Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers
We use this controller in our office to manage the internal and guest WiFi network. We also implement WiFi networks for our clients where this controller model is used. This new family of controllers has made our work easier because the CLI configurations use the Catalyst syntax, in fact, it is very similar to the Catalyst switches with which we are already very familiar. The web interface has been updated and is now more user-friendly.
- Configuration and monitoring
- Excellent performance

- I would like to see heatmaps and more details for user tracking, but for that, you can use DNA Spaces and DNA Center instead.

Having all these Cisco products in the same network has helped us a lot to have an approved, perfectly monitored, and managed WiFi network. We have control of all aspects of the WiFi network. In addition, you have complete visibility of the health of our wireless networks, heat maps, etc.
Surely, yes, now it is easier with the use of labels to assign AP groups or RF Profiles through the Web interface.
In this case, we are a Cisco partner and we have to offer our customers the newest products. The Cisco 5520 controller is already from an old family and that is why we decided to go with the Cisco Catalyst 9800-40 Wireless Controller.
