Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

In my latest company, we use Aruba Networks and Cisco Wireless on-site. We use Aruba for IPs on Azure, while Cisco Wireless is used on Azure as well due to the high cost of data processing. For Aruba, we use models like the 5747 and the latest 370 series. In addition, there are other services like the 7200 controller and the 5700 series used across various rooms.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is a bit high, and I would rate it a six on a scale of one to ten, with ten being the most expensive.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

What other advice do I have?

The solution is good for our environment. Overall, I rate it a perfect ten.

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
