The solution has easy maintenance. Unlike other solutions, it’s very convenient and easy to maintain because it’s a cloud solution. The solution gets updates and patches easily, and we can immediately benefit from any new features or versions introduced. Adding new IPs or setting up new sites when customers open branches is a simple process of adding the serial numbers of the APIs and provisioning the settings across them. We have used other tools for network monitoring like the Motadata. Try out the features and experience the hardware, software, and unit management solution they are offering, especially with the AI and machine-enabled cloud features. The available features are impressive. It's not just about opting for popular names; other players in the market can provide similar solutions at an affordable cost. You can save on your IT budget without compromising quality by exploring different options. Allocating the saved budget for other requirements becomes possible when you choose a reputable product at a more affordable cost. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

ExtremeCloud IQ’s user interface needs to be improved, and its current bugs need to be fixed. Sometimes, AP details, like the AP firmware and the AP hostname, are not updating properly because of a few bugs in the current version, which they might fix in the next version. Compared to the central and other cloud solutions, a couple of bugs still running on these portals need to be rectified. For ExtremeCloud IQ's next releases, I expect to get all the users and the events alerts. Also, if any AP goes down, I should be able to do some scheduled reports specific to the site because it is currently in beta. If any AP goes offline, that's an event. If you want to do the filter for a specific site event, we don't have that filter option. I expect specific site-level and category-level events and alert filters to get reports.

Pricing

"The pricing is so cost-effective that it leaves no room for competition with other vendors."
"Customers need to pay a yearly licensing fee for ExtremeCloud IQ, which is a little bit expensive."
"Previously, ExtremeCloudIQ provided free licensing for all the basic requirements of their customers. An advanced cloud user had to purchase advanced licenses for automation and advanced country features at the enterprise level. They have restricted the licensing, allowing only up to ten units for testing, which is challenging.This limitation becomes problematic, especially in countries like Sri Lanka or other Asian countries, where customers face economic challenges and have limited budgets. The previous free option was beneficial, but it has become tougher to manage with these new changes. They should revise their pricing structure, offering the basic features free of charge for up to 50 AP. Larger entities with more than 50 APs have the budget to support them. Still, it becomes more difficult for small and medium-sized businesses with less than 50 APs to allocate a significant budget for control and management features."

Valuable Features

"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."
"ExtremeCloud IQ is a complete package with the pilot and the co-pilot feature that gives me full visibility of the network."
"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."

Room For Improvement

"Integrating the network access control solution can be complex, as it essentially combines two separate products."
"The solution's performance needs to be enhanced because of a very high delay."
"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."
