We performed a comparison between Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista 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."I really like Visual RAF. I use that a lot and then I use the up and down status reports because it'll send me emails and text messages when access points go up or down. That way, I'm aware of what's going on."
"Network management solution that's very stable and scalable. It has a straightforward installation, fast technical support, and multiple features such as reporting, network health analysis, etc."
"Being able to see the health of the network is most valuable. It is very strong in terms of stability and scalability. Their technical support is also good."
"It is a good investment for features."
"The reports are good."
"The most valuable feature of Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista is the monitoring of wired and wireless equipment."
"It allows me to see APs and clients that are having issues, allowing for faster support response and less downtime."
"The support organization behind this product is extremely professional."
"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."
"Everything can be seen from the dashboard."
"Integrated Firewall in every AP (with DPI inspection) is a killer feature and it is included already in the price of licence (with others, this feature is an add-on licence)."
"ExtremeCloud IQ is a complete package with the pilot and the co-pilot feature that gives me full visibility of the network."
"Our transaction polling is now way more secure."
"The tech who handles Extreme IQ tells me it's easy to use and learn. He felt like it was pretty intuitive. It comes with solid training materials. He also has talked about the security features that give you as much or as little control as you want."
"They should add more security features."
"The location of the WiFi connection should be available to all users."
"Adding a reliable and proper heatmap for the access points would make this solution better."
"Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista could improve by adding more cybersecurity features."
"I would like to see a little better reporting, not reporting features, the report maker to be a little better."
"It needs to be infused with more artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"Pricing could be improved. It could be lower."
"The certification costs from suppliers are getting out of control, and it's not just Extreme. We have the same problem with Cisco and Huawei."
"The dashboard and stability need to be improved."
"Integrating the network access control solution can be complex, as it essentially combines two separate products."
"The solution will show us that there are some issues, but when we try to find those issues, we can't see them."
"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."
"The solution's performance needs to be enhanced because of a very high delay."
"Having a wizard for customers who are just starting might be helpful."
