Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"a value-for-money product and comparatively a very reasonable price compared to competitors like SAP or IBM."

"Aruba Switches are definitely stable."
"Scalable and reliable solution for your network connectivity needs, with a straightforward setup."
"We like that it is very easy to manage the product through the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is the Aruba Smart Rate Port."
"It's stable."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see network access control on the switches themselves. I would like to see security functionalities when it comes to monitoring the bit of the wireless section of the switches."
"The need to come up with a bit more flexibility in their range of models."
"I would like to see something like a Cisco Prime, an application controlling the entire system, switches, and access points."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing because the Aruba Central licenses add a high cost."
"The log viewer should be improved."
"Aruba Switches cover lots of areas and support automated and IOPS and with the central products, but I think when we look at the solutions overall, IOPS devices are not covered so much in Aruba Central. We are in Croatia and it is a small country, I don't know how its situation is in Europe, America, or Asia."
"The solution must improve the switch models."
"I would prefer it if they reduced the cost of the switches and the access points."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is a bit expensive."
"Aruba switches work without a license."
"There are no licensing costs for the Aruba Switches."
"Our customers may want better pricing but we are a reseller and a partner, and the pricing that we get is good."
"The price point was a big consideration for us and it is reasonable enough that we're able to standardize on Aruba for the networking pieces in our organization."
"There is not a switch that I would give more than six out of ten for pricing because, over the last year, the prices have been increasing very high."
"It is expensive compared to the competition."
"This is an affordable solution."
"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
