Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points

Other
Currently being deployed through 3 buildings by the whole organization. We also use them for guests who are not in the organization. For internal they allow access to internal/external apps for laptop users. For guests, they allow guests to get internet resources during their time at the company.

Pros

  • In recent years they have been reliable in saying connected to controller.
  • Have had good failover to other controllers.
  • Roaming has been good.

Cons

  • Some Aironet have had problems keeping config on reloads in the past.
  • In the past there has been strange hold timer issues.
  • The Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points have been able to provide a mobile collaborative space.
The Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points themselves have not provided that many headaches within the organization.
Tags have been able to make sites modular as needed.
We have been able to get Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points up within minutes of unboxing. Mass deployments only limited on human ability to move fast.
  • Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued)
