Mature and robust platform; can be used to manage Cisco switches

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.

Achieve seamless network and link monitoring with comprehensive device management

The most valuable function is that the IMC takes an entire backup of my network devices, and I can also redeploy them. The really beneficial feature is the link monitoring. I had checked Check Point's product, however, my requirements are better fulfilled by IMC. The main feature is that IMC automatically configures the device for my use. I have over 200 features in my network, and IMC manages the complete environment. Automation is good, but I mainly use it for monitoring. I am too satisfied with this product.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I need fewer people to do implementation and support, and I don't have to go on-site to change the configuration or otherwise support the switch."

"The technical support services are good."

"The report model is one of the valuable models. We are able to see all the information concentrated in reports, which is very useful. We are able to get the information about the performance of the equipment and check that everything is okay. You can get very useful information across applications, so we have very good experience with their management solutions. 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."

"ExtremeManagement brings in the most value by reducing the technical debt to the organization in terms of having to hire personnel to maintain it or contract it."

"The best thing about the solution is that it is all managed from just a single application window. We call this feature a single pane of glass due to the fact that almost all the features are all managed within a single application, or a browser, to be more specific."

"One of the notable advantages is its ability to provide quick responses, especially in critical situations."

"The most useful feature is infrastructure monitoring including switches and servers."

"The most valuable feature is the interface and its ease of use."

"The most valuable function is that the IMC takes an entire backup of my network devices, and I can also redeploy them."

"It's a very complete product with a lot of functionality."

Cons

"It would be great to not need an on-premises SiteIQ license for running a Fabric OS cloud or managing third-party devices."

"Some features are quite difficult to configure and they are very complicated to figure out. Maybe the vendors should introduce a more driven configuration that can clarify the processes a bit more to make the processes more clearly defined."

"It would be helpful if this solution had support for configuring and managing third-party hardware 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."

"There could be better integration with third-party equipment and vendors."

"The integration with other network devices needs improvement."

"I would like to see additional modules included."

"One notable deficiency is the lack of online support for the product."

"HPE Intelligent Management Center is a bit slow."

"I face the issue with the integration with links on Fortinet Firewall."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The support is billed on a yearly basis, and there are no additional costs."

"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."

"There are licensing costs and they are quite expensive."

"The price of this solution is not at all cheap, but it's reasonable compared to SolarWinds."
