Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers

We use Cisco wireless LAN Controllers to control many offices in our company. They help manage the ability to break down access and functionality of how the wireless experience works for groups, departments, employees and guest access. We use it to manage the remote office and corporate office APs. The use of mobile devices has increased, which is why there is also a need for a robust and secure wireless infrastructure, all of which I find with Cisco.
  • Ease of management.
  • Reliability.
  • Robustness.
  • Sometimes the CLI based technology has failed which lowers customer respect.
  • Wed page customization.
  • More analytics are always better.
  • Support.
  • Widely deployed.
  • The cost is high and can deter investment, but if you sell the idea on the ROI, one can easily get such a solution approved.
Aruba has some strengths compared to Cisco's wireless technology. When thinking about the features, Aruba has driven the enterprise wireless sector for a long time with a strong feature strength. There is not much difference these days, but Aruba still has some features like user-based firewall and some RF protection mechanisms. In addition, the Aruba OS GUI is far ahead of the Cisco WLC GUI. When you stack Cisco's wireless network with security/security solutions, it becomes much more valuable, so you can get more discounts.

The Cisco wireless solution is appropriate for where wireless connectivity is required and to perform some work on your system. The business segment, the corporate segment, SMEs and the access points of the education sector adapt well to Cisco's scenarios and equipment. Cisco Access Points adapt well to any scenario and are very reliable compared to other technological providers.
