Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers

I'm a network admin who is using the Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers in our business to manage our many wifi SSIDs--both WLANs and guest internet VLANs. We have many users and many access points, and this product solves the problem of management among all those devices and users.
  • Easy-to-use web interface
  • Fast push of settings and firmware to APs
  • Simple management of many SSIDs and networks
  • Upgrades can be fairy difficult
  • Licensing is always a sore point for Cisco products
  • Among the top of wireless LAN controller price ranges
  • Saved IT admins time managing access points
  • Saving helpdesk time diagnosing Wi-Fi issues for users
  • Cost of APs has gone up to stay compatible with wireless LAN controllers

Yes

Would you buy Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers again?

Yes

I can easily say that if you have the budget that allows for it, I would quickly recommend Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers to anyone with lots of APs to manage or many or complex WLAN configurations. There are other less expensive products from other companies, but if you want a solid choice that rarely fails, then Cisco is it.
