We manage complex networks with seamless guest and user access while ensuring device authorization
I use enterprise connections where users need to be authorized against radius servers. This feature is common across various products, including ExtremeWireless. Generally, the network management is valuable to me. However, I am unsure how the security architecture enhances our network protection as we typically use the latest firmware for access points. Nonetheless, we had some troubles with roaming, requiring me to install specific firmware to avoid issues.

Cons

"The ability to integrate with network devices from other vendors would be helpful."
"They could provide different product models. Additionally, there could be a feature to manage devices."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not as expensive as some and is scalable to our needs."
"ExtremeWireless is subscription-based for both cloud and on-prem solutions, and it's quite expensive."
"I rate the price of Extreme Wireless a three out of five."
"The price of the solution overall is expensive. Additionally, the controller and license are expensive. We pay for an annual subscription."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Extreme isn't the most expensive, but it's not a low-cost solution, and because there are no big volumes, you don't receive significant discounts, making the final price higher."
"There are both paid and free licenses of the cloud environment, with only basic functionality in the free version."
"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"I pay monthly for the solution."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"Its price is very good. This wireless system totally costs about 30,000 euros, and some of the other solutions cost about 45,000 euros. It is a difference of 15,000 euros, which is quite a lot of money."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
