Unified licensing and AI-driven control have simplified multi-site management and boosted automation
There is a little bit of delay for the analytics in ExtremeCloud IQ, but it is acceptable. The response time in ExtremeCloud IQ is a little slow. The system response time is slow, and the updates on the system, such as the updates for the analytics or for the location-based services, are slow. For example, if I want to update the location-based solution, it takes about one minute to update my location. This is too much time. It's not an accurate location over one minute. They should enhance the response of the system part of location-based services, such as Extreme LPS or Extreme Location Essentials. This needs a huge improvement for the latency and for the updates.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution's scalability is a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup of ExtremeAnalytics is straightforward and user-friendly."
"The application response latency is valuable and suitable for troubleshooting."
"The most valuable feature of ExtremeAnalytics is wireless intrusion prevention."
"Aerohive is hands down the best wireless network provider I have used."
"I am taking over the Director of Technology position in a few days and I am thrilled to say that I have no worries at all about our wireless network."
"The few times we have needed help, Aerohive has been there for us and I am confident that If I need them they will be there again."
"The Aerohive solution appeared to be price competitive, however lack of training and support in the region has made it more expensive than other solutions."
"The HiveManager integration with the VPN Gateway is awesome."
"Overall management / UI is great, there is a lot to it, but it is well organized and relatively simple to use, and the guest user portal and generation of PPSK's has proven invaluable."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It's nice to have a single interface to configure, troubleshoot and remediate any issues."
 

Cons

"ExtremeAnalytics could improve application control. The URL filtering is not working properly. We have had issues with the reports and heat maps not working as expected. We have been receiving download errors when attempting to retrieve the heat maps and reports."
"There are issues with cloud distribution of the servers, and it could be faster."
"The solution's stability needs to be improved."
"The PoE switches we purchased were/are very difficult to configure."
"For me, the only issue is the potential delay in the tool statistics updating in real time after making changes."
"The response time in ExtremeCloud IQ is a little slow. The system response time is slow, and the updates on the system, such as the updates for the analytics or for the location-based services, are slow."
"The licensing model could be improved."
"The user interface and disparity of feature releases versus golden firmware. Certain features only exist or work in certain versions."
"The firewall inside the AP is a little limited in what it can do."
"We'd like to have a cloud dashboard from which we can see all devices."
"There can be an improvement by incorporating two-factor authentication or multi-factor authentication for security. Advanced network access control features and application control features should be added to manage applications. Many customers are interested in managing data, such as setting data quotas for individual users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is approximately $100 to $120 and is paid annually."
"The pricing is an eight out of ten."
"Price-wise, it is a reasonable tool."
"There are probably cheaper solutions but we invest for stability and performance for the longer haul."
"Previously, ExtremeCloudIQ provided free licensing for all the basic requirements of their customers. An advanced cloud user had to purchase advanced licenses for automation and advanced country features at the enterprise level. They have restricted the licensing, allowing only up to ten units for testing, which is challenging. This limitation becomes problematic, especially in countries like Sri Lanka or other Asian countries, where customers face economic challenges and have limited budgets. The previous free option was beneficial, but it has become tougher to manage with these new changes. They should revise their pricing structure, offering the basic features free of charge for up to 50 AP. Larger entities with more than 50 APs have the budget to support them. Still, it becomes more difficult for small and medium-sized businesses with less than 50 APs to allocate a significant budget for control and management features."
"Extreme licensing is based on the number of access points. When you buy the license for the first year, everything is included, such as access to mapping, etc. If you don't renew your software assurance for the second year, the access points will still work, but you can't use the cloud management tools."
"For example, if you compare Aruba vs Aerohive, you need to check which licences from Aruba you need to match the functionality of Aerohive (usually you need at least three types of licences and a controller with redundancy). The same goes with Cisco, where you need buy additional licences for central management, firewall, spectral analysis, WIPS, PPSK, etc. Aerohive has a very simple model - one licence for all the functionalities - and you can believe that there are many. One licence makes it easy to maintain, scale, renew and you can plan your costs 10 years in advance."
"I would advise that you be sure to compare apples with apples. Many customers just look at the price per AP and licences, and compare that against other solutions. But, they do not look at the complete picture such as: TCO - how much the equipment will cost you over, say, seven years? Will the customer need to change complete infrastructure when they want to buy the newest hardware? Does support include a lifetime warranty and RMA?"
"It is costly as compared to Meraki, Aruba, Juniper, and Cisco. Cloud IQ is an enterprise solution, whereas Meraki is specifically a single solution."
"Buy near the end of Q4 in order to get a deal."
