Access point management is described. In an implementation, a method includes selecting one of a plurality of clients, in which each of the clients has a client profile which describes the client's experience with one or more of a plurality of access points. The selecting is performed based on one or more of the client profiles. A determination is made as to whether at least one of the access points utilized by the selected client should be replaced by another one of the access points. The determination includes establishing whether a difference between a connectivity score for the at least one access point and a connectivity score for the other access point exceeds an inertia value.

Capacity management is described. In an implementation, a method includes executing a module on a computing device to monitor use of a product during a measurement interval to determine a maximum capacity of the product used during the measurement interval and whether a capacity failure point is reached during the measurement interval. A learned capacity limit is set based on the monitoring for determining whether one or more of a plurality of clients, if any, are to receive a list which references at least the monitored product, wherein the learned capacity limit is set such that when the capacity failure point is not reached, the learned capacity limit is set according to the maximum capacity.

Relatively quality value is described. In an implementation, a method includes calculating a mean success rate for a plurality of products utilized by a plurality of clients. For each of the products, a degree is determined, to which, either a first set of the clients or a second set of the clients predominate. The first set of clients have a success rate that is greater than or equal to the mean success rate and the second set of clients have a success rate that is less than or equal to the mean success rate. For each of the products, a relative quality value is calculated based on the mean success rate and the determined degree.
