ExtremeCloud IQ Scalability

Owner at Sebitu
The scalability of the system is exceptionally high, and it is well-optimized for large-scale deployments. It's capable of supporting thousands of access points, even in challenging environments like stadiums with a high density of users. Managing access points in close proximity is usually difficult due to interference issues, but the system handles this admirably by adjusting settings and reducing interference. Even for smaller-scale applications, such as managing ten access points with ten users, it proves effective. I would rate it eight out of ten.
The solution is highly scalable, and there are no restrictions on the number of APs you can use. It's a matter of licensing and how many units you are willing to deploy.
We have installed 300+ APs on our largest site without encountering any performance issues or other challenges.
View full review »ExtremeCloud IQ is a highly scalable solution because it's a cloud-based solution, and we don't have a restriction on how many APs we can connect to the cloud. Whenever you have an AP, just purchase your licenses, and connect to the cloud. We don't have any limitations in terms of scalability. Approximately 2000 plus users are currently using the solution in our organization. ExtremeCloud IQ is currently being used 24/7 and to its maximum potential in our organization.
I rate ExtremeCloud IQ ten out of ten for scalability.

ExtremeCloud IQ is very scalable. It's the most scalable solution I know. It may have the same level of scalability as Mist AI from Juniper and Aerohive from Ruckus Wireless.
View full review »The solution can scale. It's not a problem. If we need to add access points, we just add them. We have about 2,500 people on the solution.
View full review »We have had no issues with scalability. The WIFI planning tool is a great asset for us. We evaluate the coverage and then add APs as needed to cover dead spots or add new areas of coverage.
View full review »Extreme Wireless scales easily. We are already running almost 6,000 access points at the university.

It's a little bit more comfortable for these medium size businesses.
View full review »We were able to quickly configure and deploy statewide. We installed on average six new units each week for the last year. I recently installed 40 units in one week to a new campus without any difficulty.

It's scalable. You can get the serial number and enter from the Extreme portals. We get serial numbers from the product, enter it in the website, and create zones, buildings, areas.

View full review »We have not encountered any scalability issues. We added an AP to a new building in a few minutes; had a staffer plug in the AP and it appeared in our manager and received our configuration.

I rate the tool's scalability an eight out of ten.
View full review »None at all. Aerohive is very scalable due to its pricing and licensing model. It gives the consumer the flexibility to expand their wireless network as and when funding is available. It is great to just be able to buy a new AP, plug it in and off you go!!
View full review »None so far.
View full review »We have not had any issues with scalability. As we transitioned to Aerohive, we still had other access points in use, from another manufacturer. We've never had any trouble with increased use, or multiple devices.
View full review »We had no issues with scalability and, in fact, enlarging the environment was extremely simple.

ExtremeCloud IQ is very scalable.
As we were using it for testing purposes in our company, we had two or three people who were using this solution.
I am responsible for configuring and designing all the networking.
I am the Solutions Architect, and I conduct the implementation as well.
I did not encounter any issues with scalability.

We have not encountered any scalability issues; nice to add devices with just a serial number and have them pick up the entire policy. HiveManager works well for monitoring, maintenance, and scaling.

Scalability is simple. You just plug in a new AP and push code. As long as you have a PoE switch you can put an AP up to 100m away without issue.

Senior Pre-sales consultant at Businesscom BV
This is a very scalable product. It works fine with two or three access points, but also in an environment where you have hundreds or even thousands of them.
View full review »No, we have many AP's and 100 branch routers. The hivemanager design makes it easy to add a new piece of hardware and just send an update with the existing policy to get it configured.
View full review »Not really. We simply had to buy a more powerful Hive Manager appliance when we went over the 1000 AP mark, but other than that, this product scales very easily.
View full review »The main reason why a lot of customers choose this solution is because of how scalable it is. You can scale as you grow by just adding more products.
View full review »We have never hit a ceiling, although I feel confident we would have if a controller-based solution had been deployed.
View full review »We've had no issues with scalability.
View full review »So far no issues have come up with scalability. we have installed these in around 40 nursing homes and they are working great.
View full review »We have not encountered any issues related to scalability of the Aerohive access points.
View full review »The adapters have scaled to meet the needs of our students without issues. Which means that I didn't encounter any issues with scalability.
View full review »Had some client issues, but nothing with the Aerohive equipment.
View full review »We've had no issues scaling it.
View full review »We only use a couple of these in the office so we cannot comment on scale at this point.
View full review »Scalability is not a problem at all. At some places we have “high density mesh” and L2 roaming along with automatic channel distribution is working very well.
View full review »No issues. In high traffic areas, or in poor coverage areas, we've simply added APs and they're onboard right away. There are a couple of large rooms that have had an AP added due to the 100 client limit.

It is very much scalable. It supports more than 100K access points in one console.
View full review »We only expand the network once until now, but it was as simple as the initial deployment. Add devices to HiveManager and push config.
View full review »We had to tweak some power for some of our APs so they would not pick up the access points from our lower floors after we launched. After tweaking that we didnt have any issues scaling.
