Provides a lifetime warranty, is reliable, has good technical support, and includes security features
The stability is excellent. It comes with a lifetime warranty. Even if you're going through a difficult patch. If there is a failure in that scenario, it is very minor. We were never encountered that, but If it happens, it's probably due to a web party, such as a power fluctuation. Even our power supply includes a hardware replacement. As a result, there are no issues with the even power supply's lifetime warranty. In the general market, other competitor products, the power supply will not be covered, even though we are covering the power supply with a hardware replacement warranty. Which is where we have an advantage. Security features are included.
Edward Zeng - PeerSpot reviewer

Faced deployment successfully but configuration complexity needs to be reduced
I think the layout is a bit complicated. There are so many different layers to set up, and it is very easy to miss out or make configuration mistakes because they are hierarchical. You need to be very careful about which one has been in use. Aruba ClearPass is also complicated as well. If Aruba could combine all of their products together, it would be great to have a single pane of glass. Currently, the Aruba sensor does not work together with other products. There is no single pane of glass for location configuration, so you need to log into different websites to check the user experience.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The stability is excellent."
"When you go on the website, everything is clear and you don't have to ask questions."
"The tool can work without distributor architecture or seller access points."
"You can use this solution for enterprise companies ranging from five to 5,000 users, and it is very versatile because you get both a cloud version and an on-premises version, so you can use it for unified communication."
"The stability is excellent, it comes with a lifetime warranty, and even our power supply includes a hardware replacement, which gives us an advantage over competitor products where the power supply is not covered."
"We haven't experienced any glitches so far, so it is a very stable program."
"I'd recommend anybody looking at implementing Aruba Wireless to go for it - it's a really, very good product."
"It’s very stable and reliable."
"The solution’s stability is rock solid."
"Aruba Central seems to be a good way to go in cloud management. However, compared to Cisco Meraki, it's still very early days."
"I like the solution's ability to add multiple SSIDs on different levels such as enterprise and guest networks."
"Once Aruba Wireless is set up and configured correctly, you just walk away. That's what we like about it. We have some devices that are six or seven years old, which is rare in the wireless world because everything changes so quickly, but in some banks and municipalities, it just keeps working."
"I rate the stability an eight out of ten."
 

Cons

"The price could be reduced."
"I would like to see something for remote working."
"Alcatel-Lucent Teldat needs to reduce its price."
"In the next release, the security should be improved by including support for WPA3."
"The integration, pricing, and configuration could always be improved upon."
"The customization options could be improved."
"Device integration has room for improvement in Aruba Networks Wireless WAN."
"The most significant issue is that there is no monitoring in Mobility Master and the controller."
"The product should improve Aruba Central."
"Something that needs to be improved is the integration."
"The product needs some simplification of the configuration for their security tools or for SD-WAN, specifically."

"Aruba Wireless comes with the controller."
"The pricing of the product is pretty good."
"Aruba Networks Wireless WAN is pretty cost-efficient than Cisco ISE when my company did a PO, but for a single-party tender, its pricing was on the higher side, so it depends. I rate the pricing for Aruba Networks Wireless WAN as six out of ten."
