ZD1200 vs ZD3000

[mur797979]

Good afternoon. Please enlighten the beginner. ZD1200 includes 5 licenses. There is a certain functionality. (let's say I plan to install 5 points)

There is a controller C120 (a full analog of the ZD1200 ...so they write), is there also a license for 5 points?

There is a ZD3000, but what about the built-in licenses? And I'm also interested (sales claim that it has much richer functionality, monitoring, etc.) Is that true? It will stand in the basement, let it buzz, no problem.

I plan to have 5 R710 points, up to 200 customers.

I also plan to buy the ICX 7150-C12P. so that there would be a single ecosystem

Thanks guys

Hi @mur797979,

ZD3K and ZD1200 both are EOL, but if you want to choose between the two then I will suggest ZD1200 because it supports the latest version, unlike ZD3k which was announced EOL few years back.

You can purchase additional licenses if your plan is to go beyond 5 AP licenses.

Functionality wise ZD1200 is better than ZD3K.

My recommendation would be to use our Cloud platform instead, "RUCKUS One". Latest up-to-date features, no problem with scalability, buy additional AP licenses as your organization grow, supports Switches as well and many more.
