While I agree with Ryan and others about user / client certificates, I believe
the original topic was RADIUS Server certificates, not user.

I know Lutron is a great company with great products but I also know they are
very expensive. Unlike Eaton, Lutron also uses proprietary frequencies (I
believe Clear Connect works in the 400s), which from a wireless coexistence
perspective is excellent, but it comes with the higher price tag.
That is exactly what my last message was talking about

Hi Manny,
I'm curious, why is your facilities department looking to replace Lutron? We
are being asked to look at them as a lighting control solution on our campus.
Thanks,
Mike

We use Aerohive, we are approaching ~1,900 WAPs across 5 campuses.

I’m curious about the requirement that controllers be “cloud based” and what
business requirement that maps to.
Trying to understand what a cloud based controller give your business that an
on-premises controller does not. How that translates to better experience,

1. I recommend Aruba as well.
2. The AP’s are rock solid, reasonably priced, and easy to set up.
3. I have had varying experiences with support, licensing, and with upgrades
(both good and bad).
4. I would ask why you have a requirement that the controller be cloud-based

Definitely include Aruba in your list. While no solution is perfect and
all have their quirks I’ve found Aruba to be a very solid solution, well
supported, with a large user base that can be utilized to bounce ideas and
problems off of. As with most things the VAR you choose is often just as
We are using Meraki (cloud) as well as Cisco (controller). For the cloud

Those are good words to put in my mouth. In addition to these operational
benefits, there is a strong philosophical commitment at the C-level to
cloud-based services whenever it is feasible, so we don't go with on-prem
unless there is no feasible way to do it with cloud.
I am very appreciative
Another +1 on Aruba. We've also had varying experiences with their support

I don’t want to put words in John’s mouth, but operating controllers requires
time and effort beyond what’s required to manage configurations. Scaling,
security, software upgrades, etc., all require resources but contribute nothing
to the user experience. For us the benefits of hosting our
