Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The company also uses Cisco ISE in other places. I have been told that ExtremeControl is easier to use than ISE. The other reason we prefer ExtremeControl is stability. That's why they chose it for this big hospital in Oslo.""There is information on migrating most of the cloud system's features.""I can know which end users are using which features.""It has effectively enhanced network security and integrated with other security tools to streamline operations.""The solution is easy to use."

More ExtremeControl Pros →

"The solution has good features for authentication, policies, and allowing users to self-provision devices for network access via their logins.""The tool's most valuable features include the phenomenal functionality of DPSK. The ease of use, particularly when it is correctly set up, is remarkably simple. Tracking users is straightforward and dynamic. This allows us to identify where a user might encounter issues within the process.""The solution is easy to use, well designed, robust, and has good traffic capacity.""I find the solution to be very rich in features.""The ease of use is great, and the automation wizards can do a lot.""Ruckus technical support is very good and helpful whenever we need them."

Cons
"The installation is easy, it can take between five minutes to four hours depending on the complexity of the environment. The speed of the installation could improve for more complex environments.""I'd like to have access to more information on the traffic passing through.""There isn't enough development for the on-premises controller.""One improvement could be better clarification, namely that the system only works optimally with all components purchased together."

More ExtremeControl Cons →

"The setup process is a bit complex.""The hardest part we've had to deal with is trying to find some physical product recently as everything is going like hotcakes.""The solution could improve by adding more detailed information that customers have available on the dashboards.""The tool needs to support multi-vendor environments. Currently, my experience with it has been primarily within Ruckus environments. However, I haven't explored it for multi-vendor scenarios. It would be great to see newer builds that are multi-vendor capable of full integration.""The scalability could be better.""I believe the solution is missing some great features which are present in other solutions like Aruba, UiPath, and Cisco ISE."

  • "The cost was somewhere around $700 for the access points, however, there was a discount."
  • "The pricing is a little bit high."
  • "I would rate the tool's pricing as a seven on a scale of one to ten. Compared to others, it's not overly expensive, but it does come with a cost. Since it's a licensed-based product, it can become expensive, especially if there is a need for additional licenses."
