In the old days, you used to have a controller on-site for your access points, but everything is easier now."
"ExtremeCloud offers features that not a lot of other vendors do like their data storage and the ability to swap licenses."

"App and firewall security at the AP."
"Everything can be seen from the dashboard."
"Its configuration and deployment are the most valuable."
"The cloud-based management interface allows us to fully manage all our wireless radios, ensuring consistency and ease of access."
"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 ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good availability, and it is much cheaper."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."

"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."
"A room for improvement in ExtremeCloud IQ is roaming. My team is facing roaming issues with the solution, particularly when using VoIP over WiFi. For example, VoIP sometimes breaks when you walk around the customer site. In terms of what I'd like to see in the next release of the solution, right now, the inventory for ExtremeCloud IQ is awful. There's no stock, and you must wait a year and a half for new stocks. It's awful."
"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."
"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."
"A mobile app would be awesome."
"Having a wizard for customers who are just starting might be helpful."
"Certain features only exist or work in certain versions."
"Their firewall configuration gets funky and it can be difficult to understand."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."
"The room for improvement is in the controller levels."
"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."
"The product must provide better warranties."
"The solution should improve stability."
"It is not a stable solution."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
