The Wireless Controller's firewall feature and the ClearPass Access Management product's NAC feature.

As of now, we are utilising the existing features of the product and it satisfies all our requirement.

Additional troubleshooting capabilities for the ClearPass product.

Previously was using Meru and switched due to additional features and functionality in the Aruba products.

The Aruba product has more features than the other competitive wireless solutions available in this domain. Product has good stability.

The Aruba Adaptive Radio Management (ARM), Spectrum Analysis and Wireless Intrusion Protection are the most valuable capabilities for me. ARM is helpful because it manages my network for me basically. The Spectrum Analyzer and the WIP are my eyes in the sky, so to speak.

First of all we use to have standalone AP’s and we had to manage each one separately which was very time consuming for me but now we have a centralized management network with the Aruba 3400 series platform that saves me time in managing. Secondly we had a lot of issues with clients hogging all of the airtime and causing other clients to have to wait but now with Aruba Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) all of our clients have a fair share of airtime and the adjustments are automatic in the controller.

They may have already improved on this but it would be good to have more than 4GB for the firewall. I think this is the only thing I can think of for improvements.

Just over one year

I didn’t have any issues when I deployed to Aruba 3400 series platform. The process was smooth and exciting.

I didn’t have any issues with stability. We have been up and running for over a year now and the users are very happy with our network.

I haven’t had any issues with scalability. We haven’t had any growth or additional things since we deployed the Aruba 3400 series platform.

On a scale from 1 – 10 I would say a 7. I haven’t used the customer service enough to give a higher rating.

Yes I previously used a Cisco Solution. We changed products because Aruba was better in cost.

The initial setup was straightforward. We deployed all of the hardware and configured the controller and watch the AP’s authenticate and associate with the controller.

We used a vendor to the deployment. The deployment went absolutely well. I will have to give the vendor a 10 for their expertise and work they did.

My ROI is 125%. We have better production for the workers and IT team.

No! We only evaluated Aruba.

If you are interested in a solution that is straightforward in configuring and deploying choose Aruba solutions. If you want features that will open up more time for you as a network admin Aruba solutions is for you. If you are looking to improve your WLAN performance, scalability, stability, and security Aruba solutions is for you.

1. The Integrated firewall

2. The captive portal authentication for guests

3. The modular configuration system (by profile and)

3. AppRF new system (from ArubaOS version 6.4)

4. Mutli-site Architecture (master local architecture)

5. Advantageous licensing system (by Access point and not by user, the license server feature from version 6.3).

1. The new version is not stable.

2. Teintroduce the Visuel-RF mapping system in the Aruba controllers.

3. Download the firmware without a support account

4. stabilization of clearpass

5. Prepare documentation that handles concepts and not "how to"

Yes, but generally with the new OS version and with ClearPass.

Not really.

It is a scalable product, but it does not have a Virtual version of the controller.

No idea, i do not deal with them.

No, Aruba WLAN was my first experience with WLAN solutions and is unique.

I think the setup and the configuration of Aruba is complex.

Clients use Aruba Wireless for their wireless network needs.

We have many customers using the solution, both on-premises and cloud.

The support for both on-premises and cloud deployments has proven to be very effective.

We are not facing any difficulty in convincing customers to have Aruba Wireless, and there are no specific features that customers are particularly looking for in wireless.

I have been using the solution for over ten years.

The solution is very stable. Many customers do not face any complaints about the product or the network going down.

I rate it ten out of ten on scalability.

Technical support is good.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward.

I do not know how to calculate our ROI.

Pricing is competitive compared to other companies like Cisco.

I would definitely recommend Aruba Wireless.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

The solution's most valuable features are authentication and third-party vendor integration.

The solution's GUI for configuration could be better.

We have been using the solution for two years.

The solution is stable. I rate its stability a nine out of ten.

We have enterprise businesses as our customers for the solution. I rate its scalability an eight out of ten.

The solution's technical support is excellent.

Positive

Compared with the solution, Cisco Wireless has a more user-friendly GUI for configuration.

The solution's GUI for configuration is complicated. Thus, it is easier to implement if you have experience using it. There should be drag-and-drop features to make it more easier. I rate the process a four out of ten. It takes a month to complete.

The solution's cost is affordable. I rate its pricing a five out of ten.

The solution is stable, integrates with different platforms, and is reasonably priced. I rate it an eight out of ten.

We are a solution provider and Aruba Wireless is one of the products that we implement for our clients. It provides wireless network access to local users.

One of our implementations is in a hospital, and we have also installed it in a few government offices.

The most valuable features are the Instant On capabilities, including the controller. You don't need to have a separate controller.

They should have more support for implementing Aruba Wireless in Smart Cities and outdoor applications.

The price of this product could be improved.

I have been working with Aruba Wireless products for more than five years.

Aruba Wireless is a stable product.

This solution scales easily.

The technical support is helpful.

The initial setup was not difficult. We had an issue during the implementation, but we fixed it when we contacted support.

My main concern about this product is the price. The cost is causing me to look at other vendors and competing products.

I am currently looking into dealing with similar products from Huawei. In our market, we are competing with other implementors.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
