Meraki and Extreme Networks are both considerable choices when it comes to choosing a network solutions provider.

Extreme Networks are industry pioneers with advanced features driven by machine learning and artificial intelligence, yet presented in an understandable and transparent way.

Acquired by Cisco Systems in December 2012, Meraki is the leading cloud-managed IT company with products including wireless solutions, network equipment and security offerings which can all be managed from their user-friendly web portal. Meraki is known for its simplicity and cost effectiveness.
From Omida’s 2020 Cloud‐Managed Networking Report, Cisco has a market share of 65% in revenue and 54% in device management. This is a market segment that Meraki invented and with the backing from Cisco has been immensely successful. In 2007 they were selected by San Francisco to power their “Free the Net” campaign which at its peak supplied 100,000 citizens with free internet connectivity.
Over 500,000 customers across the globe make use of Merakis products to make their network faster, smarter and easier. Meraki’s goal is to simplify networking, their products can be unpackaged and ready to go within minutes. Some networking knowledge is required though to configure features like spanning tree, VLANs and routing. This is all done through their management application which provides customers with a “single pane of glass” over their network infrastructure. The dashboard can be accessed from anywhere in the world and even has an app for iOS and Android. However this does come with a cost, with each device requiring a subscription that can be purchased. As an example, a one year wireless license will cost around $150 and a three year license $300, as expected you’ll save by purchasing a longer lasting license. It's important to note that if your license slips and you miss payments the device will stop passing traffic and your network will stop working.
Extreme Networks was founded in 1996 with the target of developing the third-generation of LAN switches that utilize the power of Gigabit Ethernet technology. In 2002, the same year that the IEEE published the standard for 10Gbit/s Ethernet over fiber for LAN (802.3ae), they released both the first Gig-E and 10Gig-E switch. Since then their products have kept evolving and they now offer a large assortment including wired and wireless network equipment, security and software for managing, analytics and user policies. Extreme Networks have a strong focus on machine learning and artificial intelligence, and their products reflect this. They believe in making ML/AI understandable, yet still offering all the capabilities to allow faster, smarter and more efficient harnessing of data. This is done in a transparent way allowing the customer to see, verify and trust the machine's recommendations. In 2019 they acquired Aerohive Networks, who were an emerging cloud-managed networking company.
Extreme has grown to be the biggest competitor to Cisco’s Meraki and currently hold a 10% market share in both revenue and devices managed in the cloud-managed space.
From global enterprises to small town high schools, Extreme caters to all sizes of networks allowing customers to better understand their user's and develop their organization. With over 50,000 customers all possessing the same goal of customer-driven networking. Since 2014 they have been the official sponsor of the NFL. ExtremeCloudIQ is their powerful SaaS cloud-based management platform which allows users to analyze and maintain their network. Customers have a choice of four plans, each more advanced and feature heavy then the last.
