ExtremeCloud IQ Other Advice

DK
Owner at Sebitu

Due to the outdated nature and complexity of implementing the network access solution, it's anticipated that the tech team will face significant challenges, requiring considerable effort and resources. Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

The solution has easy maintenance. Unlike other solutions, it’s very convenient and easy to maintain because it’s a cloud solution. The solution gets updates and patches easily, and we can immediately benefit from any new features or versions introduced. Adding new IPs or setting up new sites when customers open branches is a simple process of adding the serial numbers of the APIs and provisioning the settings across them.

We have used other tools for network monitoring like the Motadata. 

Try out the features and experience the hardware, software, and unit management solution they are offering, especially with the AI and machine-enabled cloud features. The available features are impressive. It's not just about opting for popular names; other players in the market can provide similar solutions at an affordable cost. You can save on your IT budget without compromising quality by exploring different options. Allocating the saved budget for other requirements becomes possible when you choose a reputable product at a more affordable cost.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

ExtremeCloud IQ is not the only cloud solution in the market. So we have other cloud solutions like Cisco Meraki and Aruba Central. So there is a lot of competition for ExtremeCloud IQ. Compared to the other solutions, ExtremeCloud IQ needs to improve with respect to its user interface and current bugs.

You can use AP models 460 and 410, which are indoor and outdoor AP models for indoor-related, warehouse-related, or temperature-related mesh. These are industry-standard APs that you can use.

Overall, I rate ExtremeCloud IQ an eight out of ten.

We're using the latest version of the solution. It supports our Wi-Fi 6 highly compatible. And in wireless, it's a 22.11.

We're end-users.

It's working very well on our side. That's why we tell people that this solution is good. We've had a good experience with this. In our organization, there are traditional buildings that are from 1947. The width of the walls are approximately 2.5 feet and more, so it's quite difficult to penetrate the signals through those walls. In case of the Wi-Fi, that will be one of the challenges. However, we are seeing it's working very smoothly. 

I'd rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We sell the solution. We are an Extreme partner. I don't know to what level. We're Cisco through and through. About 70% of what leaves this company is Cisco and we're a $270 million company. However, we’re partners with Extreme too.

I’d rate the solution a seven out of ten.

If you're going to have a bake-off try Aerohive last because you won't want to take it out. Take this from someone who is about to sit the CCIE Route/Switch lab, just because it doesn't say Cisco doesn't mean it isn't top notch gear.

The cloud version of the controller is a little better supported than the on-premises version. Only select the onsite version if there are security concerns.

For any wireless network implementation, a wireless survey of the space is key to a successful deployment. As for Aerohive specifically, stay away from older B/G devices if you can keep them off your network, and keep the radio power as low as you can manage to avoid issues with surrounding wireless networks…especially in congested areas/cities.

When you are considering a move to Aerohive, ask if you can get a sample device to run on your network. I did this, played around with it for a while, and it helped tremendously.

I believe Aerohive is committed to being a leader in this space and that their APs for the enterprise campus are the best available. I would like to see port aggregation on the switches but have been told that's on the roadmap, and that's acceptable at this time. HiveManager make the whole process of configuration and management of the network so much easier. I'm a fan.

Everyone I’ve dealt with at Aerohive has been wonderful, down to David Coleman, the main trainer. I have taken a couple of their classes and that helped with the initial and then the advanced setup items. I’ve worked with Abby and a few others through orders and they have all been stellar.

Overall, we are definitely satisfied with this product. They are well ahead of what I want to see. Sometimes, when I think that a new feature might be nice, it's there already.

My advice for anybody who is looking at this product is that there may be a small barrier to getting started, but just jump over it and you will definitely be surprised by the simplicity of the whole product.

The autopilot version of Cloud IQ is coming, and it has a lot of artificial intelligence in it. It will handle jobs that the normal IT person does. You can just leave it alone, close the door and throw away the key.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

We integrated Aerohive into our Cisco-centric environment in 2008 and never looked back. Subsequently, when Aerohive offered other layer two devices, specifically switches, we opted to begin to upgrade our older Cisco access switches with Aerohive devices.
