Is ExtremeWireless worth the cost?
We are running Ubiquiti APs for a separate network need in one of our buildings - which we are also happy with. But the difference between Ubiquiti and ExtremeWireless is vast - I cannot find most of the settings I'm used to seeing with ExtremeWireless in the Ubiquiti GUI. That said - you pay for what you get. ExtremeWireless is about 5x the cost per AP than Ubiquiti is. The reliability of uptime with the hardware, as well as the cloud service from ExtremeWireless, has been fantastic to utilize.
sub tier, but still a great product at a price point lower that the ideal vendor of choice

Aerohive-Needs work
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.
- 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.
The Aerohive wireless devices are comparable to Cisco's wireless solution, in regard to performance, features, and management.
But the cost of utilizing Cisco Wireless Access Points versus using the Aerohive access points is staggering. Since our wireless access points do not maintain a constant heavy load, we chose a more cost effective solution and have not had many issues with them.

Aerohive is Amazing!
Aerohive is an amazing product. Cisco wasn't able to stack up when it comes to controller redundancy, backup, etc. No need to have special software to just have a secondary controller... which drives down the cost.

Aerohive Wireless: It just works!
- Cisco Meraki Wireless WAN, Aruba Networks Wireless and Dell Wireless
Aerohive's only meaningful competitor is Meraki; I'd say Aerohive/Meraki is 6 in one hand, half dozen in the other. You honestly can't go wrong with either, but I do not regret choosing Aerohive!
- Aruba Networks Wireless, Cisco Wireless and Citrix NetScaler
I've used both Aruba and Cisco (traditional, not Meraki) for wireless, and each have their own strengths. Aruba offers a lot of feature functionality, though the interface is difficult and confusing to use (this was ~4 years ago). Cisco wireless is fairly straightforward to set up and expand, though features are more limited. Aerohive's benefit is the easy+speed of deployment. I've also used the Citrix NetScaler SSL VPN soft client and that works fairly well, though it doesn't compare like-for-like due to the fact that it's software vs. Aerohive, which is hardware.
