Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller vs. Cisco Mobility Express (discontinued)

Overall I could see myself recommending these to others if they have the right set of circumstances at their place of business. Those would be like ours, if they had a location that couldnt be served by a WLC. Once setup they are easy to manage and self healing as in they wont go down when one is offline.

Honestly, I think it is well suited in any environment. May it be work, campus, universities, malls. It is a reliable, controller-less solution, simple and easy to use, and easy to maintain. It doesn't require much support from professionals. You install it easily. It provides an uninterrupted connection, and you can easily connect to it.

Giving this rating as i have recommended and configured EWC for many customer where they don't needed much AP and on-prem controller was also not needed. most of features available on 9800 WLC is also available on EWC

To be honest, I have not faced any sort of application error or unplanned outages till now. [In my experience], I had faced a reduction in internet speed, which was later identified [to be the fault of] the internet service provider.

It provides a seamless connection, but sometimes it kicks me out, and [I] need to reconnect. Luckily it will connect you to the next one available if kicked out.

Cisco EWC is better to all its competitor as it provide same robust solution which is available to its hardware based controller, Customer experiences are similar to what other 9800 hardware based devices provides.
