Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers are easy to manage, and easy operate. Also Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers devices can manage lots of Access Points at the same time. And they have lots of wireless features especially Cisco specific ones (application visibility control). Last but not least it very easy to reach thousands of know-how from cisco.com.

These were extremely difficult to initially configure and get online. Once they were online we had no real issues with them. Cisco deployment has been much easier as well as having a much deeper configuration available. We also like the quick deployments we are able to do with Cisco that I was not able to do with the instand APs.

Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers the choice for on-prem deployments. We have experienced stability issues with other products such as meraki cloud wireless solutions (althouth it also comes from Cisco). Huawei is offering very competitive wireless solutions but they are yet to be proven in our regions.
