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.

The actual hardware works great, but with recent changes within the company, I'm less inclined to be a loyal customer of theirs long-term. Their changes to licensing agreements are quite a deterrent and make for a frustrating situation for the end-user as well as the reseller. I would steer smaller businesses away from ExtremeWireless, as their pricing is quite high compared to other companies. Mid to large-sized businesses would benefit from Extreme's line of products - so long as you can tolerate the licensing hoops one must jump through to remain compliant.

Aerohive Wireless has a great selection of APs for indoor and outdoor deployments, which now compete with other vendors. With this said, they should work in the environment you install them, with the plus of using a web portal to manage the solution. They are questionable in areas that will be hard to access if you need to factory default them.

It's well suited for manufacturing and warehouses with ease of deployment, management, and support. It’s great for offices and remote offices and stores. I can’t think of a scenario where Aerohive is not suited or appropriate. I would say not for home use, as it’s an expensive product for such a case.

Aerohive is useful for hosting multiple SSIDs and have them each segregated into their own VLANs. The ability to segregate and force Guest users to agree to an Acceptable Use Policy. Since the Access Points can communicate with RADIUS (or NPS); you can run WPA2-Enterprise, force employees to use AD credentials to authenticate, and gain the AD password policy (i.e. password changes every 30/60/90 days.)

Aerohive is well-suited for just about any indoors wireless environment with a mission-critical need for wireless. The gear is pretty good, the cloud control is great, and the support is top-notch. If you only need one or two AP's to meet your needs, Aerohive might not be your golden ticket, but once you need 2-3 AP's in range of one another, you're going to need Aerohive in your life.

A large segment of the Aerohive client base is the education market, which is very different in terms of agility and immediate support needs of financial institutions. They seem to focus more effort on their wireless AP solutions, which I have only rarely tested. When it comes to remote access, the solution is still relatively expensive due to the upfront hardware purchase, though recurring costs are fairly low.
