Aruba Instant On Switches Reviews

I am using Aruba switches primarily for security, more than one site, stability, and reliability.

The most valuable features I find in Aruba Instant On switches include the access list and VLANs, along with other features such as security and cloud capabilities. The creation of multi-VLANs, access list between VLANs, control, management, and the easy monitoring of switches make it a reliable choice for my organization.

Some models need enhancement of the web interface to make management and monitoring easier. I would appreciate a single interface to manage all network switches from one dashboard.

I have been working with Aruba switches for more than two or three years.

The product is very stable to use and very reliable.

Scalability is a concern. We need to change the model if we want scalability since some models cannot cover all needs in future plans.

HP's technical support is very good in terms of response time and quality. However, the support can depend on the company partner. I deal with a big partner in Egypt, which affects the support quality.

Neutral

We previously used HP switches and moved to Aruba switches since we changed our infrastructure to HCI.

The initial setup for Aruba switches was simple compared to Cisco and other vendors.

I compared Aruba with Cisco, Juniper, and Fortinet. For Fortinet, I considered the FortiSwitch.

I rate Aruba Instant On switches an eight out of ten.

The solution is used in certain districts and airports in my country.

The most valuable feature of the solution is its GUI. The simplicity of the tool's GUI is good.

The difficulty with the tool is in the area of troubleshooting. The problem that we have in our company is that the switches don't get connected properly.

In the future, I want to see AI in the tool.

The tool's pricing part can be improved.

I have been using Aruba Instant On Switches for five years.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Four people in my company use the tool.

The solution's technical support has been helpful. I don't have to reach out to the support team much. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.

Positive

I also work with Fortinet's switches. I also have experience with Extreme Networks switches. I use Cisco's switches. I use Aruba Instant On Switches since my team needs it.

Our company needed some support for the product's initial setup phase.

The solution is deployed on the cloud and on an on-premises model. I use Azure's private cloud services.

The solution can be deployed in around twenty minutes.

My company's technical team consists of nine people who take care of the product's installation phase. There are two engineers and the others are technicians.

If one is very bad, and ten is a very good price, I rate the tool's price as a six.

There is a need to maintain the tool once on a quarterly basis. I maintain the tool by myself and with the help of another company.

The tool helps with AI-driven projects by defining if there is a problem in the product.

I recommend the tool to others.

As there are better products than Aurba in the market, I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

The product must be integrated with Aruba Central for better management.

I have been using the solution for two years.

The tool is very stable.

The tool is scalable. We work with small offices and businesses that do not need high-capacity switches and do not have a lot of data traffic. The customer provides the switches and access points. Our implementation team takes not more than two days.

The setup is very easy. The management is also easy. The deployment takes a few seconds. We just need the internet and the serial number of the device to deploy the product. The devices are on-premise, and the service is on the cloud.

Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Regarding the product, I have dealt with a few use cases involving the replacement of the hardware parts. I don't remember the use cases, but they were linked to software bugs.

The solution's most valuable feature revolves around the fact that we use remote access points for remote work in our company. Aruba's access points can be used to build IPsec tunnels with the main office. The tool has some general features for remote work.

Improvements are required in the product's price. I want it to be cheaper.

I have been using Aruba Instant On Switches for five years. My company has a partnership with Aruba.

It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

It is a scalable solution.

I have used the solution's technical support. The customer support is very friendly and has skilled engineers.

The product's initial setup phase is very simple.

In terms of the product's deployment phase, if we are talking about an access point, I would say that we set up only one access point, and the other access points are connected to our network. The first access point works as a virtual controller for the setup of other access points.

The value derived from the use of the product revolves around the development area as it is very easy to run it in our environment.

I recommended that our company's customers use switches and access points from Aruba.

We don't use the tool's mobile application.

I recommend the product to those who plan to use it because it offers stability and scalability.

Security features for applications in the form of a firewall for access points are good. Other vendors or access points don't offer a firewall.

I rate the tool a ten out of ten.
