With a configured Wireless LAN Controller, like in our enviroment, the deploy are quickly, like plug and play.
We use about 400 Cisco Catalyst 9100 access points in 70 different buildings, and everything works very well. Users have a stable connection, and when we need to deliver a new WLAN, it's simple.
We use the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller 9800, as it was configured and working, the Cisco Catalyst 9100 access points boot and join on the WLC, so the unic delay is to select the policies and tag to deploy on the AP.
Of course yes, we can delivery WLAN in all our buildings, near 200 different places on the city, that was not possible without the use of the WLC.
We selected the 9100 access points because the wi-fi 6 coverage and throughput that they delivery.
It's not the cheapest solution, but I'm sure is the best one to delivery a stable connection. But is important to calculate the density to keep a good connection to everyone.
At home it isn't a good solution because the price, but for companies it's a a good choice for a long term.
