Provides a lifetime warranty, is reliable, has good technical support, and includes security features
The stability is excellent. It comes with a lifetime warranty. Even if you're going through a difficult patch. If there is a failure in that scenario, it is very minor. We were never encountered that, but If it happens, it's probably due to a web party, such as a power fluctuation. Even our power supply includes a hardware replacement. As a result, there are no issues with the even power supply's lifetime warranty. In the general market, other competitor products, the power supply will not be covered, even though we are covering the power supply with a hardware replacement warranty. Which is where we have an advantage. Security features are included.

Solution supports extensive connectivity but faces occasional coverage challenges
Cisco Wireless WAN has room for improvement in WiFi coverage. Sometimes, their coverage is normally good, but at the same area where the access points are deployed, people face continuous disconnectivity issues. These kinds of issues come over time, and we need to do troubleshooting, but they get resolved. This is a performance-related issue, and I think they have to work on that.

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

Pros

"The stability is excellent, it comes with a lifetime warranty, and even our power supply includes a hardware replacement, which gives us an advantage over competitor products where the power supply is not covered."
"You can use this solution for enterprise companies ranging from five to 5,000 users, and it is very versatile because you get both a cloud version and an on-premises version, so you can use it for unified communication."
"The stability is excellent."
"The tool can work without distributor architecture or seller access points."
"When you go on the website, everything is clear and you don't have to ask questions."
"The performance of the solution is valuable."
"We see identity controls solutions so we make sure it's all part of the same management console, with the same authentication, using a multi-high profile defendable wireless system, access ports, and wireless access IDs where each access ID has different kinds of people, different kinds of networks, and the VLAN, and Cisco controllers are now the best in this field."
"Granularity of standardization and technical controls."
"The solution offers very good performance, especially for iPhones."
"Mobile anchoring and graphic user interface are helpful features."
"Whatever they have in this product is already the best in the market, and I recommend it for people who can afford it."
"If budget weren't an issue, I would highly recommend Cisco."
"We found the initial setup to be straightforward."
 

Cons

"I would like to see something for remote working."
"The price could be reduced."
"Alcatel-Lucent Teldat needs to reduce its price."
"The network management system is not great."
"The support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It can be complicated to configure the solution."
"The product could be improved by making installing the operating system on access points easier."
"If there's a problem, it's usually when Cisco pushes out updates. The users don't always push the updates to their computer, and it causes some issues. It's reliable as long as everyone is doing what they're supposed to."
"This is a very expensive solution but there are no additional costs."
"The pricing of the solution could always be better."
