Aruba Instant Reviews

I use the solution in my company's manufacturing area.

The most valuable features of the solution are in the areas like routing and VLAN.

Aruba Instant does not currently offer a multi-gig switch or product, making it an area that requires improvement. Aruba Instant's competitors have multi-gig switches or products.

I have been using Aruba Instant for more than ten years. My company is a reseller of Aruba, Cisco, Ruckus, and NETGEAR.

I recommend the product for SMBs.

The tool's ZTP feature has had little impact on our company's customers' operations. My company hasn't used the tool's ZTP feature.

I am satisfied with the product in general.

I recommend the tool to others.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

One of my government customers has multiple offices across the city, while their IT team is stationed in their central office. So we positioned Aruba wireless solutions across all their offices, and their IT team was able to access and operate APs from their central office.

The most valuable feature of Aruba Instant is its cloud capability, which allows us to manage it through the cloud. All management payloads can be accessed from anywhere, even through our hand-held devices when our IT person is traveling somewhere. When it comes to Aruba Instant, we are getting a more secure and stable solution on a minimum budget.

It would be better if Aruba Instant could provide more security for customers.

It would be better if Aruba Instant could provide a graphical prioritization of application data or application bandwidth.

I have been working with Aruba Instant since its launch, especially in my region.

Compared with the normal Aruba series, Aruba Instant provides easy deployment and a wide range of coverage. However, there is some latency issue when accessing high latency applications like SAP, SAP HANA, and the Aruba Wi-Fi network.

Aruba Instant is a scalable solution.

To deploy Aruba Instant, we first have to create our portal or customer portal and then deploy APs or profiles in the central or cloud console. Discovering APs might take some time, especially from a remote site.

In my region right now, Aruba Instant comes with a default two-year cloud access license. From the third year, we have to renew the solution.

It is not at all difficult to maintain Aruba Instant. I always suggest Aruba Instant, which comes with a three-year subscription or licensing features, because most government customers require a minimum three years upfront license and warranty for all their procurements.

Overall, I rate Aruba Instant a ten out of ten.

We deploy Aruba Instant for customers on a project basis. 

The network planner could be improved. You should be able to import a floor plan, and the application should suggest the optimal placement of your devices. 

I've used Aruba Instant for the last couple of years.

We mostly use Aruba for medium-sized companies, but it could work at the enterprise level. 

I've worked with other products, but I prefer Aruba because of its cost and simplicity. 

Aruba Instant is effortless to set up. That's one reason we use it. It isn't complicated at all. 

Aruba Instant is slightly cheaper than other solutions in the same category. 

I rate Aruba Instant nine out of 10. I recommend planning before you deploy Aruba to map out the ideal location for all your devices. 

I primarily use Aruba Instant to deploy the wireless end in smaller offices.

Aruba Instant's best feature is the ability to manage it in the cloud.

Aruba Instant's visibility, firewalling, L3 functionality, and DHCP services could all be improved.

I've been using Aruba Instant for two years.

Because Aruba Instant is cloud-only, it doesn't work if the internet goes down. When this happens, the device reboots and loses the local configuration, which means the LAN goes down.

Aruba Instant has limited scalability, with a recommended maximum of 100 users.

Aruba's support is good, and we've had no issues with it.

The initial setup was straightforward and easy to manage, even through mobile.

Aruba Instant is a free subscription with a limited lifetime warranty.

I would recommend Aruba Instant for small businesses but not for enterprise. I would give it a rating of eight out of ten.

We use a mixture of deployment models. Sometimes it's hybrid, on-premise, or on the cloud.

The most valuable features of Aruba Instant are management and performance.

Aruba Instant can improve by increasing the gigabit range of the switch or by adding additional management features and tools. It can be helpful.

In a future release, there could be some improvements in the dashboards. At this time dashboards are only available with a wizard.

I have used Aruba Instant within the last 12 months.

I have found Aruba Instant to be stable.

Aruba Instant is scalable.

Technical support is perfectly fine because we have an in-house team that is comfortable with Aruba Instant. As for Aruba Instant technical support, it is perfect.

I have previously used other solutions, such as SEIM and Cisco. I have found the features in Aruba Instant to be better than in SEIM or Cisco. 

Aruba Instant installation was simple.

Some aspect of the price of Aruba Instant is very economical because if the customer is requiring more features the customer needs to pay a higher amount.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Aruba Instant a nine out of ten.

We use this solution as an SMB. Cafe's, small offices, restaurants, etc. are able to use Aruba Instant for wireless connection.

We like being able to merge Aruba Instant to mobile via Bluetooth. You are also able to perform a lot of functions remotely such as creating an SSID IP.

I think that the next release should offer IP phone security/firewall.

I have been using this product since it was released about two or so years ago.

Aruba Instant is a stable solution.

Aruba Instant is a scalable solution.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

We propose it to our customers for Wireless LAN. Internally, in our company, we use Cisco. 

We have many customers, and we implement wireless systems with Aruba, Cisco, and Extreme. There are many customers that use Instant Cluster, and we have customers that use it on-premise. It depends on the people working at the customer side. 

It is very cheap. I can use the access points without an additional license. 

I can implement it at small sites, and I can also implement it at mid-sized locations. It is very flexible. It is really nice and useful for customers who have many small sites. 

It is good as it is. If anything, its reporting could be improved. 

At the moment, I don't see any new features that we really need.

I have been using this solution for about eight years.

It is very stable. It works very well.

It is scalable.

I don't know about their support. It is working fine, and I have had no problem with it.

If I need any information, I can take the help of the Aruba Community. I have access to all the resources on Aruba, and I can search for information if I need to implement things that are not normal and that are not base configuration. I can find everything about Aruba.

It is very easy. I like its setup. It is done in an hour. 

It is not expensive. Its price is fair. You get many features with the normal licensing. If I look at Cisco, it is very expensive if I need similar things.

It is working very well at the moment. I see no problem with it, but it has its own use case. I can't use it everywhere. It is not suitable for a big campus area. I would need a controller-based system such as Aruba Controller.

I would rate it an eight out of 10. It is very good, and I like it.

Our primary use case is for deploying the product in hotels, usually a small deployment where an external controller is not required. Aruba provides a cheap and good solution.

The quick setup and the automatic code embedded in one access point is really useful.

The product could be improved by having the ability to support more access points in one cluster. I would also suggest that the multicast be more efficient.

Improved managing of the multicast could be included in the next release. It's an issue that can sometimes be challenging.

I've been using the product for two years. 

It's a very stable solution. 

It's not the best product for scalability because there's a limit. We use it mainly for small installations. We do use the product on a daily basis and there are maybe 30-40 people using it. 

Aruba provides good technical support. 

We previously used Ruckus Unleashed and switched because in some areas of Europe they prefer Aruba and customers request the product.

Initial setup is quite straightforward, it usually takes about two hours. We have a team that deploy on site and about 20 people working in IT support. 

I would rate this product a seven out of 10.
