Hi Mathieu, We have been using BlueSocket (Now Adtran) for years. They offer an on-prem VM controller solution, and a cloud-based option. https://adtran.com/web/page/portal/Adtran/group/4044
We are a Cisco shop for all-things network - except wireless. Adtran/BlueSocket’s products, functionality/performance, and pricing are pretty well-rounded and solid, and integrate very nicely within our Cisco wired network. If you have any detailed questions, please feel free to reach out to me off list. __________________________________ __________________________________ Fishel Erps, Sr. Network & Infrastructure Engineer School of Visual Arts <x-apple-data-detectors://0/1>136 W 21st St., 8th Floor <x-apple-data-detectors://0/1> <x-apple-data-detectors://0/1>New York, NY, 10011 <x-apple-data-detectors://0/1> LL: 212-592-2416 E: fe...@sva.edu _______________________________ Please excuse any typographical errors as this e-mail has been sent from my mobile device _______________________________ On Feb 3, 2021, at 03:44, Mathieu Sturm <mathieu.st...@hogent.be> wrote: Hello all, We are a Cisco shop when it comes to wireless (Cisco AP’s, controllers and ISE). Since Cisco is becoming a nightmare when it comes to licensing and software quality we want to explore new vendors. We are looking at Fortinet and Aruba. Any thoughts on these concerning licensing model, software/hardware quality, user community, support?
