Cisco Wireless Reviews

Unified management, reporting, stability, and most importantly seamless roaming

Network wide SSID’s and passkeys help the day to day function of the IT staff. Simple to have a guest network.

The cost could be improved.

Deployment for the WLAN controllers is very simple with a proper plan of your organization’s requirements. I have deployed this across large university campuses, vpn tunnels, and small businesses.

I have had very few issues with appliances or access points dropping off.

This goes back to properly planning your deployment. The smaller WLAN controller’s don’t grow well.

I haven’t switched anyone but we do often deploy Ubiquiti Unifi equipment for our smaller clients

Like all things Cisco, this can be as simple or complex as you want it. Most implementations are very simple to start.

It is done in-house.

We evaluated Aruba, Ruckus, and Ubiquiti.

Do your research! Make sure this product fits your needs.

I am using the Cisco Wireless WAP 300, 200, and 100 series.

Cisco Wireless always has the latest technology that supports WiFi 5 and 6.

The solution could improve by having an advanced model with a controller. Additionally, the solution could be more secure.

I have been using Cisco Wireless for approximately two years.

I have found Cisco Wireless to be stable.

The solution is scalable, it has many features for scaling that you can use to control many devices.

Cisco Wireless is good for small to medium-sized businesses.

We have approximately 100 users using this solution.

The support has been good. I have had no issues with them.

The implementation is simple.

One engineer can install the solution. We have two engineers for the support of the solution.

There is no license required to use Cisco Wireless solutions.

I would recommend this solution.

I rate Cisco Wireless an eight out of ten.

I have been using Cisco Wireless for approximately 25 years.

Cisco Wireless is scalable.

We have approximately 2,500 people using this solution in my organization.

The technical support is very good.

We were previously using Linksys many years ago but they were acquired by Cisco, and we made the migration to Cisco.

The installation is straightforward.

We have four engineers and one administrator that can do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

We are on an annual license. The license and the hardware are expensive.

I would recommend the solution to others.

I rate Cisco Wireless an eight out of ten.

We have an ISE solution, WiFi controller, Access Points, and a wifi controller. We have to integrate all of these components with each other and we do that with Cisco's solution and a local Cisco partner. The performance is better than before. We had an issue with the phone wifi but no other real issues. It fully integrates with ISE. 

We work in energy so we manage electric networks and gas networks. Someone had to move across the building and keep contact with the operator onsite for when there is an issue with the network so, for us sometimes it is a problem with gas. It's really important for us to stay connected with phone wifi. We have to study a lot of scenarios because if we have a data center on a remote site and if we lose the connection to the data center the telephone and the wifi has to continue to work. We connect to Cisco wifi and we're able to solve the issue. Even in emergencies, we can respond to a customer's needs. 

When you integrate a network access control with authentication with an ISE engine it's really complicated to put in place. Even if you're only using Cisco products you have a new algorithm and you have old material. For us, it's complicated because we have to maintain old parts or devices. We purchase new devices and we maintain several SSID which is not really recommended by Cisco. They prefer to have one and to dispatch based on the condition.

It's stable. Although we have had an issue but it's not related to Cisco technology. It's to do with the position of the access points. They move it and it's good. They don't like to see a box so they move it which is an issue. 

The initial setup was quite easy. We have a very good relationship with our integrator and our integrator has a good relationship with Cisco. The integrator that installs Cisco is quite knowledgeable about the technology. They are trained and have a good relationship with their tech. We cannot be experts in each domain and we have to be supported by an integrator.

I would rate it a seven out of ten and I would recommend this solution. 

There are many valuable features including security, availability, scalability, integration With Cisco products, WEB Portal for guest users, and Cleanair.

The main improvement was the mobility of Notebooks, Tablets, SmartPhones and Warehouse functions.

Management, and Monitoring features need to be improved and the inclusion of a Cloud-based solution.

4 years

Remote APs cannot work without Main Controller when using 802.1x Authentication.

No issues encountered.

No issues were encountered.

It was OK! We had some problems and always checked them with the TAC.

We used MOTOROLA/SYMBOL. It is an solution with no innovation and less features than Cisco Wireless Solution.

No, It was simple.

I am an consultant and I implement for our clients.

Motorola and Aruba.

That is a good solution, pay attention on Compatibility Matrix with some APs.

Cisco Wireless is quite convenient for mobile and laptop access. 

We use a Cisco product called Room Kit for meetings. It would be nice if Cisco could improve that. I would also like a cloud solution.

I've been using Cisco for about three years, but I've worked with Ruckus and other wireless solutions for about five. 

Cisco stability is okay. We call support when we have downtime.

Our company has no more than 500 users, so scalability isn't an issue for us.

Cisco support is quite good. I can contact them, and they'll reply.

The initial setup on the first level was straightforward, but the second-level setup was complex.

We had help from a Cisco reseller. 

I rate Cisco Wireless six out of 10. My advice to people implementing Cisco Wireless is to find the right reseller. Find one who can deliver the service you need. That's the most important thing because we might not know the product, so we need support from time to time.

I use Cisco Wireless for wired and wireless networking.

Cisco Wireless solutions are easy to use.

In the future, I would like to have Cisco add video documentation on configuring and overall learning of how to use the solutions. For example, in such areas as, security, authentication, and load balancing.

I have been using Cisco Wireless within the past 12 months.

The solution is stable.

Cisco Wireless scalability is good.

We have approximately 500 people using this solution in my organization.

We have plans to expand the use of this solution in the future.

I have not used Cisco's technical support but I have contacted the distributor for assistance.

The initial setup was easy.

The price of Cisco Wireless is expensive and there is an additional cost for support.

I rate Cisco Wireless a nine out of ten.

We have twenty switches in our corporate office.

The most valuable features are that it is easy to install and the range is good.

The price should be reduced. It should be cheaper.

I have been using this solution for five years.

We have upgraded to the newest version.

It's a stable product.

We have close to 600 users in our organization who are using this solutoin.

I do not have experience with technical support. We have not had to contact them.

Previously, we did not use another solution.

It's easy to install. 

It can take 15 to 20 minutes to complete the installation.

I completed the installation myself.

We have a team of three to maintain this product.

This is an expensive product.

We plan to continue our usage of this product and I would recommend it to others.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
