"The most valuable feature of Aruba Switches is security."
"Scalable and reliable solution for your network connectivity needs, with a straightforward setup."
"It's a reliable product that you can depend on."
"I like the Aruba Central platform. It makes a lot of sense. The switches have a lot of great capabilities. Central can lockdown VLANs and control the apps and protocols. There are several built-in security features that I'm not utilizing. However, those capabilities are part of the reason I'm using enterprise switches in a small office. I like knowing that I can do these things when necessary."
"The solution's stability is really great. We found it very solid."
"It can scale well."
"These switches are simple and easy to configure."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"D-Link has a graphical interface that is easy to use. It is simple enough that our junior technicians can configure the switches."

"The main selling point for me was the pricing. Moreover, the performance is good. I haven't had any issues so far."
"The migration from older to newer products could be improved."
"Aruba is still losing out to Cisco, which continues to dominate the space. Aruba needs to continue to improve its product range in order to compete with Cisco's dominance."
"The product could be a little more competitive price-wise."
"The element of security always can be improved. If the solution continues to improve its security functionality, it will continue to be a great product."
"The written documentation, all the available documentation, is often a little bit hard to find. The solution lacks documentation, especially on recent features. We have access directly to Aruba, Germany, so they are always helpful, but if you start, for instance, with something a little bit more complex like zero-touch provisioning, that would require a more comprehensive written piece."
"Aruba's management suite has some room for improvement."
"I would like to see them integrate a monitoring solution."
"It's an expensive product."
"This solution is not good for distribution at the core."
"The D-Link Ethernet Switches have to be replaced because they are difficult to manage and security is poor. They should add centralized manageability to make the solution better, it will allow administrators to better know what is happening on the network."
"We have issues with the stability."
"The solution's web filtering feature could be improved."
"The solution needs to improve layer 2 switches."
"The solution needs better local support."
"It should be more stable, and it should have good integration with the cloud. It should support configuration, supervision, and control through the cloud."
"Its security features need improvement."
