We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This solution's most valuable feature is its short deployment time.""What I like best about ExtremeCloud IQ is its ease of use. Flexibility is another pro of ExtremeCloud IQ. I also find ExtremeCloud IQ feature-rich.""ExtremeCloud offers features that not a lot of other vendors do like their data storage and the ability to swap licenses.""The few times we have needed help, Aerohive has been there for us and I am confident that If I need them they will be there again.""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 HiveManager integration with the VPN Gateway is awesome.""It allows me to see APs and clients that are having issues, allowing for faster support response and less downtime.""I like ExtremeCloud IQ's unified single-pane-of-glass dashboard. It offers a lot of visibility of performance, and it's great for troubleshooting. You don't have to go to 55 different places. You can get the information you need with just a few clicks."

"The application control and vulnerability protection are the most valuable features.""With the IP address flag, I was able to see that I was being hacked. The moment there was an interaction between somebody on my network and that IP, the solution was able to flag it, and we were able to protect ourselves.""The most valuable features are the simplicity, transparency, and overall ease of management.""Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention is the market leader as far as security gateways and endpoint protection. Additionally, the threat database that is used is one of the best.""The initial setup was straightforward. It's quite easy. Deployment took one to two weeks.""I find the malware protection very handy.""The most valuable feature of Palo Alto Threat Prevention for our company is the next generation firewall.""I like the solution's interface."

Cons
"We'd like to have a cloud dashboard from which we can see all devices.""The dashboard and stability need to be improved.""The solution will show us that there are some issues, but when we try to find those issues, we can't see them.""The solution's performance needs to be enhanced because of a very high delay.""ExtremeCloud IQ’s user interface needs to be improved, and its current bugs need to be fixed.""They can improve just the onboarding process. More user information about the introduction to the product would be helpful. It would be good if they have a better user introduction to the new product because it is different than the prior version.""There can be an improvement by incorporating two-factor authentication or multi-factor authentication for security. Advanced network access control features and application control features should be added to manage applications. Many customers are interested in managing data, such as setting data quotas for individual users.""The managing of switches within this solution could be improved."

More ExtremeCloud IQ Cons →

"Sometimes when you want to group a set of ports, and communicate with Palo Alto, you cannot group TCP and UDP ports together. This needs to be adjusted.""The documentation needs to be improved. I need better information about how to configure it and what the best practices are.""We are attempting to improve the use of URL filtering beyond threat protection.""In Africa, the technical support is probably not as good as in Europe and the USA because it's a specific premium support, partner-enabled premium support and all of that. But it's really good, I don't really have any complaints, it's fairly good. I'll give them 80%.""The initial setup is complex.""Mission learning techniques should continue to expand and detect unknown threats on the fly.""The solution needs to improve its local technical support services. There is no premium support offered in our market.""Right now we are focusing on email. If Palo Alto can increase the features related to email filtering and the new malware, it would help us protect our systems."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • More ExtremeCloud IQ Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing and the licensing are pretty competitive at this stage. As a reseller, I would like to see the price come down a little bit so I can compete better against other firewalls because we do that all the time."
  • "It's not too expensive."
  • "It is an expensive solution and I would like to see a drop in price."
  • "If you want to have all of the good features then you have to pay extra for licensing."
  • "The pricing has improved with the newer generation of their Firewalls, but the price could always be lower."
  • "The pricing could be lower."
  • "Palo Alto Networks Threat Prevention could improve by having consistent pricing at system levels."
  • "The cost involves the price of the hardware, which is expensive. However, most of the Palo Alto solutions are expensive."
