It just gives you the ability to use it around the office without being tied up to an actual physical connection.
The initial setup is pretty straightforward.
I've found the solution to be very reliable.
The solution can scale.
Technical support is helpful.
The pricing is pretty reasonable.

The granularity of standardization and technical controls would be the big one in terms of valuable features. You can control everything, every technology within the wireless arena. It contrasts with Meraki which is very much macro-driven so you don't have the visibility of the complete engine. From an engineering and consultant perspective, I want full control. The Cisco WLC solution supplies that in the form they have at the moment, but I know that they changed the UI a couple of weeks ago. I haven't seen it but as it exists at the moment I'm on 8.5 or 8.6 of the code up, but they're using the code that they use on the WLCs and not what would be the new version, which I believe is different.

It’s stable.
All the hardware, the signal, the communication between access points or switches, et cetera, is good. The devices are all of good quality.
The switches, in particular, are great. I don't remember the model, however, there is a line of Catalyst switches from Cisco - the industrial switches with 24 ports or 48 ports and a POA feature with a fiber optic port - that are great.
The quality of service is excellent.
The most valuable features are CleanAir, Rogue Detection, and the auto-calculation of RF.

The solution offers very good performance, for all devices.
Another bonus is that it's really tightly integrated with Apple devices, and makes sure that no one phone or no one WiFi device can hog all of the wireless spectrum. The spectrum-sharing algorithms are proven in independent testing to be the best. Also, roaming is quick and excellent. The security capabilities are incredible, and it offers excellent secure access for guests as well.
The solution is stable and reliable.
It scales well.
We found the initial setup to be straightforward.
The support has proven itself to be helpful.

I have seen that many people are using a lot of the features directly available on the wireless controller. Recently, the most valuable and in-demand feature that users are enjoying is WiFi 6 support on the access points. The other good thing about Cisco Wireless LAN is how easily it provides clean access to the WiFi network.
The solution's most valuable feature is its user-friendly interface. For now, my company is testing the tool on Cisco's IoT solutions. The tool is very simple to use.

Cisco wireless is stable, easy to use, and simple to configure. They have an outstanding GUI.
View full review »I like that it has integrated the cost of our network access. We see identity controls solutions so we make sure it's all part of the same management console. We have the same console and the same authentication, and we use a multi-high profile defendable wireless system, access ports, and wireless access IDs. So each access ID has different kinds of people, different kinds of networks, the VLAN. Cisco controllers are now the best in this field. We end segregation on the Wi-Fi side based on the access ID.

It runs well, without issue.
Users can easily move around the office and stay connected.

It's a small feature, but Cisco allows me to see access points with blinking lights. This shows me which access point is which.
For example, sometimes we have more than 100 access points, and the company that did the set up unfortunately didn't document it well, so that can be a problem.
The dashboard is wonderful. It's very user friendly.

Valuable features for me would be the friendly GUI. It's not a feature as such but it's the first thing I would point out because troubleshooting is very easy on it. I can literally point down to a single host, find roughly where he's located and examine the strength of his connectivity. Also, I find the mobile anchoring to be handy although compared to the newer solutions it's a little old.

Let's say you are in Mauritius right now and that you have a company here. You have set up Cisco Wireless WAN in the company, and you are using your laptop and are connected to the Wi-Fi. For instance, if you go abroad to another branch of the same company and you use your laptop there, your device will still be connected to the Wi-Fi in your office in Mauritius. You don't need to type in the password again.
It's very secure.
I also like that now you can add a cellular connection to the Cisco router. So, if your operator is down, you can now still have one connection in the office with the cellular module.

1.One of the reasons we selected this WWAN modem is the underlying support for all the high speed modules and speed which is higher than 100Mbps.
2.Can be used to easily setup a high speed ISP or mobile network
3.Another deciding factor was the support for large number of devices that can interoperate easily with Cisco WWAN card
4. Failover support. There is a secondary link which can take over in case the primary goes down.
5.It provides transparent handoff support for devices which are using older technologies.
6.Provides higher bandwidth to support high definition video calls.
