	Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued)
Considered Both Products	Discontinued Products Verified User Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) Compare to the Cisco Aironet 2800 serie there is not a really big difference. The 3800 is more powerful. Regarding the Meraki access points the solution is really different than the Cisco Aironet 3800. Both are good but are maybe better in some situations. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) Compared in a matter of hardware support and functionalities such as the amount of special flow that each model has 2x2, 2x3, 3x3 4x4 etc. From this, the maximum connection speeds are derived from the 20, 40, 80 or 160 MHz channel width support that also influences the maximum … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) Our selection of Cisco Aironet Access Points versus the Meraki Access Points was entirely on a political basis with our vendor. In the future, we are actually looking to migrate towards the Meraki system. Even though the Meraki feature-set is lacking, we really only require … Incentivized Helpful? Levi Kiser Network Analyst in Information Technology at Midcontinent Independent System Operator (Utilities, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) Ubiquiti also provides pretty good wireless coverage for a much cheaper cost, but they do not offer the support and level of management that Cisco provides. I used Meraki before it was purchased by Cisco, and at the time, it also did not have quite as good of coverage, but the … Incentivized Helpful? Preston Collins Sr Director of Enterprise Services in Information Technology at Envistacom (Defense & Space, 201-500 employees) Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) We compared Cisco Acess Point to Aruba and while we found benefits in both, the biggest advantage for us was the fact that we were already an existing Cisco shop and the learning curve to implement Aruba access points over Cisco would have been too costly and time-consuming. Incentivized Helpful? Raymond Stensholt Mobility Solutions Architect in Engineering at Myriad Supply (Computer Hardware, 51-200 employees) Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) The Cisco wireless APs are amazing. They provide great density and performance as well. When combined with use and the Cisco DNA Center, you get a really dynamic environment that enables mobility seamlessly. Other vendors have parts of these solutions, but not like the Cisco … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) Far superior and it fits nicely into our ISE strategy. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) Cisco offers much better client support and management than Aruba. We have not used Aruba in over 8 years though, so they likely have improved their management interface. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) Each vendor's access points have their own pros and cons. As a system integrator, we can identify which is best for that customer. Incentivized Helpful? Ashveen Nandan Manager Information & Communications Technolofy in Information Technology at Fiji Airports (Airlines/Aviation, 501-1000 employees) Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) Some alternative options were considered and PoC was carried out during the procurement process. Our experience and evaluation basically proved Cisco had the upper hand due to its integration capabilities with other components of the network, such as switching, Routers, … Incentivized Helpful? Daniel Hosking Manager, Domain Architecture - Infrastructure and Smart Systems in Professional Services at NEC Australia (Computer Networking, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) Cisco APS are great but tend to be expensive in the current market. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) Why we ended up with Cisco Access Points is purely the overall architecture and capabilities they provide. As we are using Cisco Identity Service Engine with identity-based enterprise networking, the Aironet Access Points just fit like a glove. And do not forget the added value … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) Compared to Motorola/Symbol - it is easier to manage and scale the solution. Using the controllers one can build up avWiFi network to spread access to new building using only a few clicks. There is also functionality to build a mesh network with APs communicating with each … Incentivized Helpful? Jitu Mani Das Information Security Manager in Information Technology at SPXFLOW (Machinery, 10,001+ employees) Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) Aruba is also well known but Cisco products, I feel, are more reliable and its features are uniquely designed. The support team of Cisco is more proactive when compared to Aruba. Cisco has been in the market for a long time and it has the potential to change the wireless … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) In our organization we are implementing both for different areas. Meraki is not directly connected to the organization and the Aironets are in the offices directly connected to the organization. Incentivized Helpful? Mike Pace Network Services Administrator in Information Technology at Davis County Government (Government Administration, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) We evaluated the Avaya Wireless Lan at the time of this purchase. It was cumbersome to setup so we eventually decided to stay with Cisco. Incentivized Helpful? Carlos Daniel Casañas Bertolo ஃ Director in Information Technology at Leverage - Advisory & Consultancy (Computer & Network Security, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) Cisco created a new category with this solution, simply does not have competition at the level of its technology and performance.

Michael Vucci Manager of Network Services in Information Technology at Salve Regina University (Higher Education, 501-1000 employees) Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) Again, with Cisco Aironet Access Points, it comes down to the reliability, durability, and ease of use. The warranty and support are extremely good as well. Incentivized Helpful? Montasir Azad Sr. Information Security Lead in Information Technology at Choice Hotels International (Hospitality, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) UNIFI has severe traffic drop issue.

Verified User Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) We utilize Cisco for all of our routing, switching, and wifi. By having a single provider for the infrastructure, we don't have any integration issues and have one place to go - Cisco TAC - for any woes. Incentivized Helpful? Mark Ciecior Technical Solutions Engineer in Information Technology at Carrier Access IT (Information Technology and Services, 51-200 employees) Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) The HP and Avaya management tools look like child's play compared to a Cisco wireless controller.

Manuel J Gomez IT Infrastructure Supervisor in Information Technology at Holy Cross Energy (Utilities, 51-200 employees) Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) Cisco Aironet Access Points are far better and don't fail as often. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (discontinued) The usage scenario was different. I don't see this as a benefit versus harm comparison, necessarily.
