My primary use of ExtremeWireless is as a wi-fi solution.
Strategic Business Consultant at Wondercom
Wi-Fi solution with excellent integration
Pros and Cons
- "The most useful feature is how the product integrates with the Microsoft directory in the cloud."
- "The main area for improvement is the company's local visibility."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
This is a stable solution.
