Aruba Switches Reviews

The most valuable feature of Aruba Switches is the command-line interface (CLI). It is similar to Cisco's CLI, making the learning curve very small compared to other solutions.

I have some security issues with Aruba Switches. I need to update the firmware and then the problems might go away.

The integration for Aruba Switches could improve. The solution works well with some solutions, such as Cisco, Ruckus, or Brocade switches. However, nonstandard switches could have better integration in order to comply with the standards of natural communication Aruba Switches need to integrate with the other brands.

I have been using Aruba Switches for approximately two months.

Aruba Switches is scalable.

We have approximately 2,000 people using the solution. We have plans to increase usage in the future.

The technical support from Aruba Switches could improve.

The initial installation of Aruba Switches is easy.

We have one person for the maintenance of the solution. However, we have four people who are managing the solution.

Aruba Switches has a lifetime warranty on the solution and after five years the solution will be at its end of life.

Aruba Switches is a solution that is growing at the moment in my country.

I rate Aruba Switches an eight out of ten.

I find all the special switches really valuable.

I would like to see the data center area improving by some added features in the future.

The solution is very stable.

Well, now with the new switches it's even more scalable than before. So with the 6400 switches it's one complete set of switches these days.

The setup was done by our engineering department, but I have heard that it's easy.

I will rate this solution an eight out of ten at least. I would like to see some additional features to be included in the next release, and I would like more data center functionality for our data center people.

We are a solution provider and this is one of the products that we supply to our customers. We have deployed several different models.

This solution is suitable for SME and SMB, mainly in the hospitality industry.

This solution is easy to use.

We have issues with the stability of this product.

The firmware in this solution has a lot of bugs that become noticeable when you have complex implementations.

One of the issues with Aruba switches has to do with part numbers. For example, in the 9230F series, there are a lot of part numbers with lots of interface names that make the user confused as to which one he can use for the future. Some switches have only a 1Gbs uplink while others have only a 10Gbs uplink, and there are no clear details which one has which interface. The difference comes when you look at the pricing. Having less confusing part numbers would be an improvement.

I have found that the chassis-based switches are scalable but the standard modular switches are not.

In my country, they do not have a strong technical support team. However, I was satisfied with the support.

For basic deployments, the initial setup of this solution is straightforward.

I prefer the ICX switches from Ruckus over this solution.

We supply both Ruckus and Aruba solutions to our customers, but regarding stability, future upgrades, and scalability, we prefer Ruckus over Aruba. We have deployed Ruckus with fewer headaches after finalizing the deployments. I open perhaps five cases in a year with Ruckus and I can open ten tickets or ten cases with Aruba.

We prefer Ruckus solutions over Aruba, whether they are wired or wireless.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We are using Aruba switches for our local network infrastructure.

Management-wise, this is a good solution.

This is a very stable switch.

It would be better and easier for us to buy if the price were reduced.

I have been working with Aruba Switches for at least two years.

I've had no issues with problems related to stability. From my perspective, everything is working well.

I have never been in contact with Aruba technical support.

We have worked with other switches from other vendors and I have knowledge about Cisco, HP, and others. With HP, we can get some good discounts.

We had no issues or problems with the initial setup.

We have an internal team for deployment and maintenance.

This is an expensive product, costing about double what most competitors do. I would like to keep Aruba as my infrastructure, but it costs a lot.

From the perspective of IT management, this is a good product, it is working fine and I don't have any issues with it. I can recommend it to others.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Our customer's infrastructure is based on the AKPA solution and we suggested Aruba Switches replace the AKPA Switches.

We like the framework of fabric virtual switching. It is the only virtual link between two switches, particularly with the co-switching environment. The link helps us to avoid issues with the findings tool. 

I think that the environment for our clients should be simplified.

Technical support response time could be better.

This solution is stable, we have not had any issues.

This solution is scalable.

Technical support is available in English and Italian, but they are slow to respond.

Previously we used Ubiquiti, it is cheaper but we went with Aruba and Cisco.

Cisco is stable and we don't have to worry about it not working. Aruba is still new to us, so we don't know it well, or all of the benefits yet.

With documentation and reference points, it's easy. It is easier than Cisco.

It took two to three days to deploy. We had a technician from our company to deploy the solution for our customer. 

We did not implement this solution through a vendor. It was done through our Technicians.

We are system integrators and we propose solutions for our clients.

From what I read in Gartner Magic Quadrant, Aruba Switches rank highly. 

It's a good solution.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use them for our networks as extensions.

The product is user friendly, little to no faults and downtime.

I have been using the product for approximately two years.

We have not had any issues with the product and its functions. It has been stable.

We currently use the solution for approximately 400 employees. We have had no issues with scalability.

The customer service could be a bit quicker and the employees could be more professional.

The install was straightforward, we had no issues.

The product is a bit expensive.

I rate Aruba Switches an eight out of ten.
