We have a few Airtame devices (not a full scale deployment) and in general they work well. Unicast discovery using DNS names in a hierarchical network is a beautiful thing in my opinion not to mention they do not have the scan off channel to 149 for the airdrop protocol problem. I think they can also use multicast if you want them to. The OS support is very broad, even Chromebooks and Ubuntu work. One negative is that I think you cannot share the whole screen on Android - just a PPT or DOC, etc. unlike the Chromecast which allows sharing the whole screen.

Has anyone tested this so far? Seems to be very straight forward bu we are concerned about its performance within a segmented network environment. We are an Aruba shop, with Airgroup. Appreciate any comments.
