Take full advantage of ExtremeCloud IQ (the newer version of Hive Manager), you can get so much information out of it and it is so easy to manage and deploy sites with new devices. The ability to manage your devices from anywhere in the world is a big plus point as well. Fully recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to deploy access points from the cloud, doing all configuration before the access point even hits the site is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aerohive?

The Aerohive interface is simple and straightforward while providing complete control of your Aerohive APs. The support team is excellent and will help both in troubleshooting and configuring your setup. There are numerous reporting and monitoring features that include real time data and visual graphs for comparative analysis. It's overall a sleek system that makes managing wireless more accessible to a tech savvy user who may not be familiar with more advanced equipment while still offering more advanced options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aerohive?

The APs sometimes had trouble handing off the signal properly to closer APs, resulting in a lot of complaints of slow users. I worked extensively with Aerohive support and internal network engineers and did a lot of testing and trying different configurations. Nothing seemed to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aerohive:

If you're technically inclined but don't have resources to support enterprise wireless for your business, Aerohive is a good alternative to have control of your wireless networks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aerohive solving and how is that benefiting you?

Aerohive provides a good basic wireless solution for a small business that doesn't have the resources or dedicated team for industry standard enterprise solutions. Their support can get you setup, and the basic day-to-day management is fairly straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having a cloud based solution has it's disadvantages, such as not being able to tunnel user data back to a controller for firewalling, ACL's, and more data analytics. Their web UI is also limited compared to competitors local controller features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
