We performed a comparison between ExtremeCloud IQ and Ubiquiti WLAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, HPE Aruba Networking and others in Network Management Applications."ExtremeCloud offers features that not a lot of other vendors do like their data storage and the ability to swap licenses."
"a true controller-less approach, where each Access Point is 100% independent from the management system."
"HiveManager is incredibly useful for managing APs and switches from one cloud interface."
"Whenever I have a concern, question, or just need a refresher the helpful staff at AeroHive is there to help me. By far, the ]best relationship I have ever had with a vendor."
"The Client 360 feature provides a comprehensive view of your clients and their activities, including the devices they use. Additionally, a feature called Network 360 offers a 360-degree view of the network, like data usage (in GB), the status of ports and AP, and other details. You can drill down on granular-level drills to gain insights into specific applications and usage patterns like application level and fee, where your data is being wasted or what your clients are doing with the Internet data, what kind of applications they are using, etc."
"The dashboards are great and the user interface is quite intuitive."
"It's extremely easy to deploy. Even our access points are behind the net, not using real, public IP. We can easily add to the cloud. For deployment, we just need to let the access point take the DSCP from IP and then, even if it's not a requirement, we can see the serial number from the access points and add the serial number to the cloud directly."
"Its configuration and deployment are the most valuable."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."
"There was a time when we were using Cisco switches and attempting to integrate Ubiquiti UniFi switches into our network infrastructure. Eventually, after some effort, we managed to understand the process. Initially, it was challenging to configure the unified console to manage virtual networks alongside internal networks effectively. We had to comprehend how both systems would integrate carefully. It became apparent that maximizing the usage of Cisco switches required a thorough understanding of how UniFi operates at the backend."
"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance."
"The solution is not complex to deploy."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."
"The managing of switches within this solution could be improved."
"The Virtual Appliance crashed once while doing an upgrade. The good thing here is, even if the management system fails, all our networks and features still remain 100% stable and working."
"Lacks cyber asset tracking."
"Pricing is a bit expensive."
"Having a wizard for customers who are just starting might be helpful."
"The certification costs from suppliers are getting out of control, and it's not just Extreme. We have the same problem with Cisco and Huawei."
"Integrating the network access control solution can be complex, as it essentially combines two separate products."
"Need port aggregation on the 2384 switches to take full advantage of ac on the APs. I understand that is on their product road map."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."
"When they release new products, you should know if there backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, It is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed."
"I have never used cloud solutions. My first approach would be something related to the cloud, and backups on the cloud, and maybe an easier way to connect to it because I have an on-premises environment."
"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
"The coverage could be increased."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
