    Likelihood to Recommend
    Cisco
    Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points are well suited for dense Client solutions. We have used these in areas where we have a large number of guests that need top-notch connectivity without ever losing connection. The one area where we do have difficulty is in outdoor deployment, where large areas need to be covered, but we do not have physical connectivity in order to get the access points connected. This is not an access point issue but more of a physical connectivity limitation.

    • Vitally is suitable for any software company that is looking to measure and report and action the health of their customers.
    • While you would get less value from the tool if you do not have a team in place to action the insights it generates, I would still recommend that smaller teams look at implementing health scores and setting up automated responses to bad health.

    Pros
    Cisco
    • So this product actually helps in healthcare facilities where we have a wireless, we call this WOW monitors. It's Wireless On Wheels. So we use those monitors to the patient's room to room. So in that case, rather than connecting it to wire, so it really helps us to connect through the WIFI and access the patients whenever we be needed.

    Cons
    Cisco
    • They could definitely download their code faster. When we first get them out of the box and join them on the network, it takes probably 20, 30 minutes per access point to download the new code from the wireless controller and then reboot itself and then come back online.
    • When you're configuring it on the controller, if you want to switch access point groups, we have them broken out per site. Every time you add it to one of those groups, it also has to reboot. That's like downtime for us. That could be improved, I think.

    Usability
    Cisco
    The Cisco Catalyst 9120 Access Points have been a solid deployment for me. Using their interface is a mix of new and old. They run IOS, so if you know the CLI, you can easily navigate around them. You can join them to an older controller if it supports a certain version, you can join it to a new 9800 controller--very straight forward--and you can run the embedded wireless controller on them directly. I've found this to be very useful at smaller sites. The Cisco Catalyst 9120 Access Points are not limited to feature sets like the older generations' mobility express platform.

Customer Sentiment analysis is also very important for me as well as the good project tracking and alignment across Product, Engineering, and Sales teams. This leads to more efficient collaboration and project completion.

    Support Rating
    Cisco
    We rate Cisco support 8/10 because the response time is generally very good, with most cases receiving attention and feedback within the same business day. When hardware replacement is required, delivery can sometimes take longer than expected, but replacements are consistently provided. Overall, the service remains credible, reliable, and essential for maintaining business continuity and network availability.

    Online Training
    Cisco
    On a scale of 1–10, I would rate the online training for Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points as a 6. While the training materials were comprehensive and covered essential topics, some modules were overly technical and not always intuitive for all users. Additional practical examples and interactive exercises would improve understanding and make the training more effective.

    Key insights from implementing Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points include the importance of thorough planning, pilot testing, and involving both IT teams and end-users early in the process.

    We are migrating from Aironet platform to Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points. That's more flexible, and we do it to sync switching, SDWAN, and wifi under one family.

    • Vitally was much easier to both set up and maintain than ChurnZero. The ongoing cost of keeping Churn Zero set up correctly was ultimately too much and caused us to look at other tools.
    • Vitally's user interface is much cleaner and easier to understand. While ChurnZero may have more customizations, we ultimately found we were not using large portions of their app.
    • Vitally worked out to be much cheaper for our needs.

    These access points offer flexibility in deployment scenarios, supporting both standalone and controller-based architectures. Organisations can choose the model that best suits their current needs and scale as their requirements grow. Cisco Aironet Access Points are compatible with Cisco's Wireless LAN controllers, allowing for centralized management and monitoring of a large number of access points across the network. With the recent changes, it will even support cloud base controllers.
