Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers

We use the Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers in our environment to manage and keep updated our Wireless Access Points. The Access points in our environment originally were not keeping up with the bandwidth and traffic that was going through the Access Points. When we finally updated the Access points we were able to allow more traffic through. The traffic was able to be filtered depending on the different content we wanted to allow or restrict. The Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers also gives us insight to rogue access points or devices that are trying to connect to our Access points or our controller. This LAN controller really was a game changer for monitoring our wireless traffic.
  • Monitor Rogues Access Points
  • Allows traffic restrictions
  • Only has to make changes to one controller and deploy to the Access Points
  • The Interface for the controller
  • Web GUI to be more accessible like Meraki
  • Have the controller deploy-able to the cloud
  • Saved Money on how much bandwidth we needed overall
  • Able to support more access points without buying a ton of infrastructure
  • Support for the APs and Controllers was absolutely fabulous
