Overall Satisfaction with Aerohive Wireless WAN

This product is used within our office and LAB setup, where multiple rooms and open areas are linked via the same Wireless network, as set up through the Aerohive application. The network itself is used for connectivity and support services by Engineers on-site as well as testing, deploying, and configuring devices remotely.
  • The hardware is well designed and crafted.
  • The software that supports the hardware is user friendly and intuitive.
  • The support by Aerohive is timely and responsive.
  • The floor plan design aspect of the software has improved recently and can further be enhanced.
  • The software update process for the APs has not always been very straightforward.
  • The initial setup and differentiating between the multiple types of APs was a bit confusing.
  • The range and power of the APs.
  • The configuration abilities of the router itself that serves the APs
  • The software is robust and offers many different solutions as your needs grow.
  • The speed of our Wireless network has significantly improved.
  • The range of the network covers our entire user area, simply due to the power and range of the APs as well as the mesh network capabilities.
  • The capability of the software to configure, monitor, and alert based on network traffic and user behavior is almost unmatched.
Since 2003/04, I've evaluated, used, configured, and set up dozens of Wifi networks and none has had the capabilities and complex abilities that Aerohive offers as a solution. During the evaluation period, it was a clear standout from an office and business environment due to the advanced configuration options and security settings that were required.

Aerohive was ahead of the industry when it came to Wireless network hardware and software. Initially, they were one of the first to offer a solution for a busy office environment with a complicated layout and multiple rooms, open areas, and offices that were spread out. The mesh design of the APS was also one of the first of its kind and has proven to be a great solution within our environment.
