Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, Broadcom and others in Network Management Applications."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."
"It excels in Wi-Fi and switch management, as well as other internal management aspects, offering speed and efficiency that surpass what other competitors provide."
"Its configuration and deployment are the most valuable."
"HiveManager is extremely easy to use for anyone with little network experience."
"Ability to assign zero trust policies from the user."
"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."
"The cloud management gives us the tools and reports that we need to monitor and troubleshoot the network."
"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."
"Ruckus Wireless is a reliable solution."
"One of the most valuable features I appreciate is auto channelization, facilitated by a proprietary product called ChannelFly."
"The solution has many innovative features."
"Analyzes real-time, in-depth network performance."
"It's very scalable."
"Unproblematic"
"I can manage the network through a cell phone, which is a plus from my side. I am also able to visualize the network. I can also check the quality of the signal for different clients that are currently connected and see whether the quality is excellent, moderate, or poor. Sometimes, I can even adjust the signal strength."
"Ruckus Wireless provides good coverage."
"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."
"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."
"The dashboard and stability need to be improved."
"Browser load time for the cloud is long and needs improvement."
"The licensing model could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"The solution will show us that there are some issues, but when we try to find those issues, we can't see them."
"The cost could be slightly improved. It's not on the low end, and it's not in the high end. It's in that middle area, which can be a deciding factor between someone going with this solution versus another one."
"They should work to make their licensing more affordable."
"Ruckus should have an option to migrate existing licenses from an old controller to a new purchase; presently, this is not possible."
"The cloud controller needs work. My big issue is that all APs can't set static IPs. Also, adding customers to your dashboard is not that easy at all. I wish I could pop out some reporting from the dashboards as well."
"The tool needs to incorporate training. Also, it needs to improve the range of coverage."
"They have so many products that there are so many different part numbers for the US and other countries. That means it's easy to make a mistake with the licensing. You have to have somebody knowledgeable on the other end with the licensing. If you make one mistake, it can be a $2,000 mistake."
"The price could be improved."
"The biggest adjustment improvement will come from a price adjustment because the price is quite high; it feels like premium pricing. I suggest shaving off 10 percent to 20 percent. That would help grow users and increase the number of clients."
