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.
ExtremeWireless' pricing is medium, and I rate it a seven out of ten for pricing. The solution has a yearly subscription, and we have to pay additional costs for technical support.
I rate ExtremeWireless eight out of 10 for affordability. Extreme has a broad selection of products at different price points. Overall, Ruckus is much more cost-effective than Extreme, but Extreme offers more products than Ruckus, so it's not fair to compare them on price because it's different flavors. It depends on the project.
ExtremeWireless isn't budget-friendly. The hardware costs around 20,000 Indian rupees. We're still using an older controller, so it doesn't require a license, unlike the newest versions of the ExtremeWireless controller.

This product is not too expensive but not inexpensive, either. It is on par with everybody else. The cost varies depending on the number of access points that you have. We pay approximately $30,000 per year.
It is a subscription model, so it is maybe a bit pricey. Normally we have 200-300 users but sometimes up to 1,000. Actually, I think it's good. In wireless, Cisco and Oracle are expensive tools.
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.

Our access points device is at its end of life. I can buy one more and then I must buy a new device, but if it is a new device it will not support the old virtual appliance. I would need to upgrade our virtual appliance to the next version or build a new virtual appliance with new devices, and it's not good for us. The overall licensing subscription could be better. We are on an annual license for the use of this solution. Typically when we build a new store, we buy approximately 30 access points with licenses.

There are both paid and free licenses of the cloud environment, with only basic functionality in the free version. The paid version is priced to fit the market. Suitability of one over the other depends on the customer's needs.
Extreme ExtremeWireless Access Points deliver wired-like performance, at scale for high-density in every environment. Smart Access Points are equally adept for both distributed and centralized deployment models. ExtremeWireless Controllers provide advanced functionality to allow organizations to define how wireless voice/video/data traffic is processed without architectural constraints and in accordance with business needs.
