Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, HPE Aruba Networking and others in Network Management Applications."The cloud-based management interface allows us to fully manage all our wireless radios, ensuring consistency and ease of access."
"The cloud-based controller through HiveManager is its most valuable feature. I can manage and configure changes to my access points from anywhere."
"Ability to assign zero trust policies from the user."
"ExtremeCloud offers features that not a lot of other vendors do like their data storage and the ability to swap licenses."
"The cloud management gives us the tools and reports that we need to monitor and troubleshoot the network."
"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)."
"The HiveManager integration with the VPN Gateway is awesome."
"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."
"It's very easy to deploy."
"The stability and performance are great."
"Ubiquiti is intuitive. The management interface is user-friendly. You can easily make changes and do the things that need to be done."
"We have not had an issue with Ubiquiti Wireless since we have been using it. The solution is highly reliable."
"The range is usually pretty good, which is the most important thing to use because more or less, all wireless access points are the same."
"The setup is easy and user friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti Wireless is the ease of configuration."
"We had a client with a power plant. Different wireless devices from various brands caused problems. We fixed it using the Ubiquiti Wireless UDM controller and installed 75 access points and antennas."
"For me, the only issue is the potential delay in the tool statistics updating in real time after making changes."
"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."
"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."
"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 more security features such as NAC integrated to the solution. This would allow customers to be able to control all other users under one dashboard."
"The dashboard and stability need to be improved."
"The managing of switches within this solution could be improved."
"ExtremeCloud IQ’s user interface needs to be improved, and its current bugs need to be fixed."
"The mesh configuration and WiFi 6 coverage should be improved."
"The solution has very good product lines. However, it feels like some models overlap. For example, a new model is announced after three months, and another new model is announced shortly after. So, the release cycle feels too short, and some features overlap. Overall, the products are very good and reliable."
"It's hard to get stuff delivered on time."
"The range and maybe the quality of the signal can be improved. I had a feeling that the range wasn't long enough. Unfortunately, beyond a certain range, the signal was too weak. If I'm not mistaken, it must have been something like 100 or more than 100 meters, but I'm not sure. So, one improvement I wish for this equipment is to have a longer range, but that could mainly be due to the model we're using."
"There isn't any technical support."
"We'd like the solution to be more stable and have fewer firmware upgrades."
"After upgrades to the interface, some features disappear."
"The accessibility to technical support could be better."
