Find out what your peers are saying about Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Ruckus, Cisco and others in Wireless LAN.
There are significant time savings, around thirty to forty percent, due to minimal disconnections.
There is no need to buy additional controllers for managing access points.
I managed to support and deploy ExtremeCloud IQ and handle network management without requiring external staffing, thus saving on external hiring costs.
I only needed support once or twice for a replacement, and it was handled smoothly without any difficulty.
I would rate their technical support nine out of ten.
Support for Aruba Wireless is good, but the skill set of the support engineers and the documentation are not as robust as Cisco.
GTAC receives a score of ten out of ten.
I experienced effective help mainly remotely, though for some issues, a technical person had to assist on-site.
The solution is scalable, as multiple sites connect seamlessly.
It is easy to adapt and very scalable.
I have been using the product for the last nine years without facing any issues post-installation.
Aruba Wireless is stable.
I don't remember it going down during the years it existed.
It requires some time to update, which affects real-time management.
The product should be more affordable, especially the cloud and console for the Aruba product as it is currently very expensive.
Zero-touch provisioning is needed, and although a cloud version is available, like Aruba Central, easier provisioning and configuration would be beneficial in the future.
While the technical specifications are satisfactory, the access points are expensive.
Improving documentation with more detailed videos and resources would be beneficial.
This integration aids in resolving problems and issues found in the network and enhances support with the GTAC team of Extreme Networks.
It is very high compared to other products.
However, it's approximately five to ten percent more expensive than Cisco.
The initial prices were more affordable compared to the current high prices.
The licensing was a challenge due to budget constraints, and I used ExtremeCloud IQ without a license for a period.
It has many features and is integrated with Azure AD and multiple active directories, making authentication easy.
The analytics feature is helpful for network performance and user behavior, providing cellular Wi-Fi visibility with insight.
I am very satisfied with the roaming feature, as it ensures connectivity when moving from one location to another.
For networking and access points, it acts as a controller in a cloud environment, eliminating the need for an appliance controller or wireless LAN controller, thus saving on investment and reducing TCO costs.
The automation and information provided by ExtremeCloud IQ, such as connection status and logs, were very beneficial.
