Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers

We use Cisco Wireless LAN Controller 9800 as a centralized solution to manage all access points, we have indoor and out door models.As a local government, some access points are in critical infrastructure, like hospital and some health unities, also we use it in administrative buildings, many schools and parks. In total, near 200 different places.The use cases are in administrative and guest networks. Also we integrate WLC 9800 with Cisco DNAC. Administrative networks use radius autentication, and the users get the VLAN where AP's are installed.
  • MAC Filtering
  • Easy troubleshoot
  • Very nice GUI
  • Robustness
  • No heatmaps

The integration with Cisco solutions are excellet, with WLC 9800 plus Cisco DNAC the troubleshoot are made easy, if you have 3D maps on DNAC, you can navigate on the place were the problem is marked and see how the signal are near it. All connections are stable and trustfull.

It's well in administrative networks, also you can integrate with active directory users to delivery access to one or more wireless networks. You can easylly create many SSID's with different vlan access and deploy it at the same AP.
Is possible create SSID's with 802.1x or PSK in the same AP.
