VERDICT

Should I use IronWiFi?

Cloud-native WiFi identity platform: managed RADIUS, captive portal, and WiFi ITDR - ironwifi.com

Depends. Buy if you need managed cloud RADIUS, a captive portal, or guest/member WiFi for coworking, hospitality, or MSP use. Skip if your router's built-in guest portal, WPA2-PSK, or self-hosted FreeRADIUS already covers you.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 40+ public sources; independent user-review depth is very thin (1 Trustpilot, 0 G2 seller reviews).
