ExtremeControl Reviews

The main use cases for ExtremeControl among my customers are to authenticate the users here for the end systems in their companies and to manage authentication, authorization, and systems, and they are using it not only with the Extreme solutions but also with third-party products like Cisco, Aruba, and Huawei.

My customers have utilized ExtremeControl's feature of integrating with existing IT ecosystems, for example, by integrating with Microsoft Active Directory and Microsoft Network NPS.

The device authentication capabilities of ExtremeControl are helpful because we can customize parameters to integrate third-party solutions, not only our equipment such as Extreme Networks but also third-party switches and wireless controllers like Cisco and Aruba.

The most valuable features of ExtremeControl include third-party support, flexible policies, and the ability to easily customize some features.

It is easy to customize the solution.

The integrations are easy to implement with these systems, and we have documentation available, so there is no problem with integration.

The biggest benefits for my customers from ExtremeControl include the ability to integrate third-party devices, integration with user databases like Microsoft Active Directory or other directory software, and it is easy to maintain by customers.

I have already installed ExtremeControl for some of my clients. My clients use ExtremeControl for BYOD, device authentication, network security and control, and network automation.

Integrating ExtremeControl with ExtremeConnect provides an additional layer of security and control over what devices are onboarding to the network, granting full visibility. ExtremeControl can also integrate with third-party devices, allowing use with any other network existing hardware on the same site. This enhances network security and provides seamless mobility, making the automation of implementation easy.

The product's most valuable feature is its reliability. It consistently performs well without requiring frequent maintenance or troubleshooting.

One improvement could be better clarification, namely that the system only works optimally with all components purchased together.

ExtremeControl is deployed in an extensive network, and it is used to manage logins from computers and users. We have about 70,000 users at all levels.

I haven't worked with ExtremeControl personally, but my group has been working with it since 2018. I'm a product manager.

We don't like ExtremeControl on-premises because it's missing most features. There is information on migrating most of the cloud system's features, but there isn't enough development for the on-premises controller. In addition, the on-premises controller is very ugly.

We mainly use this solution for hospitality for some hotels.

We use ExtremeControl for network switching management.

The solution is easy to use.

I'm a pre-sales engineer, working at Egypt's largest university. I have experience with firewalls such as FortiManager from Fortinet, Sophos XG and NG, Cisco ASA and Palo Alto Firewall. In addition, I'm involved with network security, monitoring software and as a port analyzer and port manager, and I also have experience with Extreme Networks Management software and Network Access Control solutions.

We've implemented ExtremeControl at our university. It enables us to control all access points, firewalls, and switches. Using Extreme Network Access Control provides availability on VNN to import users for authenticated access for individuals at the University, including staff, students, and others. 

Our agents can see most of the topics being searched on the university internet. The traffic is analyzed. In Egypt, internet access is expensive so we try to use sites that can consume our traffic efficiently. Like everybody, we don't want it wasted on personal use, rather for university use only.
