Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers
I'm a consultant deploying both the new Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers and replacing the old Airos WLC. Most customers are Cisco oriented and often have a Catalyst Center and need a controller for the APs. Often it's the telemetry and the ability to troubleshoot deployments that are the most important aspect after availability and stability.
Pros
- Auto RF
- Managing of multiple sites
- Easy to deploy
Cons
- Better stability for virtual Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers in HA
- Not 9800 directly but the NEAT function to deploy APs in Flexconnect is to restrictive in what commands can be added or removed on the sw port
- I want to be able to run a standalone Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers in a Catalyst Switch not just SDA
With the tagging system is very easy
