ExtremeWireless Reviews

I use ExtremeWireless for education, hospitality, and banking. The solution has multiple applications.

The wireless security solution is the most valuable feature of ExtremeWireless. I do not recommend ExtremeWireless for the hospitality sector because it lacks many features. However, I highly recommend the solution for the banking and education sectors because of the wireless security solution it specifically provides for people who are very concerned about wireless security. The product has a dedicated solution called air defense.

The solution must include integrated IoT solutions on their wireless APs.

I have been working with ExtremeWireless for about three years.

ExtremeWireless is quite a stable solution. Sometimes we face bugs and issues with the firmware. The updates for the on-prem are not frequent, which affects the stability of the solution.

I rate ExtremeWireless an eight out of ten for stability.

ExtremeWireless is a very scalable solution. We have six mega projects using the solution.

I rate ExtremeWireless a nine out of ten for scalability.

The solution's technical support needs improvement. The response time and qualification of the support team need to be improved. Extreme has a lot of products that are still fragmented between the integration of the companies they acquired.

It has an inconsistent system till now, which is still not universal. I'm dealing with multiple companies under one name, but the support team still lacks enough experience to handle all these different solutions under one name.

The solution's initial setup for the cloud solution is straightforward, but it is a lot of pain for the on-prem solution.

The solution's deployment takes 10 to 15 minutes for the cloud and about one hour for on-premises. The solution's deployment for the cloud is a straightforward process. We use the serial numbers to the cloud solution, connect the AP to an internet source, and it goes online after a while.

However, the on-premises deployment is a little bit more tricky. For the on-premises deployment, we need to configure the AP to connect to the cloud, then reconfigure it to connect to the on-prem again, then change the firmware to be connected to the on-prem, and then run it.

Two engineers are enough for the maintenance and deployment of ExtremeWireless.

There is no perpetual license on ExtremeWireless. It's not like Ruckus, which has an on-prem perpetual license. ExtremeWireless is subscription-based for both cloud and on-prem solutions, and it's quite expensive. Customers just need to pay for the license and support.

Overall, I rate ExtremeWireless an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for wireless coverage.

The solution doesn't have any issues. It's reliable and works well. It's pretty stable.

The solution scales well.

The installation process is pretty easy and the deployment is fast.

The solution should offer better support. It's not as good as it could be right now.

We've been using the solution for five years or so. It's been a while at this point.

The stability is pretty good. If there are any issues, we are able to easily deal with them. 

The product is scalable. We can expand it when we need to.

At our company, we have 500 users on the solution.

We would prefer it if the support was a bit better. It could be faster. We find it's not as good as, for example, Cisco.

We also have experience using Cisco. We find their support better. We also use HPE solutions. 

We found the installation process to be simple. It's straightforward and not difficult by any means. 

The deployment is also fast and takes maybe two to three hours or so. 

We were able to handle the deployment ourselves with the help of technical support.

You do need to pay a licensing fee. Currently, we are upgrading. We pay an annual licensing fee. 

I cannot speak to the exact version number we are using at this time. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We're quite happy with its capabilities.

So far, I would recommend the product to other organizations. 

We use ExtremeWireless for internet conductivity.

Extreme Wireless has helped out organizations because of its flexibility. We can easily configure multiple SSIDs. It gave us the option to provide a separate connection for our guests and our team. Additionally, it has given us the ability to segregate our network. People don't have access to a specific server if they don't have the restriction level to see them.

ExtremeWireless is a flexible solution.

The user interface of ExtremeWireless could be better. It is not user-friendly.

In the future release, they could improve by making an easier way to work on an extender for existing wireless networks.

I have been using ExtremeWireless for approximately one year.

ExtremeWireless is very reliable and stable. We didn't have any problems throughout the year.

We are not that dynamic in terms of employee number, or employee count. We haven't had the need to grow or shrink in size. However, scalability is very easy. You only need to add the serial number for the access point on the cloud and it will use the same settings and configuration, everything will be ready without touching anything.

I would rate the support from Extreme Wireless a five out of five.

The initial setup of ExtremeWireless is straightforward. The time it takes for the implementation depends on the complexity of what is needed to be configured. If you want something straight out of the box, you can have it ready in maybe 10, or 15 minutes. If you want to build something complex regarding multiple networks, multiple SSIDs, or some kind of security measure, you will need a couple of hours. 

We did the implementation in-house. The solution does not require maintenance.

I rate the price of Extreme Wireless a three out of five.

I rate ExtremeWireless a nine out of ten.

I am using ExtremeWireless for network access in my organization.

ExtremeWireless has good performance.

The ExtremeWireless WiNG Access Point on-premise is not as good as the cloud and many of my customers are switching. It is easier for my clients to manage everything from the cloud. I currently use a model of the controller that does not support any cloud functionality.

I have been using ExtremeWireless for approximately three years.

ExtremeWireless is a stable solution.

We have approximately 30 people using this solution.

The technical from ExtremeWireless has been good.

I have used other brands of solutions previously.

The initial setup is not complicated.

The price of the solution overall is expensive. Additionally, the controller and license are expensive. We pay for an annual subscription.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate ExtremeWireless a four out of ten.

The version that we install depends on the customer. ExtremeWireless has two different types. There are the campus and cloud options. We mostly focus on the campus option.

ExtremeWirless is good for every enterprise ogranization.

It's a set of network management tools.

In terms of the most valuable features, I like the integration with the fabric. The network fabric completely integrates with wireless as well. You can fully automate the installation and integration of the switching and the device portfolio within one fabric and management framework.

In the next release, I would like to see more security features. 

I have been using ExtremeWireless for about five years. 

I would rate Extreme Wireless a nine out of ten.

This product is typically used to cover normal Wi-Fi applications, such as the hospitality sector or small companies. We have been involved in lots of projects where we have installed this solution for our clients.

This is part of an all-in-one solution for voice and wireless data. It has all of the basic features that the customers need.

The security is very good.

The current product line is very high-level and is well suited for enterprise-level organizations, but they need a more cost-effective solution for smaller businesses.

We began using this solution when it was Avaya Wireless, starting about ten years ago.

This product is very stable.

This solution scales very well. We have not yet had problems scaling up to the number of access points that are needed. Our customers are a mix of medium-sized and enterprise-level businesses.

The technical support is good. Their team is very helpful if you need it.

I have also worked with similar products from Aruba.

The initial setup is straightforward, typically taking about an hour to deploy. As long as the access points have been installed and are powered up, it takes about an hour to configure.

Our in-house team deploys this solution for our clients. Typically, two or three people are involved, depending on the size of the project.

With the inception of the Extreme Cloud, we are now in the process of migrating all of our customers to that cloud-based deployment.

Concerning Extreme Wireless, our customers are happy and I haven't had any specific requests for new features.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this solution is to take the required training.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

We are using ExtremeWireless for our wireless network environment.

The solution is easy to use and manage. Overall it is very simple to understand and users do not know it is a cloud solution.

The reports could prove in ExtremeWireless. However, we are in the early stages of use and we might be able to configure them better.

I have been using ExtremeWireless for approximately a couple of months.

The solution is stable.

I have found ExtremeWireless to be scalable.

We have approximately 200 users using this solution in my organization.

We had to use the support once when we had an issue on the portal and they were very good and resolved our issue.

I have previously used other solutions before ExtremeWireless.

The installation and migration were very good from Aerohive to ExtremeWireless.

We have one technician that does the implementation.

The solution is priced well and we currently are only paying for a license for maintenance.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate ExtremeWireless an eight out of ten.

My primary use of ExtremeWireless is as a wi-fi solution.

The most useful feature is how the product integrates with the Microsoft directory in the cloud. It allows users to have just one username/password in the Microsoft cloud directors and use it to enter the wi-fi network.

The main area for improvement is the company's local visibility. It's not well-known in Portugal, making it harder to sell since customers tend to prefer solutions that they are familiar with and have strong support in their country.

This is a stable solution.

The initial setup was straightforward.

We used a specialized team to implement the product.

Extreme isn't the most expensive, but it's not a low-cost solution, and because there are no big volumes, you don't receive significant discounts, making the final price higher. I would rate their price as three out of five.

I would rate this solution as eight out of ten.
