- "The powerful features we can put forward in Aruba Airwave are clarity, report creation, and VisualRF."
- "The feature that proved most beneficial for our organization's network monitoring is the virtual four, which we use frequently when working with Aruba."
- "One of the main advantages is its ability to draw building floor plans and analyze Wi-Fi signal behavior in real-time."
Aruba Airwave requires improvements in cost-effectiveness and integration with other platforms. Users find its GUI and CLI management unsynchronized, complicating troubleshooting. The system's pricing is a concern, perceived as high. Monitoring and configuration could be streamlined to enhance manageability. Incorporating AI and integrating more third-party devices would be beneficial. Simplifying configurations, improving error identification, and addressing device compatibility would enhance usability.
- "The biggest problem for not using Aruba Airwave extensively now is that HP is not upgrading this tool. They're not investing money and time into it, which is why we're not using it."
- "My general opinion on Aruba Airwave is that it's acceptable, but it's not ideal because we are accustomed to Cisco."
- "When attempting to copy a floor plan, it does not copy well, so I often have to redraw the walls. It's somewhat annoying since other Wi-Fi design software we use is easier for drawing walls and including floor plans."
