Kannan Venkatraman - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Reasonably priced and offers a good GUI
The product is very scalable. When it comes to some schools, they start with the solution's proof of concept in certain sections. My company aims to improve the throughputs in the schools where the product is installed. If the rest of the School wants the product, it is easy to set up the solution. My company uses Aruba Networks Wireless WAN for schools and warehouses but not in the retail sector. The product offers reliability and uptime twenty-four hours and seven days a week. My company gets notified if the reliability offered by the product goes down. My company also gets notified if we are getting hacked.

Pros

"The tool can work without distributor architecture or seller access points."
"The stability is excellent."
"When you go on the website, everything is clear and you don't have to ask questions."
"The solution is overall a great product. The stability is one of the best aspects of it. It's also useful in helping control multiple access points. You don't need to have a physical controller like other brands."
"From the performance perspective, I'm happy with the solution. Also, from the technical side, it seems to be pretty good."
"The most valuable features are price, quality, and performance."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."

Cons

"I would like to see something for remote working."
"The price could be reduced."
"Alcatel-Lucent Teldat needs to reduce its price."
"The integration should be better."
"This product needs more flecibility with switching technologies."
"When it comes to configuring rules for file security tests, any issues that arise can be referred to as "glitches". Despite the extensive configurations required, the process itself is not overly complicated."
"The product offers a feature that pinpoints where the devices are to help users find them easily if they want to know where a laptop or tablet is, but it is a feature that needs improvements due to some shortcomings."
"This solution needs different models that are more specialized for certain customers."
"If they provided more updates that would be ideal."
"Aruba Networks Wireless WAN is expensive."
"They have to work on their Aruba Central cloud platform. There are still some glitches such as not showing proper user details. When we removed the AP from the Aruba Central cloud, it showed up as being connected to Aruba Central. They need to fix these issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a one-time licensing fee. There is no need to renew it."
"I don't find this solution expensive but pricing is relative."
"The solution's licensing costs are one-time. It is not expensive. I rate its pricing a four out of ten. It provides us with a lifetime warranty."
"The solution is expensive."

"With some vendors, the access point is not manageable anymore if you don't maintain the license. It's more or less a doorstop because you can't configure and control it. You can't troubleshoot it unless you maintain the license. That's not true with Aruba."
"The price of this solution is approximately 1,000,000 ESP ($6,750 USD)."
"The licenses are available as both perpetual or yearly."
"The price of this solution is better than some other vendors."
"Aruba Wireless comes with the controller."
