"It is good as it is. If anything, its reporting could be improved."
"There was only ever one case in which an access point failed, but it was reintegrated. The issue was more of a matter of oversight. One part of the network had covered ten access points."
"Doesn't support enough access points in one cluster."
"Aruba Instant should not have a limit on users for future releases."
"I believe there's room for improvement in monitoring, especially when troubleshooting issues. Currently, there's limited intelligence around monitoring. It needs to improve stability and scalability."
