We performed a comparison between Cisco Prime and ExtremeCloud IQ based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Management Applications solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution provides data that allows us to time travel through logs and perform remote operations or troubleshooting."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Prime is the heat map."
"We use the solution to control the physical service station that is part of the SCADA network. We connect and control them remotely."
"It helps us manage and monitor analytics and fix issues."
"The hardware Cisco provides is excellent. It's a well-made product."
"The technical support team is very good."
"The interfaces are a valuable feature."
"This solution's most valuable feature is its short deployment time."
"Ability to assign zero trust policies from the user."
"ExtremeCloud IQ is an intuitive platform. The tool's ability to streamline network operations depends on the end customer. Sometimes it's quicker, and sometimes it takes much longer. It helps me to address network problems."
"The HiveManager integration with the VPN Gateway is awesome."
"The support organization behind this product is extremely professional."
"ExtremeCloud IQ is a complete package with the pilot and the co-pilot feature that gives me full visibility of the network."
"Its configuration and deployment are the most valuable."
"It's extremely easy to deploy. Even our access points are behind the net, not using real, public IP. We can easily add to the cloud. For deployment, we just need to let the access point take the DSCP from IP and then, even if it's not a requirement, we can see the serial number from the access points and add the serial number to the cloud directly."
"I want the tool to improve data visibility."
"Lacking in integration with a SIEM tool."
"The product needs to improve its stability."
"If you look at some of the wireless site-survey tools that are available in the commercial space, Cisco should include similar solutions, which would help our on-plant engineers when they're doing a site survey."
"The product's pricing can be cheaper."
"The product is expensive compared to other vendors in the market."
"I would rate the scalability of Cisco Prime a six out of ten. To scale up from a hundred to a thousand devices, the platform needs to be rebuilt logically. This process might require a downtime window and may involve changing the hardware or upgrading to a larger appliance."
"Cisco Prime's initial setup is complex."
"The Virtual Appliance crashed once while doing an upgrade. The good thing here is, even if the management system fails, all our networks and features still remain 100% stable and working."
"For me, the only issue is the potential delay in the tool statistics updating in real time after making changes."
"Having a wizard for customers who are just starting might be helpful."
"ExtremeCloud IQ’s user interface needs to be improved, and its current bugs need to be fixed."
"Lacks cyber asset tracking."
"I know a school district, a big school district of mine, ripped out Extreme due to inefficiencies. It was the guest network that can be a struggle. They tried to differentiate between their primary network, and then offer a secondary."
"Certain features only exist or work in certain versions."
"The solution will show us that there are some issues, but when we try to find those issues, we can't see them."
