Fairly quick to get up and running with the Cisco solution, after the cabling and physical installation work is completed. There are useful guides and deployment documents that go over the initial setup for installation. The guides are most useful to go through the initial setup process fairly quickly and can be deployed while the physical installation progresses.

Cisco is the preferred WiFi solution worldwide. Typically any support issues are resolved with an internet search. The Cisco solution is typically one of the first to release new WiFi standard-based solutions. Also, their solution works the first time out of the box. Many of the other products may require a call to their technical support because of software flaws or unsupported scenarios. Not so with Cisco. It works out of the box, has many available use cases, and has great support if needed.
