Aruba Wireless Reviews

We have many clients and therefore many use cases. It's used in manufacturing, hospitality, hospitals, commercial buildings, and shopping centers.

The cost is pretty good. It's what draws in the clients. 

It has a straightforward initial setup.

The solution can scale.

It's a stable product.

Technical support is good.

The solution is now taking eight to 12 months to deliver the product. It takes too long to receive it right now.

Depending on how you design the setup, it can get complicated. 

I've been dealing with the solution for ten or more years. 

It's a stable solution. We haven't had any issues. It's reliable and the performance is good. 

You can scale the solution quite well. It's a good option for enterprises or large rollouts. 

It's been so far, so good with technical support. We're satisfied with it overall. 

We also use Ruckus Wireless.

The initial setup's level of difficulty depends on how we design the network. It can be very complicated if we're talking on a campus level and there are a thousand touch points. 

I'm a systems integrator. I can implement the product for clients. 

The price is reasonable.

We are a system integrator, an IT company.

We are still selling the latest version.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. The customers for the most part are happy with it. 

We are using Aruba Wireless to connect our internal network.

The user interface could be improved in Aruba Wireless. This would make the setup easier.

I have been using Aruba Wireless for approximately three years.

Aruba Wireless is a stable solution.

We have approximately 200 people using this solution in my organization.

I have used the support from Aruba Wireless.

I rate the support from Aruba Wireless a four out of five.

I was previously using Cisco small business. We switched to Aruba Wireless because the capacity was better and was more stable. I wanted to switch to SQL Enterprise but the price was very high compared to Aruba Wireless.

Aruba Wireless has been straightforward to set up.

I rate the initial setup of Aruba Wireless a four out of five.

I have received a return on investment while using Aruba Wireless.

The price of Aruba Wireless has a more competitive price than other solutions.

I rate the price of Aruba Wireless a four of five.

I rate Aruba Wireless an eight out of ten. 

The coverage, concurrent user life, and visualization are the most valuable features of these solutions.

The configuration of the virtual controller could be improved. When they reach a maximum of 100 the configuration is lost.

In the next release, I would like the WiFi text included.

Whether videos are online or in live sessions, it can take a long time to deliver videos in Aruba Wireless.

Aruba Wireless is a stable product.

Aruba Wireless is scalable, but it has limitations. 

When you reach the limit of 100 users or have too many devices, you will experience a loss of connectivity.

In Jordan, the technical support for Aruba Wireless is very good.

I am certified, in Sophos XG.

We work with Full Configuration, Virtual Controller Wireless, Ruckus, and Cisco.

For our customers, we deploy both on the cloud and on-premises.

The initial setup of Aruba Wireless is easy, but the controller device is difficult.

The virtual controller process is very simple. For example, configuring a user portal or a cap portal is extremely difficult.

To configure a user, I must log in to the user portal, with a username, and password. It's extremely difficult in the device controller.

The price is reasonable. I would rate it a three out of five.

I would rate Aruba Wireless a seven out of ten.

We use this solution for law enforcement, medical, etc.

We have couple campus and throughout the country. Our users are able to use their laptop or cell phone while on the move from one location to different location across the country while maintaining connection. And also for me as administrator, we can use Aruba WIFI along with the clear path authentication, TechX, and Samuel. This enables users to experience seamless connection to the organization.

We appreciate the integration options that are available.

I believe that Aruba's support could be improved.

Aruba is pretty stable.

This solution is extremely scalable. We have about one thousand users and have license for ten thousand.

They made some changes to support that I am not happy with.

We have used Cisco and Ruckus in the past. We are still using Ruckus, but stopped using Cisco due to directors orders.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward and took just a couple of hours.

We deployed via out in-house team of a couple of engineers.

Be sure that you know your infrastructure, how many users will be using it, and how many SSIDs you use. This will help you maximize integrations and have engineers that can successfully navigate the new system.

I found a lot of things, a lot of functions to be most valuable in Aruba Wireless. It depends on the category of the features you are looking for. From a security perspective, a performance perspective, a quality perspective, and a user experience perspective, there are a lot, so I can't mention a specific feature.

The best feature for me would be the visibility of this solution.

This solution can also cover thousands of access points, and that's another thing I like.

What I'd like improved in Aruba Wireless is for it to be a full cloud solution.

Making the setup more simple is another area for improvement for Aruba Wireless. There's a big solution for this, but it's not a huge enterprise solution, but Aruba Wireless has thousands of access points, so it's okay.

Security still needs some work with Aruba Wireless, because you don't know which users are accessing, what each user is trying to do, what the applications are and the intentions behind the applications, so there are a lot of complexities behind the scene.

The wireless access points from Aruba Wireless are not just access points, e.g. they form a platform that contains a lot of features such as cloud features, security features, even IoT, so I recommend to have these in all the product range, including small business solutions, so this is what I'd like to see in the next release.

I've been working with Aruba Wireless for more than six years.

Aruba Wireless has great stability within uptime and service time, but from a security perspective, it's not stable, because it's exposed to the users. A lot of CDEs and security issues appear every day. From a security perspective, there are a lot of challenges for everyone, but within uptime, the stability of this solution is perfect.

I have no doubts about the scalability of Aruba Wireless. Its scalability is amazing.

Technical support for this solution is good. If I were to rate technical support, with five being the highest, I'm giving it a four out of five.

The initial setup for Aruba Wireless is not easy. It's not straightforward. The setup for the solution is quite complicated, but this is not unusual, because it is an enterprise solution, and it is no different from the competition, in terms of the complexity of the setup.

If I would rate the setup of Aruba Wireless between one to five, with five being the highest, I'm rating the setup a two.

I've worked with Cisco and Mojo solutions.

I'm a technical engineer, and I'm leading the networking team in one of our system integrations today. I'm an integrator. One of the solutions that we are providing is wireless, e.g. Cisco, Aruba Wireless, and Mojo from Arista.

My advice to an organization looking to implement Aruba Wireless is to take it, because I've seen a lot of vendors and I've dealt with customers, so everyday I assume there would be different challenges with my customers. With Aruba Wireless, there are no doubts about its quality and uptime.

I'm rating Aruba Wireless an eight out of ten.

We using now working with a customer in Jedda. We sold more than 738 access points - 294 outdoor access points and around 500 indoor ones. We sold a controller for this number as well.

Aruba has a lot of features. 

The stability is the best. It's very reliable. 

The roaming signal is excellent. 

You can do firewalling over the WiFi which is unique.

The initial setup is easy.

Sometimes the configuration is difficult. 

Aruba needs to offer an IT telephone in order to can catch all of the market. Cisco already has an IT telephone security product. Aruba does not. If Aruba offered an IP conference option it would be great.

I've worked with Aruba for seven years at this point. 

The stability is great, as is the reliability and the performance. there are no bugs or glitches. it doesn't crash or freeze. the signal is strong. 

Aruba is scalable. Many products are. For example, if we have a controller, we can manage 2,000 access points and can add another thousand access points.

Technical support is very good, very qualified. We are very happy with their level of knowledge and support.

We are a partner for Aruba, Cisco, and Huawei.

The implementation is easy. Anyone that has a platform from Aruba or knows about Aruba knows about configuring the product, which can be difficult. There are many deployment options for a natural configuration. You need to figure out what type of deployment you are doing (and there can be many) and do it according to your specific needs. If one has enough experience or is certified from Aruba, he can do it. If he doesn't it's complex and difficult. 

ClearPass from Aruba is complicated. However, it's a very good, powerful software.

We are on a partner, gold partner at tier-one for HP. We are working directly with the vendor. There isn't any team, or any supplier, or anyone between us and Aruba. For Cisco, we are working with their team or, and the suppliers from Europe, from Dubai. We request some material from them, and that's all. Huawei has the same setup as Cisco.

I'm certified ACMP, ACSP, ACDB, and a certified ACAD, AC professional.

While the latest release was 10, we are working with 8.7.

New users will get a lot of benefits from Aruba. They have a lot of products - including ClearPass. Users will not find any net solution like ClearPass, from anyone. In Gartner, it is a leader in IoT for wired and wireless IoT such as cameras, access control, et cetera. They also have great switches. It's a very big vendor like HP. 

Aruba has a lifetime warranty. You don't need to get proactive care; the hardware already has a lifetime warranty. In the end, you will get a lot of benefits. 

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for the wireless services for the entire campus.

The wireless service is pretty much standard. 

We like the centralized configuration and monitoring. 

We like the performance of the access points as they're not easily interfered with by other wireless devices. 

The initial setup was straightforward. It's really easy.

The documentation is great.

The pricing and licensing structure are great.

It's very easy to work with.

I would like to see a faster web interface in the controller and more troubleshooting tools, including real-time troubleshooting tools.

The stability is quite good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

A lot of people use the solution. We have about 120 access points and more than 1,500 clients who use it daily.

In terms of scalability, it is very easy to expand the network. We build new schools and buildings all the time so the usage is always increasing.

We haven't used technical support yet; I really am not qualified to answer to how helpful or responsive they are.

That said, the forums are quite helpful if you need assistance or to gain insights into usage.

We previously used HP Access Point and LANCOM Access Points. The HP series was discontinued and the LANCOM is very outdated. Therefore, we switched over to Aruba.

The initial setup is straightforward and not overly complex. A company shouldn't have any trouble handling the process. 

We had it up and running in a day or two. The deployment is fast.

We have installed and configured it by ourselves. We did not need the assistance of consultants or integrators. That said, we had the access points, however, we needed some education, some training. The company who sold us the access point really spent two or three days training us and then we configured it ourselves.

We had a very good experience with them. We were satisfied with their level of expertise.

The license is not that expensive. The access point comes with a perpetual license. That's a very big deal in this kind of market. For example, Cisco charges annual licenses in comparison. Aruba Access Points come with perpetual licenses. It could be one license and you have it forever. There is no need to renew or buy something extra.

The pricing is very attractive. I'd rate it at a five out of five. 

You buy the controller. You buy the access points and the licenses and that's it. If you want to have technical support on the controller, you have to buy subscriptions. However, the licenses and the warranty of the access points are free and forever. There's an unlimited lifetime guarantee.

We are a university, so we have the whole community using this product.

We are using Access Point 305 with the Aruba controller 7210.

It's a very good solution. We have our problems, however, all wireless products have their problems. We haven't used state-of-the-art wireless solutions like Cisco or Huawei, so we're not able to compare everything together. That said, we are very happy with what we have.

I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

Aruba Wireless has room to improve the connection from one AP to another.

I have been using Aruba Wireless for three years.

The stability of Aruba Wireless has been good.

We have not required scaling at this point.

I would rate solution's technical support a 7 out of 10.

If you are considering Aruba Wireless, make sure you have the best implementation team possible. One that knows the product.

Overall, I would rate this solution an 8 out of 10.
