Greetings to all, We are considering a wireless refresh for our campus and would appreciate some vendor recommendations. While we currently are a Cisco shop, that does not necessarily mean we will be in the future.
Here is our current setup: 1. 3x Cisco 4404 controllers 2. Approx 150 APs. Mixture of 1142n and 3502i models 3. Average 1500 devices at peak hours We have two options. Upgrade our Cisco gear or choose a different vendor. So who do you like and why? Here are the main points that we'd like to know: 1. How are the reporting features? 2. Is the interface easy to use? 3. Are upgrades easy? 4. 802.11ac early support? 5. What are your experiences with support? 6. How expensive? 7. How does it compare with Cisco's offerings? Note: This project does not include our dorms, this is handled by a third party. Any other valuable insights are welcome! Thank you for your time.
