Aerohive-Needs work
The Aerohive Wireless wifi solution was implemented at our corporate office, along with customers we support. It addressed the issue of centralized management of a wifi solution, and one of the first to provide such service in the industry. We have since replaced it at our corporate office with another solution, but it was a good starting point learning this type of technology.
- The web portal is easy to maneuver
- It took a bit to understand the flow of setting up a new client or site
- The web portal could use a facelift and be more streamlined like the Meraki portal.
- Communication with the APS- specifically applying firmware upgrades. That process was extremely buggy, and many times I had to get to the AP and factory default it because it would get stuck in the upgrade process and not complete the cycle. That was very inconvenient for places such as University halls where the AP was mounted 20+ feet on the ceiling and having the rent a lift to reset the AP.
- A positive impact was the exposure to a centralized management platform, which was still new in the industry.
- A negative would be the hours spent troubleshooting APS because of failed firmware upgrades. This includes gaining access to the AP for a factory default in areas not easily accessible, which in turn extended the downtime of the solution in that area of the office/building
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.
We use Aerohive APs throughout our warehouses to support our distribution as well as supply chain. It addresses all issues with connecting the thousands of device that relies on our APs to communicate and connect to our core infrastructure services.
- Ease of use and Management. The process of implementing APs is straight forward and managing the wireless infrastructure is quite simple and efficient.
- Coverage: we are very happy with the distance each AP coverages in our warehouses without having any drop issues or over implementing APs.
- Cost competitive versus other cloud managed wi-fi solutions such as Cisco, Aruba or Mist.
- A mobile app would be great to manage the Infrastructure.
- The browser load time is quite long sometimes making troubleshooting slow.
- Better integration with Windows cloud services for management and authentication.
- It improved productivity for our warehouse workers when using scanning guns that are connected to our APs.
- Ease of use for our helpdesk to troubleshoot basic issues and could down on the cost of managing the wireless core service.
- Expansion of our infrastructure is less tedious than other solutions and the implementation phase is short.
- Cisco Meraki Wireless Access Point, Extreme Networks Wireless WAN and Aruba Networks Wireless LAN (WLAN)
It was a product that fit our business needs so we selected Aerohive based on cost, product functionality, and performance.
