Unified licensing and AI-driven control have simplified multi-site management and boosted automation
There is a little bit of delay for the analytics in ExtremeCloud IQ, but it is acceptable. The response time in ExtremeCloud IQ is a little slow. The system response time is slow, and the updates on the system, such as the updates for the analytics or for the location-based services, are slow. For example, if I want to update the location-based solution, it takes about one minute to update my location. This is too much time. It's not an accurate location over one minute. They should enhance the response of the system part of location-based services, such as Extreme LPS or Extreme Location Essentials. This needs a huge improvement for the latency and for the updates.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of ExtremeAnalytics is wireless intrusion prevention."
"The initial setup of ExtremeAnalytics is straightforward and user-friendly."
"The application response latency is valuable and suitable for troubleshooting."
"The solution's scalability is a ten out of ten."
"Aerohive is the best vendor yet and their support is great."
"Another valuable feature is the automation of Wi-Fi configurations, which allows the wireless network to auto-reconfigure in case of problems."
"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."
"HiveManager is incredibly useful for managing APs and switches from one cloud interface."
"Customer service is excellent."
"The deployment made my life very easy."
"The HiveManager integration with the VPN Gateway is awesome."
"The technical support for this solution is good."
 

Cons

"There are issues with cloud distribution of the servers, and it could be faster."
"The solution's stability needs to be improved."
"ExtremeAnalytics could improve application control. The URL filtering is not working properly. We have had issues with the reports and heat maps not working as expected. We have been receiving download errors when attempting to retrieve the heat maps and reports."
"The PoE switches we purchased were/are very difficult to configure."
"Browser load time for the cloud is long and needs improvement."
"I think their bandwidth steering could use some tweaking, in a high density deployment with a lot of 2.4Ghz only clients it causes problems and we had to turn it off in those areas."
"The firewall inside the AP is a little limited in what it can do."
"When we installed the latest firmware versions on these APs, sometimes we encountered major or minor bugs that would force us to roll back until an appropriate patch was released."
"Aerohive configuration management can be little hard to understand for someone who has never worked with it."
"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."
"I would love to see a more granular web filter."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is an eight out of ten."
"The price of the solution is approximately $100 to $120 and is paid annually."
"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."
"Buy near the end of Q4 in order to get a deal."
"It is easy for customers to use this product because they are able to interchange the license depending on their usage rather than having to buy individual licenses for each asset."
"Customers need to pay a yearly licensing fee for ExtremeCloud IQ, which is a little bit expensive."
"Bring the cost down."
"There are probably cheaper solutions but we invest for stability and performance for the longer haul."
"This solution offers annual licensing that is middle of the range in terms of cost."
"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."
