We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is an overall stable solution.""This solution has helped our organization by allowing us to have visibility. We deal with cybersecurity, so visibility is very important."

More Broadcom Network Flow Analysis Pros →

"Extreme is transitioning to 802.11ax facilities running the 2G and the 5G cloud, allowing for higher density in education use cases, and ExtremeCloud IQ provides you with novel ways to manage everything. In the old days, you used to have a controller on-site for your access points, but everything is easier now.""It is more cost effective and gives more flexibility.""ExtremeCloud IQ is integrated with the Ekahau tool so that you can log in to the ExtremeCloud IQ portal, upload the cloud plans, draw all the interiors, and plan the APs with the real-time AP position.""It allows me to see APs and clients that are having issues, allowing for faster support response and less downtime.""The cloud management gives us the tools and reports that we need to monitor and troubleshoot the network.""The cloud-based controller through HiveManager is its most valuable feature. I can manage and configure changes to my access points from anywhere.""The cloud-based management interface allows us to fully manage all our wireless radios, ensuring consistency and ease of access.""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)."

Cons
"Currently, Broadcom Network Flow Analysis does not support high-availability solutions, making it an area that needs improvement.""I would like to see more security features, like a lost protection package."

More Broadcom Network Flow Analysis Cons →

"Browser load time for the cloud is long and needs improvement.""The managing of switches within this solution could be improved.""Lacks cyber asset tracking.""ExtremeCloud should invest in an SD-WAN solution or integration with SD-WAN.""We'd like to have a cloud dashboard from which we can see all devices.""Need port aggregation on the 2384 switches to take full advantage of ac on the APs. I understand that is on their product road map.""The licensing model could be improved.""The solution's performance needs to be enhanced because of a very high delay."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "If you make a DX NetOps-based purchase and the complete suite of products that fall under DX NetOps from Broadcom, then you get Network Flow Analysis along with DX NetOps Performance Management and DX Spectrum."

  • "Although the pricing is a bit high, I consider Aerohive to be well worth the money."
  • "Buy near the end of Q4 in order to get a deal."
  • "Bring the cost down."
  • "I would advise that you be sure to compare apples with apples. Many customers just look at the price per AP and licences, and compare that against other solutions. But, they do not look at the complete picture such as: TCO - how much the equipment will cost you over, say, seven years? Will the customer need to change complete infrastructure when they want to buy the newest hardware? Does support include a lifetime warranty and RMA?"
  • "For example, if you compare Aruba vs Aerohive, you need to check which licences from Aruba you need to match the functionality of Aerohive (usually you need at least three types of licences and a controller with redundancy). The same goes with Cisco, where you need buy additional licences for central management, firewall, spectral analysis, WIPS, PPSK, etc. Aerohive has a very simple model - one licence for all the functionalities - and you can believe that there are many. One licence makes it easy to maintain, scale, renew and you can plan your costs 10 years in advance."
  • "Start small and grow big. You can choose the basic Aerohive Connect free subscription solution and, later, if needed (in terms of functionality) you can upgrade to Aerohive Select."
  • "There are probably cheaper solutions but we invest for stability and performance for the longer haul."
  • "I did a multi-year license. It was a three-year license. It compares well with others in terms of the price. It is about a hundred dollars per year on a three-year scale."
