I'm not responsible for deploying ExtremeControl, so I can't say if it's difficult to deploy. Some other projects in my company may have it deployed on the cloud, but I'm unsure. I'm working on a massive project that will finish in autumn 2024. We're using ExtremeControl and other Extreme components for that. We have a team of two or three experts who install and maintain the solution. I don't think they spent much time on it because they have experience working with ExtremeControl from other projects. Overall, the project takes a long time to reach the production stage. It's about a year before we are ready to go into production. We have a group that does maintenance, and the hospital has its own technicians. I don't know how many of them are doing this, but I would assume it's maybe 20 because you have to support it 24/7.

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"It has effectively enhanced network security and integrated with other security tools to streamline operations."
"There is information on migrating most of the cloud system's features."
"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."

Room for Improvement

"One improvement could be better clarification, namely that the system only works optimally with all components purchased together."
"There isn't enough development for the on-premises controller."
"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."
