We have been pleased with the product features, reliability, and their technical support.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The dashboards are great and the user interface is quite intuitive."

"What our customers like the most is that this device is so rugged. It has very good performance and throughput. Its console is very easy to use and has many features, which makes it different from its competitors. Cloud IQ has all the features built into the console, whereas other solutions require you to integrate multiple solutions with their consoles. You don't need to add anything extra with Cloud IQ. With this single solution, you can do almost everything."

"Its configuration and deployment are the most valuable."

"The support organization behind this product is extremely professional."

"The cloud-based controller through HiveManager is its most valuable feature. I can manage and configure changes to my access points from anywhere."

"What's most valuable for me in ExtremeCloud IQ is easy management. It also has centralized administration, so you don't have to go to the customer site to program it. It can be programmed remotely."

"Everything can be seen from the dashboard."

"The most valuable feature is the centralized management capability."

More ExtremeCloud IQ pros

"All of the interfacing is very good."

"The most beneficial thing about Ubiquiti is that it is simple to deploy."

"The pricing is very competitive and the feature sets are very good. It compares well against more expensive options."

"The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."

"Great management interface."

"The solution is very easy to install."

"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."

"would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is very scalable."

Cons

"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."

"The licensing model could be improved."

"The managing of switches within this solution could be improved."

"Having a wizard for customers who are just starting might be helpful."

"From our perspective, we would love to see Aerohive provide faster feature enhancement in their Virtual Appliance to match the features with the cloud solution more quickly."

"ExtremeCloud should invest in an SD-WAN solution or integration with SD-WAN."

"They can improve just the onboarding process. More user information about the introduction to the product would be helpful. It would be good if they have a better user introduction to the new product because it is different than the prior version."

"I would like to see more security features such as NAC integrated to the solution. This would allow customers to be able to control all other users under one dashboard."

More ExtremeCloud IQ cons

"The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support."

"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."

"The product’s bandwidth could be better."

"The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."

"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."

"The room for improvement is in the controller levels."

"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."

"The solution should improve stability."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Bring the cost down."

"Buy near the end of Q4 in order to get a deal."

"It is easy for customers to use this product because they are able to interchange the license depending on their usage rather than having to buy individual licenses for each asset."

"ExtremeCloud IQ's pricing is medium, but its support contract costs more."

"Customers need to pay a yearly licensing fee for ExtremeCloud IQ, which is a little bit expensive."

"It is costly as compared to Meraki, Aruba, Juniper, and Cisco. Cloud IQ is an enterprise solution, whereas Meraki is specifically a single solution."

"Although the pricing is a bit high, I consider Aerohive to be well worth the money."

"Start small and grow big. You can choose the basic Aerohive Connect free subscription solution and, later, if needed (in terms of functionality) you can upgrade to Aerohive Select."

More ExtremeCloud IQ pricing and cost advice

"It is a stand-alone price."

"Ubiquiti has a good price compared to the other ones."

"The tool is affordable."

"The tool's price is very friendly."

"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"It’s an expensive product but has all the essential qualities and functionality."

"Ubiquiti WLAN is cheap. It can work without licensing."

"Ubiquiti WLAN’s price is higher than other competitors."
