Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers

Mainly use it as wireless management and controlling, I like the telemetry feature via DNAC to get more client performance insight as well as easy deployment on access points
  • Enhanced deployment and mitigating new AP join and does not automatically advertise first 16 SSID unlike AIROS
  • More client performance status and assurance to detail user performance and pinpoint
  • Easy patching
  • when you filter APs or client it clears the filter, wish it stays till you clear it by you.
  • sometimes GUI and CLI do not sync real time that may need improvement

Yes it does a lot in control for policies and managing client connectivity via policies. Also like the part once AP joins it does NOT automatically advertise SSID without been manually add policy.
