News Facts

• Aerohive (News - Alert) is one of five vendors to be classified as a Strong Performer in the Forrester Wave report for Q3 2014. According to Forrester Research, "All of the vendors in the Strong Performers category offer a solid wireless platform that can be successfully deployed and managed in any regular office environment. However, each builds upon that base and delivers something more for complex or underserved business environments."
• The Forrester Wave report evaluated vendors based on 58 criteria grouped into three high-level buckets assessing Current Offering, Vendor Strategy and Market Presence. The criteria were grouped into three high-level buckets current offering, strategy and market presence - which, determined the Forrester Wave rankings of 10 significant solution providers invited to participate in the assessment.
• Aerohive received the highest score in the Current Offering category, which evaluated offerings based on scalability, shareability, standardization, simplicty and security.
• According to Forrester, Aerohive is "a relative newcomer in the wireless industry, the company has quickly grown by introducing simplicity in wireless. The company is also instrumental in shifting wireless from a centralized architecture to a distributed cooperative control one, which is effective in distributed industries like insurance. Historically, Aerohive's focus has been solely on Wireless LAN, but its acquisition of Pareto gave it a unique set of branch office capabilities, while its customer demands pushed it into offering switches. Aerohive's HiveManager®, appliance or cloud based, sets the standard on simplifying network operations."
• According to Forrester, "For example, Aerohive's wireless solution drives wireless configuration and operational complexity out in highly distributed environments-such as franchises-that require not just wireless and wired connections but integrated Layer 4 through 7 services."
