Cisco Wireless can be used for a wireless solution anywhere you require.
Cisco wireless plus, Cisco routers, or Cisco switches, when combining them together they work very well. Some of the controller features are available now in the Cisco switches and routers. Most companies have Cisco as their backbone infrastructure and if you have Cisco solutions already in place, you should continue with Cisco.
Overall good featured product.
I have been using Cisco Wireless for more than one year.
Cisco Wireless is highly stable.
The scalability of Cisco Wireless is good.
We have approximately 300 users using the solution.
The installation is very tiring and painful, the process could be easier.
We have completed the installation of eight access point routers in three days, and this was because of some issues with the infrastructure. We had a customer that had 10 access points and the controller was there. It was simple, it was only a one-day process to put it in, connect with the controller, and it is configured.
Other solutions, such as Oracle and Aruba, tend to be less complicated.
We have two people that are required at a minimum to do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.
There are annual subscriptions to use this solution. I have not been able to understand the licensing of Cisco. Some of the Cisco executives were not able to understand them either. When you first start out the price is zero but when it comes to a time of renewal you have to pay.
I cannot say the solution should be cheaper because it has a good price point. It is not that they are very expensive, but compared to other solutions available in the market they are expensive. However, they are premium products that make the price suitable for what benefits you receive.
I have evaluated Oracle and Aruba solutions.
I would recommend this solution to others.
I rate Cisco Wireless an eight out of ten.
