We performed a comparison between ExtremeCloud IQ and OpenText Network Node Manager i based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Management Applications solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"HiveManager is incredibly useful for managing APs and switches from one cloud interface."
"Our transaction polling is now way more secure."
"The dashboards are great and the user interface is quite intuitive."
"The cloud-based controller through HiveManager is its most valuable feature. I can manage and configure changes to my access points from anywhere."
"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."
"What our customers like the most is that this device is so rugged. It has very good performance and throughput. Its console is very easy to use and has many features, which makes it different from its competitors. Cloud IQ has all the features built into the console, whereas other solutions require you to integrate multiple solutions with their consoles. You don't need to add anything extra with Cloud IQ. With this single solution, you can do almost everything."
"The Client 360 feature provides a comprehensive view of your clients and their activities, including the devices they use. Additionally, a feature called Network 360 offers a 360-degree view of the network, like data usage (in GB), the status of ports and AP, and other details. You can drill down on granular-level drills to gain insights into specific applications and usage patterns like application level and fee, where your data is being wasted or what your clients are doing with the Internet data, what kind of applications they are using, etc."
"It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks."
"The best feature is the solution's entire credibility with all vendors."
"We do not have any issues stability-wise."
"It is stable for fault and availability."
"It is a scalable product."
"Topology creation is the most valuable feature."
"Our monitoring and network teams of less than 100 people use this solution. The availability and fault monitoring are good."
"It's quite a mature solution."
"The solution will show us that there are some issues, but when we try to find those issues, we can't see them."
"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."
"From our perspective, we would love to see Aerohive provide faster feature enhancement in their Virtual Appliance to match the features with the cloud solution more quickly."
"Having a wizard for customers who are just starting might be helpful."
"Pricing is a bit expensive."
"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."
"I know a school district, a big school district of mine, ripped out Extreme due to inefficiencies. It was the guest network that can be a struggle. They tried to differentiate between their primary network, and then offer a secondary."
"The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized"
"Only to improve the GUI."
"The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement."
"Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive."
"When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained."
"The way the solution currently works means I'm not able to customize my own reports."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."
