    Aerohive was ahead of the industry when it came to Wireless network hardware and software. Initially, they were one of the first to offer a solution for a busy office environment with a complicated layout and multiple rooms, open areas, and offices that were spread out. The mesh design of the APS was also one of the first of its kind and has proven to be a great solution within our environment.

    It's very well suited for geographically dispersed organizations, where deploying and managing remote firewalls and other network security functions aren't practical. Once deployed, and the deployment isn't difficult after planning and understanding the data flows of the IoT devices, the system is easily managed and flexible. You're able to allow front line operations people to add devices into a role without sacrificing the integrity of the security model.

    It's pretty darned good for a new company. We had to hash through a couple of instances that no one had ever run into, but once we got to the right person on the engineering team, they were able to work through the solution pretty quickly. The nice thing is, unlike Cisco, once you fix something, you don't find three new things that have to be changed.

    We also considered both Cisco and Juniper, but Extreme Networks Wireless WAN met our budgetary and technology needs the best.

    The cost and complexity vs. ISE is as different as Uber and Lift are from trying to take a taxi in Duluth, Minnesota. The complexity of Cisco's IoT security is a joke. It was going to take us over a year just to deploy all the Cisco equipment, and that was if we could have gotten it all working together. We got the entire project deployed in just under 3 months, and that includes working out all the bugs and logistics. Honestly, I don't think all the Cisco parts would have ever been running like Cisco promised it would. It's just way too complicated.

    Return on Investment
    Extreme Networks
    • The speed of our Wireless network has significantly improved.
    • The range of the network covers our entire user area, simply due to the power and range of the APs as well as the mesh network capabilities.
    • The capability of the software to configure, monitor, and alert based on network traffic and user behavior is almost unmatched.

    • Capital cost to deploy was 1/4 the cost of doing Cisco.
    • People and time frame to do the entire deployment was 1/12th the time/people to complete the installation.
    • On-going management is being done without adding staff.
