Aerohive Wireless (legacy products)
Overall Satisfaction with ExtremeWireless
Aerohive has been deployed within 2 of our many divisions within the company. We have found the Aerohive product to be far more robust than Ruckus, or Aruba in providing ease of access, policy creation, and overall management. We also use a lot of wireless scanner guns, which makes wireless more than just a critical device... we live or die by our wireless connectivity.
Aerohive Devices rarely have to be set up manually, so interference is minimal... even on the 2.4 gigahertz spectrum. This makes my life as an engineer much easier as I don't have to change things that don't need to be changed..

- Ease of deployment - Setting up an AP is easy as powering it on, the controller finds it. Apply a policy, and move forward with your day.
- Ease of management - Policy updates and firmware updates are point and click
- Amazing Radios - Signal strength is unparalelled for enterprise wireless environments.
- More visibility into your product certification process. - Certifications are a great way to show employers you're serious about the products they have. Not all of us have the means to go to a class just to take your test. Ruckus provides this much easier than aerohive, free online training, and 60 bucks for a test.
- Account execs need to be more engaged, resellers provide better turn around than aerohive account reps.
- Add task templates, or at least make them easier to access if they're available.
- Less downtime to our business units that use Aerohive
- Radios are very compatible with most wireless devices out today
- I spend less time managing Aerohive than any other wireless product
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.
