Considered Both Products	Extreme Wireless Access Points Verified User Administrator Chose Extreme Wireless Access Points We are running Ubiquiti APs for a separate network need in one of our buildings - which we are also happy with. But the difference between Ubiquiti and ExtremeWireless is vast - I cannot find most of the settings I'm used to seeing with ExtremeWireless in the Ubiquiti GUI. That … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Extreme Wireless Access Points sub tier, but still a great product at a price point lower that the ideal vendor of choice Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Extreme Wireless Access Points Aerohive wireless stacks up well with other vendors listed when it comes to centralized management. Being one of the first vendors to offer web-based management, I feel that they had the lead in that area, but lost it to the likes of Meraki and other solutions. Incentivized Helpful? Gus Awad Senior Systems Engineer Chose Extreme Wireless Access Points It was a product that fit our business needs so we selected Aerohive based on cost, product functionality, and performance. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrator Chose Extreme Wireless Access Points The Aerohive wireless devices are comparable to Cisco's wireless solution, in regard to performance, features, and management. But the cost of utilizing Cisco Wireless Access Points versus using the Aerohive access points is staggering. Since our wireless access points do not … Incentivized Helpful? Larry Chisholm Network Engineer Chose Extreme Wireless Access Points Aerohive is an amazing product. Cisco wasn't able to stack up when it comes to controller redundancy, backup, etc. No need to have special software to just have a secondary controller... which drives down the cost. Incentivized Helpful? Bear Golightly IT Operations Manager / IT Service Manager Chose Extreme Wireless Access Points Aerohive's only meaningful competitor is Meraki; I'd say Aerohive/Meraki is 6 in one hand, half dozen in the other. You honestly can't go wrong with either, but I do not regret choosing Aerohive! Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Extreme Wireless Access Points I've used both Aruba and Cisco (traditional, not Meraki) for wireless, and each have their own strengths. Aruba offers a lot of feature functionality, though the interface is difficult and confusing to use (this was ~4 years ago). Cisco wireless is fairly straightforward to … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Extreme Wireless Access Points
Likelihood to Recommend	Extreme Networks The Extreme access point solution has been used in the cooperative scenario with VLANs for employees in access through 802.1x authentication and also for guests through the captive portal that allows access of people for a limited time and prior registration. The equipment has great performance and connection speed and supports a high density of users connected at the same time without lag and crashes. The management of this equipment is being carried out through software with cloud management and is accessed by our infrastructure team to configure and monitor alerts.

Pros	Extreme Networks Extremely easy to provision new devices, once the profiles are set up, due to centralized management Very quick provisioning of new devices, due to centralized management and predefined profiles Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Extreme Networks In my experience, licensing has become a nightmare. Licensing must be tied to a device, they also won't let you activate used units from other companies if they are donated or purchased third-party. Customer service is outsourced overseas. In my experience, technicians are incentivized to close tickets quickly - whether the issue has been fixed or not - which can be frustrating to work with.

Usability	Extreme Networks It has worked for us as advertised with little technical issues. The system has been stable with no major downtime. Incentivized Gus Awad Senior Systems Engineer Read full review
Support Rating	Extreme Networks Support was always responsive and willing to help, but at times did not know when to call it and send a replacement to stop the bleeding. I respect that fact that they wanted to get the solution working, and the wanting to learn more and understand, but at times you cant do that at the expense of the customer.

Alternatives Considered	Extreme Networks The Aerohive wireless devices are comparable to Cisco's wireless solution, in regard to performance, features, and management. But the cost of utilizing Cisco Wireless Access Points versus using the Aerohive access points is staggering. Since our wireless access points do not maintain a constant heavy load, we chose a more cost effective solution and have not had many issues with them.

Return on Investment	Extreme Networks Less downtime to our business units that use Aerohive Radios are very compatible with most wireless devices out today I spend less time managing Aerohive than any other wireless product Incentivized Larry Chisholm Network Engineer Read full review
