Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, HPE Aruba Networking and others in Network Management Applications."Our transaction polling is now way more secure."
"ExtremeCloud offers features that not a lot of other vendors do like their data storage and the ability to swap licenses."
"The dashboards are great and the user interface is quite intuitive."
"The cloud management gives us the tools and reports that we need to monitor and troubleshoot the network."
"Ability to assign zero trust policies from the user."
"The cloud-based management interface allows us to fully manage all our wireless radios, ensuring consistency and ease of access."
"When we deployed the new IP that is managed wirelessly in the cloud, it fixed the problems. Now, we don't have any more reports, and everything works fine."
"HiveManager is incredibly useful for managing APs and switches from one cloud interface."
"There was a time when we were using Cisco switches and attempting to integrate Ubiquiti UniFi switches into our network infrastructure. Eventually, after some effort, we managed to understand the process. Initially, it was challenging to configure the unified console to manage virtual networks alongside internal networks effectively. We had to comprehend how both systems would integrate carefully. It became apparent that maximizing the usage of Cisco switches required a thorough understanding of how UniFi operates at the backend."
"It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."
"would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is very scalable."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
"The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."
"Pricing is a bit expensive."
"Certain features only exist or work in certain versions."
"The certification costs from suppliers are getting out of control, and it's not just Extreme. We have the same problem with Cisco and Huawei."
"I would like to see a remote phone application for monitoring APs when on the road."
"Browser load time for the cloud is long and needs improvement."
"I know a school district, a big school district of mine, ripped out Extreme due to inefficiencies. It was the guest network that can be a struggle. They tried to differentiate between their primary network, and then offer a secondary."
"Lacks cyber asset tracking."
"Their firewall configuration gets funky and it can be difficult to understand."
"The coverage could be increased."
"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better."
"Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"When they release new products, you should know if there backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, It is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"The room for improvement is in the controller levels."
