ExtremeManagement is excellent. It is a very mature platform and robust in that it covers most of the functionality of the devices. One of ExtremeManagement's advantages over its competitors is that it is capable of managing Cisco switches if you have their on-prem manager. So you can take your legacy Cisco switches and manage them directly in the Extreme platform.

One of ExtremeManagement's notable advantages is its compatibility with non-Extreme equipment, allowing for comprehensive network management across various brands and devices. It simplifies network management tasks, even in heterogeneous environments. Additionally, the transition to a cloud-based model offers scalability and flexibility, enabling users to start with a small deployment and expand gradually based on their needs. It offers a modular design, allowing for the addition of features and capabilities to enhance network performance. Initially serving as a network management system (NMS), users can later seamlessly incorporate analytics and other functionalities. It presents all pertinent information on a single dashboard or screen. Users can easily access comprehensive network insights and drill down for more detailed analysis. Customers have highlighted the intuitiveness and ease of use of ExtremeManagement compared to other vendors. I rate it an eight out of ten.

They can improve the information period. Currently, we are able to have information for only 14 or 15 days, but we would like to have information for an extended period of maybe 30 days. Their technical support can also be improved in terms of the response time to the tickets.

It has many functionalities to simplify the administration and monitor the development of the switches or AP.It is easy to deploy, easy to configure. and easy to develop. Its price is also good."

Room for Improvement

ExtremeManagement needs improved support for configuring and managing third-party devices and better wireless integration. The configuration process is complex and could benefit from clearer guidance. Extending information retention beyond the current 14 to 15-day limit is necessary. Users want faster technical support response times. Eliminating the need for an on-premises SiteIQ license and offering a fully cloud-based management option is desired. Enhanced integration with third-party equipment and older vendor systems is also needed.

"There could be better integration with third-party equipment and vendors."
"It would be great to not need an on-premises SiteIQ license for running a Fabric OS cloud or managing third-party devices."
"They can improve the information period. Currently, we are able to have information for only 14 or 15 days, but we would like to have information for an extended period of maybe 30 days.Their technical support can also be improved in terms of the response time to the tickets."

Pricing

ExtremeManagement's pricing comprises per-node licensing based on user count, with annual support fees called Xtreme Works or Partner Works required for updates and assistance. Management portal access comes with device licenses, but SiteIQ virtual machine capabilities require an additional license. Users report a satisfactory balance between cost and performance, with no major complaints about affordability, despite not being considered inexpensive.

"While they don't consider it affordable, they don't find it overly expensive."
"It has a good price. There is a good relationship between the cost and the performance."
"The support is billed on a yearly basis, and there are no additional costs."

Service and Support

Most issues are resolved swiftly during initial contact. However, sometimes responses to tickets take longer than expected, indicating room for improvement. Licensing and administrative issues may need customer involvement. Overall, users express satisfaction with the level of service provided.
