We moved from NetSight which was an app to XMC which is web based. It is a snappy interface that offers great insight as to what our switching environment looks like.

Extreme Management Center Likes & Dislikes

Like

Web Interface Great Compass search capabilities Network Maps Launching things like SSH to a device with a right click

Like

We always have more than one network engineer from Extreme onsite which is really very convenient.

Like

The XMC and IQ-SE products that I use for managing the Extreme switches and wireless controllers in my network is very versatile and powerful. I am able to make changes to the Policy/ACL's with a click of a button, I am able to manage the specific pieces of equipment and I can monitor the devices via a comprehensive GUI screen

Dislike

Some of the popup menus like configuration of devices can be clunky. Some options are not explained well in the UXI It occasionally freezes.

Dislike

Extreme network resources if not on board then can delay the resolution of network issues / incidents as they work on different time zones

Dislike

That there do not have more market share and thus it is harder to find staff that are knowledgeable about the equipment

    I have always had a very good experience with Extreme Networks, with my account staff as well as the support staff at the Extreme GTAC. They have always been very attentive and supportive with all of my questions and support needs. Their Policy application is an extremely powerful way to implement user and port based ACL's

    We evaluated many vendors but were pleasantly surprised how much value we received from Extreme's offerings. Very few issues and very reliable. The management interface gave us the detail we needed to diagnose our client issues and mitigate trends where coverage was lacking.

    Good service and good products although not cheap

    I have been working with the Extreme Management Center for several years and I am delighted. Little by little they are introducing new features that greatly facilitate the daily use and also include new functionalities with relative frequency. The only reason why I have considered the change at some point has been for the price, in my opinion somewhat expensive. The network of partners in Spain is good and the after-sales service is almost always efficient
