A highly scalable solution empowered with an AI-driven network management system

I use the solution to pull videos from buses in a bus terminus The bus drivers were not declaring ticket sales done on the bus. The solution helps us to know exactly how many tickets they've sold and how much money they've collected. It doesn't allow the drivers to steal money from the bus…

An on-premises solution that allows users to do some configuration without much exposure to the cloud platform

ExtremeWireless offers profiles, policies, and tags. The entire architecture is divided into multiple sections like tags, policies, and profiles. If I have two sites, and one site needs to be configured with different SSIDs and radio settings, it's completely different compared to the site. It's not a global configuration, and you can individually divide the sites with the profiles, policies and tags to assign the configurations to the tags of the respective sites. When doing the upgrades, you can do the site-based or location-based things. So that's a very cool feature in ExtremeWireless, which has been running for a long time. Recently, Cisco 9800 models have been offering the same kind of features.

An industry-leading security and wireless solution packaged in one box

We make our customers SonicWall clients. We have a solution package: If you have a contract to network with us, we will deliver SonicWall firewalls, access points, VPN clients, and all the other equipment with the SonicWall solution. We have been selling this solution for the past 30 years. We had a customer three months ago struggling with a Fortinet solution. We convinced them that the Fortinet solution would not work perfectly during renewal. We made a bet and delivered SonicWall equipment for free for one week, and if they had no more issues, they would buy it. That's precisely what happened. The customer ended up purchasing an $80,000 SonicWall solution. The SonicWall SonicWave Access Points are a good product compared to Cisco, Sophos, and Fortinet. In Brazil, Ruckus is taking market share in some key areas, such as hotels and hospitals. They are into big solutions with thousands of access points. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."

"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."

"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."

"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."

"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."

"The solution is stable."

"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pros

"ExtremeWireless provides us with enterprise-level authentication methods at an excellent cost. It supports all the latest authentication methods. Another advantage is the built-in DHCP server. We don't need third-party DHCP servers to get the IPF."

"In terms of the most valuable features, I like the integration with the fabric. The network fabric completely integrates with wireless as well."

"ExtremeWireless has good performance."

"The security is very good."

"It provides seamless connectivity if you move around."

"I like Cloud IQ, ExtremeWireless' cloud controller and analytics platform. It's full of information, easy to use, and provides excellent visibility into my network."

"ExtremeWireless offers profiles, policies, and tags."

"The technical support from Extreme Networks is perfect."

More ExtremeWireless pros

"The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to provide cloud access to configure and manage devices."

"A good management tool that can be managed through the cloud or firewall."

"Unlike the Cisco solution that needs a dedicated wireless controller outside of a firewall, SonicWall has everything in one box. Fortinet is close to it."

Cons

"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."

"The solution is expensive."

"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."

"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."

"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."

"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."

"The price could be better."

"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points cons

"The troubleshooting feature for the cloud version is challenging."

"They could provide different product models. Additionally, there could be a feature to manage devices."

"The user interface of ExtremeWireless could be better. It is not user-friendly."

"It is a subscription model, so it is maybe a bit pricey."

"The ExtremeWireless WiNG Access Point on-premise is not as good as the cloud and many of my customers are switching. It is easier for my clients to manage everything from the cloud. I currently use a model of the controller that does not support any cloud functionality."

"The onsite controllers are not as good as the cloud controller. I would also like ExtremeWireless to add web filtering on the access point. This feature is available from other vendors but not ExtremeWireless."

"The main area for improvement is the company's local visibility."

"The cost is a little high."

More ExtremeWireless cons

"We have a lot of overlapping wireless networks with a lot of cheap equipment that does not run on any rules or regulations. The best way to improve the wireless network, like in SonicWaves, is to defeat these networks by isolating, preventing them, or overcoming their wireless signal. We try to do that, but I live near an airport, and the AirPortRadar glitches my wireless network every nine seconds."

"Integrating with the firewall and management console was a little complex."

"The product's pricing is high and could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."

"The pricing is fair."

"The pricing is too high."

"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."

"We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."

"Juniper Wireless AP's price is a little more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."

"I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."

"The pricing is something Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) can work on. The pricing is very high compared to the competition."

"The solution has a yearly subscription, and we have to pay additional costs for technical support."

"The purchase of 350 access points cost approximately $250,000 USD."

"There are both paid and free licenses of the cloud environment, with only basic functionality in the free version."

"ExtremeWireless is subscription-based for both cloud and on-prem solutions, and it's quite expensive."

"I rate the price of Extreme Wireless a three out of five."

"Our access points device is at its end of life. I can buy one more and then I must buy a new device, but if it is a new device it will not support the old virtual appliance. I would need to upgrade our virtual appliance to the next version or build a new virtual appliance with new devices, and it's not good for us. The overall licensing subscription could be better."

"Extreme isn't the most expensive, but it's not a low-cost solution, and because there are no big volumes, you don't receive significant discounts, making the final price higher."

"The price of the solution overall is expensive. Additionally, the controller and license are expensive. We pay for an annual subscription."

More ExtremeWireless pricing and cost advice

"The pricing of the SonicWave Access Points solution is different in the US and Brazil. In the US, the solution is priced more competitively than other vendors. In Brazil, the exchange rate is a problem. To address this, SonicWall managers in Brazil are running several sales promotions and improving the price of new units."

"The platform offers yearly licenses."
