We performed a comparison between Cisco Wireless and ExtremeCloud IQ based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about HPE Aruba Networking, Cisco, Ruckus and others in Wireless LAN."The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network. Additionally, when there is an update on the APs they are able to reboot quickly reducing downtime. Other solutions have a longer downtime when updates are done."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"Cisco Wireless is highly stable."
"Device profiling allows us to have different policies applied by ISE to wireless clients."
"The support offered by Cisco is excellent. They are very responsive and knowledgeable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Its stability is most valuable."
"Cisco Wireless products are easy to use."
"Wireless access has enabled users to be mobile and as a result, more productive."
"We are using Cisco access point 2802, and they are very reliable."
"What's most valuable for me in ExtremeCloud IQ is easy management. It also has centralized administration, so you don't have to go to the customer site to program it. It can be programmed remotely."
"ExtremeCloud IQ is an intuitive platform. The tool's ability to streamline network operations depends on the end customer. Sometimes it's quicker, and sometimes it takes much longer. It helps me to address network problems."
"The cloud-based controller through HiveManager is its most valuable feature. I can manage and configure changes to my access points from anywhere."
"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."
"It is more cost effective and gives more flexibility."
"The cloud management gives us the tools and reports that we need to monitor and troubleshoot the network."
"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."
"The technical support for this solution is good."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"The solution is expensive."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The price could be better."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The web interface for Cisco controllers could be better. It could be more user-friendly. Sometimes I have to remember how to access some functionalities or how to enable or execute some functions. If it were more user-friendly it would save time."
"The interface could be better."
"The stability could improve, there are some issues. We were told the version of the software we are using on all of the controllers is best for Cisco IOS, but we might need to update our software, this might fix the stability issues we are experiencing."
"It's very scalable, but when you shift gears sometimes, you have to do more work than people anticipate."
"It's expensive."
"The main concern is the length and overlapping. We have to put on four to six access points on the same floor, and we face the issue of overlapping areas. If Cisco can extend the range of their indoor APs, we would need to install just one or two access points, and it would eliminate the problem of the overlapping area."
"The pricing of Brazil is very expensive. When you look at other options, they are much cheaper."
"They should introduce zero interference capabilities."
"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."
"We'd like to have a cloud dashboard from which we can see all devices."
"An area for improvement in ExtremeCloud IQ is its technical support. Support could be better, especially when you need help concerning ExtremeCloud IQ and WinG."
"Their firewall configuration gets funky and it can be difficult to understand."
"Lacks cyber asset tracking."
"Browser load time for the cloud is long and needs improvement."
"A mobile app would be awesome."
"Its price could be lower. It is a simplified solution, but it has price challenges. It is costly as compared to other solutions. It has almost everything. The only thing is that MAC is not possible on the cloud, and it has to be on-premises."
