issues.

The initial setup is straightforward. If you want to have a straightforward network, it's extremely simple to set up.

Setup is fairly straightforward. Our initial deployment included using the Aerohive AP's to authorize radius requests which made it more complex for setup.

The initial setup is very easy. the APs automatically find our local Hive Manager and make it very straight-forward to configure.

It can be as simple or complex as you wish.

Setup seems to be pretty straightforward, I was not here for initial setup that was handle by other techs. Setups I have done have been very simple and straight forward.

This system was set up before I began managing the environment. I cannot say if there were issues in the initial setup, or speak to it being straightforward or complex.

Very easy to set up. Much easier to set up than to meet the requirements for this review, the one hundred and twenty character requirement is very onerous.

Initial setup was a little complex, just needed to think a little differently than with other vendors.

The initial setup was a doddle. Very easy to configure with a private and guest SSID. We have now moved to using an External Radius which works without issue.

Initial setup was straightforward – it’s very easy to deploy it. We had a pilot on one site, where all our needs were tested and then solution was deployed to the rest of company.

I wasn't here when the initial deployment took place, but as I understand it it was incredibly smooth. The planning tool is very intuitive and helpful.

The initial setup was complex, but no more complex than a similar wireless solution. Honestly, hanging the APs and running cable was way more of a pain than the planning and deployment of the Aerohive system.

It has a very straightforward setup. There is not much to do. We just have to configure the console. That's it.

The deployment duration depends on the configuration that a customer wants, such as how granularly they want to configure the policies and whether they want to configure it as a WiFi. It is a cloud-based solution, so it generally doesn't take long. If you want to connect the API and make it live, it is a one-day job. Once you configure the controlled access, the API will connect to it, and you have to just push the policy on that API.

The initial setup was very easy. Plug the AP's into the network, wait for HiveManager to detect them and push he prepared config. Done.

The initial setup was pretty easy. We did run into some issues due to some of our access points were initially registered to the HiveManager and not NG. Once I contacted support, they were able to get everything switched and I was up and running. The network profiles were a little difficult to setup to use Mac authentication.

The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment time depends on the size of the project but it has a normal wifi installation, site surveys, and connectivity between the management, the HiveManager, and the access points.

The initial setup was straightforward. It was extremely easy to get up and running.

The initial setup is straightforward. 

Once I figured it out, it was easy. There is an actual deployment interface, and if you can find this deployment interface when you first log into the application, it helps to speed up the deployment.

Initial setup was straightforward; easy deployment.

Straightforward. You can set up Aerohive in just six clicks, and the system even guides you throughout the setup. Implementing 802.1x auth is also very simple and is doable in just five minutes.

Yes. As easy as 123!

I wasn't on board for the setup.

With the great support from Aerohive, it was easy to set up.

Very straightforward, in that all you have to do is had someone an AP plug it into the network and HiveManager finds it and sets it up.

You have to know how the network works and how the interface works. If you follow a course you can create a wireless network in an hour or less.

Straightforward

I was not a part of the initial setup. Several members of my team did work on the development of this project and no major issues were signaled.

The setup is easy and the deep configurations are more robust than Meraki devices.

Very simple to deploy initially - There's a Wizard to generate a basic SSID and get connected. More in depth configuration can then be done easily once basic connectivity has been established.
