Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, HPE Aruba Networking and others in Network Management Applications."What I like best about ExtremeCloud IQ is its ease of use. Flexibility is another pro of ExtremeCloud IQ. I also find ExtremeCloud IQ feature-rich."
"I like ExtremeCloud IQ's unified single-pane-of-glass dashboard. It offers a lot of visibility of performance, and it's great for troubleshooting. You don't have to go to 55 different places. You can get the information you need with just a few clicks."
"The tech who handles Extreme IQ tells me it's easy to use and learn. He felt like it was pretty intuitive. It comes with solid training materials. He also has talked about the security features that give you as much or as little control as you want."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized management capability."
"The feature that I like to most is unified management in a multitenant environment, where we can manage all our customers with thousands of devices (routers, switches, VPNs, and APs)."
"Integrated Firewall in every AP (with DPI inspection) is a killer feature and it is included already in the price of licence (with others, this feature is an add-on licence)."
"What our customers like the most is that this device is so rugged. It has very good performance and throughput. Its console is very easy to use and has many features, which makes it different from its competitors. Cloud IQ has all the features built into the console, whereas other solutions require you to integrate multiple solutions with their consoles. You don't need to add anything extra with Cloud IQ. With this single solution, you can do almost everything."
"It allows me to see APs and clients that are having issues, allowing for faster support response and less downtime."
"The ability to manage everything from the cloud is going to be the most valuable by far with this solution."
"The initial setup is relatively easy."
"It's user-friendly."
"The most valuable FortiGate Cloud feature is logging. It's there seven days a week, and there is no hard limit on logs or size restrictions. This much capacity will show up for that seven days. FortiGate Cloud offers many other valuable features like Fortinet Secure Gateway, SASE, and the Fortinet Security Fabric."
"The most valuable features are management and integration."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud are ease of use and the simplicity of maintenance and configuration. Additionally, the modularity of the solution is very easy to handle, it is convenient."
"I like Fortinet FortiGate Cloud's simple UX and UI designs and the fact that it is also a VPN solution for our clients. The solution is user-friendly."

"We have had some mediocre to poor experiences with tech support: Conflicting information, condescending attitudes, and reluctance to work to resolve an issue."
"The licensing model could be improved."
"The Virtual Appliance crashed once while doing an upgrade. The good thing here is, even if the management system fails, all our networks and features still remain 100% stable and working."
"ExtremeCloud IQ’s user interface needs to be improved, and its current bugs need to be fixed."
"Lacks cyber asset tracking."
"They can improve just the onboarding process. More user information about the introduction to the product would be helpful. It would be good if they have a better user introduction to the new product because it is different than the prior version."
"The solution's performance needs to be enhanced because of a very high delay."
"Need port aggregation on the 2384 switches to take full advantage of ac on the APs. I understand that is on their product road map."
"However, the absence of certain features like CLI is a drawback."
"They're constantly doing maintenance and there are unexpected downtimes for the cloud interface."
"Fortinet could improve FortiGate Cloud by providing better integration with third-party applications and features."
"If more products convert their configuration to Fortinet configuration, it will be easy for migration."
"Everything related to the graphical user interface should be improved."
"Some configuration changes would be helpful."
"It would be much better if Fortinet FortiGate Cloud allowed third-party integrations like multi factor-authentication."
