Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers

We use Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers as our primary WLCs and lost config out of nowhere. Was asking us to enter country code and did put us on 0 day config which we ended up factory resetting after dealing with TAC for around 10 hours straight on call. Not happy.

Pros

  • Main WLC

Cons

  • Firmware upgrade bricked the device twice so far
  • In my opinion, cannot rely on when it let us down when upgrading
High availability failed when 2x WLCs decided not to talk to each other
