The performance of the access points could be improved. ExtremeWireless coverage and signal stability could be enhanced to match the level of Ruckus Wireless and other vendors.
There are some disconnections at the point of the users. Wireless products, in general, have room for improvement compared to wired ones, which are more stable.

Many companies prefer Aruba over ExtremeWireless, possibly due to Aruba's broader range of products or their thorough approach to understanding customer needs. Aruba offers a wider selection of products in wireless networking and security. It has a more limited range of solutions, which might influence customer preference.
The onsite controllers are not as good as the cloud controller. I would also like ExtremeWireless to add web filtering on the access point. This feature is available from other vendors but not ExtremeWireless.

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.
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.

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.
