Rated 5 out of 5 by from Has a good interface that helps us monitor wireless devices extensively but is slow when there are too many users What is our primary use case? We use Aruba Wireless to connect our laptops and other devices and to provide guest access. We are in the healthcare industry, with approximately twenty hospitals in India and an equal number in the UAE region. Hence, we use this wireless solution to give access to our corporate staff and the guest network. What is most valuable? The Aruba Central portal is a good interface that helps us monitor wireless devices extensively. Furthermore, the access points we use, mainly API nine zero five, are working well. What needs improvement? One of the issues with Aruba Wireless is that when twenty or more people connect to the same access point, the device works too slowly. The density of the access point needs to be increased to better manage this load. For how long have I used the solution? We have been using Aruba Wireless for approximately three to four years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? Stability is not an issue; I would rate it between eight and nine. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? I would rate the scalability around a six to seven due to the density issue where no more than twenty people can connect to one access point, unlike Cisco or Allied Telesis. How are customer service and support? Technical support from Aruba is very good when it is direct. However, the issue arises when the support is given through partners not adequately trained. When escalated to Aruba, support is satisfying, but some partners are not up to the mark. Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? We have used a combination of vendors. Some hospitals use Aruba, while others use Cisco, Allied Wireless, or RACUS devices. How was the initial setup? The initial setup is easy. The configuration is straightforward, often involving just plug and play, taking about fifteen minutes to half an hour. What about the implementation team? The deployment was done by Aruba through their vendors. When we expand, we handle it ourselves. What was our ROI? It's too early to see a return on investment, as we have been using Aruba Wireless for three to four years. ROI is typically evaluated after five years. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? The pricing of Aruba Wireless is well-priced, comparable to competitors. I don't have any significant issues with the pricing. Which other solutions did I evaluate? We have experience with different vendors, including Cisco, Allied Telesis, and RACUS, which allows us to distinguish between the services provided. What other advice do I have? I recommend Aruba Wireless based on its technology. However, newer products have been withheld from offers due to their perceived cost, which could be improved by the sales team providing better insights and updates. Which deployment model are you using for this solution? Hybrid Cloud If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Comprehensive security and seamless authentication and good integrations What is our primary use case? I use Private Dhiman in the corporate sector, mainly for banking and security purposes. ClearPass is one product available for this, which authenticates users with MPSK features. It has many integrated features, including Azure AD and multiple active directories, making it easy to authenticate. What is most valuable? A product, ClearPass, is used, which authenticates users with MPSK features. It has many features and is integrated with Azure AD and multiple active directories, making authentication easy. What needs improvement? Mobile Wireless zero-touch provisioning is required, as well as Verizon. Zero-touch provisioning is needed, and although a cloud version is available, like Aruba Central, easier provisioning and configuration would be beneficial in the future. For how long have I used the solution? I have experienced using Dhiman for six to nine months. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? The price is high and not too reasonable. It is very high compared to other products. It is equivalent to Cisco products. What other advice do I have? The overall product review rating is nine out of ten.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Stable network management enhanced by cost-efficient improvements What is our primary use case? We are using Aruba's high-end switches such as the Aruba 600 and 6000, as well as Aruba access points. How has it helped my organization? So far, it works well and the product is stable. What is most valuable? The most beneficial feature for network management is stability. What needs improvement? The product should be more affordable, especially the cloud and console for the Aruba product as it is currently very expensive. For how long have I used the solution? I have been working with Aruba Wireless for a few years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The product is stable, and it has good availability in our country and region. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? I would rate their scalability as ten out of ten. How are customer service and support? I would rate their technical support nine out of ten. Both for Aruba Instant and Aruba Wireless, technical support would receive this rating. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? I have not worked with any other wireless products before Aruba. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? The pricing seems reasonable compared to other brands; however, it is too expensive for smaller businesses. What other advice do I have? I would rate the overall solution nine out of ten. I hope for a licensing model that makes it more affordable for smaller businesses. Disclaimer: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer:Partner

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A stable, scalable solution, and easy to deploy What is our primary use case? The hospital's internal network is used for communications between staff, including emails and direct point-to-point access. One of the most challenging features of the network is its ability to facilitate live video communications between staff in different parts of the world that can view operations live. We use Aruba Wireless to help facilitate the three requirements of always on-time, on-live, and on-direct. In certain cases, I have to communicate with another surgery room, whose call may be back to back or parallel in that same venue. What is most valuable? The most useful feature of this product is the configuration that allows us to have several areas covered with one unit. However, when we have to make maintenance to that unit, the other units can go back and support the one that we have in maintenance. This back-to-back service or this come-alone service is the best thing for us. If I have to remove the unit that we have in surgery, I know that another unit or two can take its place. What needs improvement? The most important thing that needs to be improved is the internal web feature. This allows all our units to use this as an internal GPS to locate somebody or some elements. However, the problem is that they need another unit different from the 535. This point is not good because we put that on this unit, and changed it from 515 to 535. For this unit, just to enable the possibility of locating equipment, we have very expensive equipment in the hospital and we put a GPS stack, so the system can track. We put them in all the time, but we need another unit to make it functional. Aruba can improve this by including the GPS stack in each unit. This would reduce our maintenance work. Aruba Wireless needs to provide more visibility into the differences between their models so we can better understand them. The changes between the 515 and the 535 are just scalable in one step; We don't feel that one unit is going to be better in so many ways. Instead, it is just one change. The scale from one model to another is very short and because of this we are going to try to save money, we're going to pick up the lowest model because the newer model, doesn't have many additional features. The bad things about the product are the price, the information about the product, and the time it takes to deliver the product. For how long have I used the solution? I have used the solution within 12 months. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The heat map is already running and it is very stable. There are no issues with the corners of the building, except for the sign, which I think is covered well. I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? I give the scalability of the solution a nine out of ten. How are customer service and support? As we had to present our submission or change a model to another, the technical support was very bad. The work I have to do to research the difference between the models and compare them is all manual. When we asked the factory, what the differences between the models are and what is going to be the advantage from one another. The training can't support me. I have to do all the research myself. We asked the representative, and we had conversations with the factory, and nobody tells us it is a small change, instead they say it was a software issue. When we have to present the submission, the presentation has to be very complete with all the technical information, with all the features and we have to say this is a processor that works in this area, this works at this speed. The technical support could not help with any of our required information. How would you rate customer service and support? Negative How was the initial setup? The initial setup is very easy because we change all the models. We have around 1,000 units and we changed all of them in one week. What about the implementation team? The implementation is completed in-house by our team for our customers. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? Aruba Wireless is expensive. The balance between quality and price is there, but the cost is still high. I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten. What other advice do I have? I give the solution a nine out of ten. Eight IT people are required for the maintenance of the solution. The first thing I'm going to do is check all the features to make sure they meet our requirements. The step from one model to another is very important. There are little changes, and we have to review a lot to know the difference between the models, and what the major advantage between them are. In PeerSpot, we've seen the difficult differentiation, but the compliment of the functionality, how does it work, what is the benefit that I get with each model in the field? What is the difference between the software, and the versions? Is it throughput out? It's a factor that we need to consider. It doesn't address the major concerns, and I check every single specialized page and I don't see anybody saying, "Okay, five megabytes is a huge improvement in throughput out."

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Stable, with a guest management feature and good technical support What is our primary use case? We're using Aruba Wireless as a wireless access point, particularly Aruba AP-505. We're also using Aruba Wireless for guest management purposes. What is most valuable? For my organization, the most critical feature of Aruba Wireless is guest management. What needs improvement? An area for improvement in Aruba Wireless is creating a DMZ. Without Aruba ClearPass, you need to allow guess access directly via the internet, which means you need to implement the security in between, so this is what I'd like Aruba to improve in the product. Another area for improvement in Aruba Wireless is delivery because right now, in the COVID-19 pandemic, the product doesn't have much availability. There's a limited supply of semiconductors, so I want Ariba to increase Aruba Wireless production. The product needs to be available and delivered to customers faster. For how long have I used the solution? I've been working with Aruba Wireless since 2016. What do I think about the stability of the solution? I would rate the stability of Aruba Wireless as nine out of ten. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? From a scalability point of view, I don't see any challenges with scaling Aruba Wireless. After all, my organization only has one office and only needs approximately fifty APs. How are customer service and support? Aruba Wireless has good technical support. Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? We used Cisco, the older technology, before using Aruba Wireless. We were not getting guest management as a feature on Cisco, while Aruba Wireless came up with guest management via Aruba ClearPass, so we started using Aruba Wireless. How was the initial setup? The initial setup for Aruba Wireless was easy. It was so simple. My organization used it as a standalone solution. Deploying the product took approximately six months. What about the implementation team? We implemented Aruba Wireless through a consultant. Our experience with the consultant was good. He provided good support without the need for any intervention. The product was implemented well and working per our requirements. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? The commercial department handles the Aruba Wireless license for my organization, so I cannot comment on the product's pricing. What other advice do I have? I have experience with Aruba Wireless. My organization is an Aruba Wireless customer. My organization has three administrators of the product. Currently, there is no plan to increase Aruba Wireless usage. I'd tell anyone looking to implement the product that Aruba Wireless works well in my environment. I have no complaints about it, so I can only say this. Overall, I'd rate Aruba Wireless as eight out of ten. Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The portal for centralized management and virtual controller for APs are very valuable What is our primary use case? Our company uses the solution for wireless service. We currently use the latest version but have been using the solution since version six. The solution is hybrid because it is deployed on-premises but managed in the cloud. Our company currently has 300 users and we plan to grow by 100 more. What is most valuable? The solution is well designed so you can easily integrate it in an infrastructure network. The APs can be implemented as a campus AP, remote APS, or instant APs. As soon as you buy the solution, you can instantly use APs. You don't need anything external because you can use the virtual controller inside the APs. It is easy to create clusters using the controller that comes inside the AOS of the APs. You can add an external controller at any time because the solution is resilient and very upgradeable. The security components are very, very, very well designed and strong. The Aruba Central portal allows you to centralize all management for your infrastructure and security. It is not a monolithic solution. What needs improvement? The solution's documentation could be better organized in an information portal. There are many assets on the technical side so there is a lot of documentation. Sometimes it takes work to find what you need because of the vastness of information. You need to know the products to find things. The solution could offer some kind of portal for documentation to better organize things. The cloud CHS and remote APs could be improved faster. The solution has already been integrated with the cloud and there are plans for other product integrations but they could occur faster. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using the solution for five years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The solution is very stable and reliable. I rate stability a nine out of ten. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? The solution is very scalable. I rate scalability a ten out of ten. How are customer service and support? The technical support is very useful and good. Every time we need help and open a case, they solve our issues. Technical support is very knowledgeable about the solution. Most of our issues are regarding upgrading versions or firmware. We sometimes need assistance finding new versions. The process for solving our issues is very straightforward. Technical support is rated a ten out of ten. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? We previously used Cisco. How was the initial setup? The setup is very easy. All the APs come from the manufacturer so you can start right away with configurations. The features make configurations and upgrades very easy. I rate setup a ten out of ten. What about the implementation team? Three in-house engineers implemented the solution with help from an integrator. Deployment took one week to ten days. There is no ongoing maintenance because the solution is very, very reliable. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? The pricing is fair and similar to other products. It might be a bit cheaper than Cisco. I rate pricing an eight out of ten. Which other solutions did I evaluate? Cisco is a good product but is old and very monolithic. They are working to improve but their mindset is different. The solution is the future because it integrates with the cloud and addresses new needs. We prefer the design and strategy of the solution over Cisco. What other advice do I have? When you are looking for a wireless option, it is important to pay attention to key points that include resilience, expandability, security, and integration. The solution is one of the best available and is very valuable for centralizing management. It is very resilient and expandable so you can grow it to the needs of your company. Even if you buy the small solution, the features of the big solution are there. This is a great benefit over Cisco. For example, you buy a switch from Cisco that includes 48 ports but only 16 of the ports have licenses. If you need more ports, you need to buy more licenses. With the solution, you don't need to buy additional licenses. What you buy is what you get with all the included features like AOS and security. This is very important because you can start small and grow using the same device with no extra licensing costs. It is important to find a solution that already implements security. The solution has all these features included so that is why we moved away from Cisco. The solution also integrates very well with nearly every other vendor. The solution is a very good product and I rate it a ten out of ten. Which deployment model are you using for this solution? Hybrid Cloud If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Provides all the needed security options, but the support should be faster What is our primary use case? We use the solution for corporate users and guest users who come to the company. We use it for IoT devices, like factory devices and cameras. How has it helped my organization? We have a multi-site design with Aruba. For small locations, we use Aruba Remote Access Point. We can open a VPN tunnel to the controllers, and the users can connect their servers securely. For example, we used a captive portal solution from Aruba. The guest users could log in using web portals without any tools. What is most valuable? We manage all wireless devices from Aruba Central. Aruba AirWave is an on-premise solution. If we have our own servers, we can use AirWave and troubleshoot wireless networks. It's a good management system. It enables easy troubleshoots and management. The solution is secure. It has all the security options. What needs improvement? The support should be faster. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using the solution for four or five years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The tool is stable. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? The tool is scalable. We have about 3000 users. How are customer service and support? The support was better before. Now it is not good. It should be improved. How was the initial setup? The setup is complex for new users. Cloud deployment is easier than on-premise deployment. The deployment can be done in one to two days. What about the implementation team? The deployment can be done in-house. We can deploy devices from the cloud for remote locations. We need not go there. Aruba has a solution for zero-touch provisioning. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? The product is expensive. We need to renew the license to use the tool. What other advice do I have? I will recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten. Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A stable and scalable product that is a bit complex to use and operate What needs improvement? Aruba Wireless is a little bit complex to use and operate. So, it can be an area for improvement. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using Aruba Wireless for three to four years. Also, I don't remember the version of the solution I am using. I am a customer of the solution. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The product has been pretty stable. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? The product is scalable. Around 150 people in my company are using the solution. We need only one administrator for the solution. How are customer service and support? I haven't faced any problems with customer support. How was the initial setup? Regarding the deployment process, it keeps showing updates. What about the implementation team? A third party did the implementation. I'm not familiar with the setting. So, I got help from a consultant. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? We have some licenses for the solution, and we need not renew licenses. But we need to pay a hundred thousand if you want to renew our subscription and renew the hardware. But if we switched to another solution like Ruckus, I think maybe it is just a similar amount even if we don't have the license. So we are considering this, but have not reached a decision yet. Also, we need to make additional payments for support. Which other solutions did I evaluate? Based on our evaluations, we are considering Ruckus and Ubiquiti over Aruba since Ruckus' and Ubiquiti's functions and settings are okay, making them easy to use. What other advice do I have? Aruba Wireless will phase out. We are actually phasing out and looking at other solutions. We are switching because it's a bit expensive, so we are looking for a cheaper solution. Because of the price and ease of use, I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten. Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Has good performance and reliability features What is our primary use case? At our company, we use the solution on a daily basis for our customers in the healthcare sector. What is most valuable? Aruba Wireless has its own protocols in the controller that are managed by the firewall of our company. What needs improvement? The vendor should include multiple additional protocols for basic applications and advanced tech that are absent in Aruba Wireless. Overall, the product needs further development by introducing new tech features. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using Aruba Wireless for five years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The solution offers satisfying stability. I would rate the stability an eight out of ten. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? Aruba Wireless has adapted to the scaling needs of the customers of our organization. As our company works with clients in the healthcare sector, we need to manage diverse management systems and supplies. At our company, we segregate all the systems based on Aruba Wireless's performance in integration with the firewall of the systems. I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. How are customer service and support? In the beginning phase after purchase, the vendor provided us with support, but later on, we didn't require much support for Aruba Wireless. For any issues that arise for the customers of our organization, we try to resolve them in-house and minimize the downtime. The Aruba Wireless vendor tries to rectify any issues or bugs that arise in our organization. I would rate the customer support an eight out of ten. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive How was the initial setup? During the product's initial setup process in our organization, we faced numerous obstacles at the configuration level because, in some cases, complete configuration was not possible only using the GUI. Some configurations need to be implemented using the command line. Nowadays, for other solutions, all configurations can be implemented using GUI, and it makes the setup more user-friendly and manageable, removing the need to memorize commands. I would rate the setup of Aruba Wireless as four out of ten. The deployment of Aruba Wireless using GUI should ideally take one or two days, but in our organization, due to the configuration obstacles, it took five days. The deployment process took an entire team because the solution needed to be deployed separately for more than 500 access points to join the network loop. In our organization, Aruba Wireless is used for on-prem environments because the majority of our customers belong to the healthcare segment and thus have their own private medical data and records that cannot be shared in the cloud. Even for disaster recovery, our customers avail local resources, and any private data is not shared. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? I would rate the pricing a five out of ten. Which other solutions did I evaluate? There are many options in the market, and in our company, we evaluated them based on budget. In the past, when our organization was starting out and there were quite a limited number of employees and clients, we didn't need any solutions from Aruba, but when the company expanded, a reliable and budget-friendly solution like Aruba Wireless was required rather than small solutions with limited users. Our company had the option to choose a similar solution from Cisco, but Aruba Wireless was finalized due to its cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface, and easy integrations. What other advice do I have? I would rate the performance and reliability features of the solution an eight out of ten. At our company, we have achieved certain cost savings by using Aruba Wireless because the competitor tools from vendors like Cisco are more expensive. At our company, from the core to the ERS network we are using backbone switches from Cisco. I would definitely recommend Aruba Wireless to others. I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

The Aruba Wireless solution has excellent roaming capabilities, ensuring seamless connectivity. Once installed, Aruba Wireless works robustly without overheating issues. This is particularly effective compared to other products I've used, like FortiMonitor and FortiAPs, which sometimes heat up. I am very satisfied with the roaming feature, as it ensures connectivity when moving from one location to another. The product's stability, after setting it up, adds to its value. What needs improvement? Improvement is always possible. They need to work on reducing prices as they are currently on the higher side. At the time of purchase, the prices were moderate, but now they are quite expensive. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using Aruba Wireless for approximately five years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The solution is one hundred percent stable. I have been using the product for the last nine years without facing any issues post-installation. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? The solution is scalable, as multiple sites connect seamlessly. It offers reliable connectivity across various locations. How are customer service and support? The customer support is good. I would give it nine points out of ten. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? I previously used FortiMonitor and FortiAPs. FortiMonitor's features were not useful for me, so I moved towards using HP products. I did not find satisfaction with FortiMonitor, which led me to HP. How was the initial setup? The initial setup requires careful planning about what I want to do with the product. Once the roadmap is clear, the setup becomes straightforward. What was our ROI? The solution is time-saving, especially with its roaming capabilities. There are significant time savings, around thirty to forty percent, due to minimal disconnections. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? The solution involved a one-time cost, and I am managing the expenses with maintenance in mind. The initial prices were more affordable compared to the current high prices. Which other solutions did I evaluate? I evaluated FortiMonitor during its deployment, however, the results from HP were superior. What other advice do I have?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Experience seamless office access with cost-saving controllerless solutions What is our primary use case? I use Aruba Wireless solutions for enterprise access and office open spaces. What is most valuable? The best features of Aruba Wireless are its controllerless solutions. I do not need to buy a controller for the access point since the Aruba Access Point has a built-in virtual controller. This solution is cost-saving. I do not have to purchase additional controllers for management. Its ease of management and high scalability are very beneficial. What needs improvement? The access points could be cheaper. While the technical specifications are satisfactory, the access points are expensive. For how long have I used the solution? I have more than five years of experience working with Aruba Wireless. What do I think about the stability of the solution? I perceive the stability of this solution as very high, rating it as nine or ten. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? The scalability of this solution is very high. How are customer service and support? Customer service and support are of high quality. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive How was the initial setup? The initial setup of Aruba Wireless was easy. I set up only one access point, which acts as a virtual controller, and other access points configure themselves using this virtual controller. What was our ROI? This solution is cost-saving. There is no need to buy additional controllers for managing access points. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? The pricing can be expensive, and there is room for improvement for cheaper access points. What other advice do I have? I rate the overall solution as nine out of ten. I recommend this solution due to its simple installation, easy management, high scalability, and high availability. Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Offers clear network visibility quickly while needing more devices for optimal coverage What is our primary use case? My primary use case is mainly for trying to find out which device is where and which device is in fault, or for guest access. What is most valuable? I can have a clear picture of what's happening in my Wi-Fi cellular networking environment. One feature that stands out is that it's quite simple to have a clear situation on my network. When the device is switched on, it automatically sees it, which is nice. What needs improvement? I had some problems with Wi-Fi coverage in the workshop, which required purchasing more devices. For how long have I used the solution? I have used Aruba Wireless for about four years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The stability is good. I don't remember it going down during the years it existed. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? I don't have a big problem. I had nine access points in the beginning, then added six more, and the transition was smooth. How are customer service and support? I had a good support experience. I only needed support once or twice for a replacement, and it was handled smoothly without any difficulty. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? There was a switch from the Cisco solution due to several reasons, including only having WEP security, physical control instead of cloud control, and frequent downtimes. We often had to restart the wireless system. We had another solution, a Cisco solution, that was much less stable. Wireless security with the previous system used WEP, however, now we have a more secure environment. How was the initial setup? It is straightforward to set up Aruba Wireless. It is simple to use, and when you switch on the device, it automatically configures itself within the network. What about the implementation team? I had a network specialist on the phone who guided me. It was just myself and that one other person. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? I would say the price is good. It was a key point in decision-making relative to Cisco. What other advice do I have? I would give Aruba Wireless a rating of around eight out of ten. The overall experience is satisfactory.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very stable, reasonably priced and great for small to medium size organizations What is our primary use case? I work for an international service integrating company and we provide resources that are distributed internationally. We use Wireless for our branch and remote locations, and it's mainly for the internet. We are service integrators and deploy this solution as well as provide support to multiple customers. I am the director of technology and we are currently customers of Aruba. What is most valuable? Reasonably priced and great for small to medium size organizations. One positive is that they're not constantly providing upgrades and that reduces exposure to complications. What needs improvement? I haven't yet seen a cloud-based wireless controller in Aruba and I'm waiting for that as well as a heat map analysis which is also lacking. I'd like to see application visibility in the next release on the inbound and outbound traffic flow. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The solution is working well and we haven't had any issues with stability. Traffic flow is starting to increase now that workers are returning to the office, and we're likely to move to Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 in the near future. How are customer service and support? Getting a response from technical support is really tough and is a pain point for us. It doesn't flow like in Cisco Tech. How would you rate customer service and support? Neutral How was the initial setup? The initial setup is pretty easy, certainly not as complicated as Cisco. There aren't many upgrades or major bugs so it's more stable than Cisco. Deployment time depends on the size of the project. A small site will take about two weeks, a larger project might take three or four weeks. We have nine engineers supporting Aruba. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? I'm unaware of the cost but I know it's cheaper than Cisco and that is why Aruba generally wins when a contract goes to tender or in the procurement phase. What other advice do I have? A key factor is to ensure the solution suits your requirements. If a smaller organization is looking for an on-prem solution, then Aruba would fit in. For larger deployments, it would be better to go with Cisco. If you're an organization with 400 different sites, Cisco is the way to go. Aruba has proven itself for smaller to midsize deployments. The solution does what it's meant to and I'm happy with it. I rate this solution eight out of 10. Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
